STEM and SEL for Four and Five-Year-Olds in a Lego Robotics Afterschool Program
This qualitative study explored how STEM learning and social emotional learning (SEL) were enabled with four and five-year-olds in a public after-school program in Northern California. Two teachers implemented a project and play-based pedagogy that used LEGO materials to guide the students in designing and building LEGO objects and structures and in programming and building LEGO robotic devices. The teachers also focused the program on developing…
Difference without deficits
This qualitative study focused on how two teachers employed culturally responsive pedagogy in conjunction with social emotional learning in a year-long LEGO Robotics afterschool program to facilitate STEM learning for four and five-year-olds in a Northern California elementary school. Data included class video recordings, field notes, review of curriculum documents, and the creation of content logs on 15 of the one-hour classes during the 2023–20…
Introduction
Multicultural education’s pedagogies and perspectives work to increase equity and achievement for all students. This article suggests, however, that more emphasis be placed on the unique affinities and contingencies that constitute the identities of each individual, particularly beyond broad, relatively static categories of identification like race or ethnicity. A concept of micro-cultures is proposed to understand the personal-cultural practices…

Digital media offers people new ways to understand themselves and others, to exercise significant choices in the production and consumption of information and ideas, and to engage in wide-ranging s

In-Human Development
In the intricate process of human development, the social construction and imposition of the idea of race and its hierarchy of categories contributes to “in-human” development. In the USA particularly, racial categories have been delineated around certain identity contingencies [Steele, 2010], and despite being inaccurate and unscientific, they are used to forcefully, yet problematically shape human identities and development. Nearly two decades …
Micro-cultures
Multicultural educational research, perspectives, and pedagogical practices emerged in response to assimilationist models for addressing cultural diversity. As a field of study, it incorporates an array of concepts, principles, theories, and content aimed at increasing educational equity and achievement for all students. Though working toward progressive goals, this article argues that multicultural education in the United States mainly operates …
Literacy Learning Within Community Action Projects for Social Change
This case study describes the literacy development of a struggling reader over a seven‐month period as he engaged in a youth‐led participatory action research (PAR) project. The project's goal was for youth participants to develop a proposal for productive change in their local community and present it to community stakeholders. The study focused on ways the participants were supported in gaining skills in research, writing and oral communication…
At Last
Researchers of literacies in out-of-school settings often argue that their studies hold significant implications for teaching practices. This argument seems to be partially supported by studies that have won the Alan C. Purves Award between 1998 and 2001, acknowledging RTE articles most likely to impact educational practice. Yet this line of inquiry obviously does not lessen the continuing need for rigorous classroom-based research. As I contempl…
Black Youth Violence Has a Bad Rap
This research elicited and assessed the perspectives on violence of 41 middle‐school students attending a unique school in a low‐income section of a large northern California city. Through participation in and observation of instruction and other school‐related activities, the researchers explored ways that these students experienced and reflected on violence in their lives and in popular culture. The researchers probed ways that these students' …

Rewriting Identity
S This article describes and analyzes ways that individual views of self are connected to ways in which society views and gives meaning to writing and other literacy practices. It also explores how an individual's identity is affected by both the ability and the inability to write, and by cultural “master myths” (Gee, 1990) concerning literacy. This was done through a study of the life story and perceptions of literacy of a highly literate Latina…
Writing For Their Lives
This article reports on an investigation into the literacy practices of urban African American youth, many of whom were found to be unmotivated to engage in school-based literacy events because they do not see the relevance of the school curriculum to their lives or, based on prior experiences, they actually fear having to write in school. The voluntary out-of-school literacy practices of two African American high school students are analyzed and…
African American Males and Learning
This research investigates language use in a youth basketball program of a neighborhood-based organization and compares it to features of classroom discourse. The central focus is on a key communicative event, the "coaches circle," where significant verbal exchanges between children and adults occur. Coach-player interactions are also contextualized in the mentoring perspective of the program's coaches council. Implications are drawn for extendin…
