    The Process of Creation: A Novel Methodology for Analyzing Multimodal Data

    In the 21st century, meaning making is a multimodal act; we communicate what we know and how we know it using much more than printed text on a blank page. As a result, qualitative researchers need new methodologies, methods, and tools for working with the complex artifacts that our research subjects produce. In this article we describe the co-development of an analytic methodology and a tool for working with youth produced films as multimodal artifacts of youth engagement with identity. Specifically, we describe how to employ this multimodal framework in data analysis, with an emphasis on how different modes interact with one another, and how new meanings are made possible through multimodal interactions

    The Dramaturgical Process as a Mechanism for Identity Development of LGBTQ Youth and Its Relationship to Detypification

    Abstract This article describes the dramaturgical process-the telling, adapting, and performing of personal stories-as a method for accessing how youth who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning (LGBTQ) construct and present complex identities. Using data collected during an extended case study with the About Face Youth Theatre, an organization that works with LGBTQ youth on the dramaturgical process, this article focuses on the ways in which youth engage with complex issues of identity by telling their personal stories in community contexts and adapting others' stories for performance. Through a narrative analysis of the stories as they were originally told, and a conversational discourse analysis of an adaptation session among a small group of youth, supplemented with reflections from participating youth, this article highlights the ways these practices can support identity development. The author finds that the evolving relationship between master and individual narratives provides great leverage for understanding how LGBTQ youth construct identities. This narrative process demonstrates that detypification is the mechanism by which LGBTQ youth work toward buildin

    El estudio de los entornos de aprendizaje que promueven el desarrollo positivo de los jóvenes es un campo de creciente interés en Estados Unidos. En este artículo describo un tipo de entorno de aprendizaje, organizaciones juveniles basadas en el arte, en el que los jóvenes tienen la oportunidad de construir identidades adaptativas y emergentes. Dentro de estas organizaciones los jóvenes participan en procesos dramatúrgicos: narración, adaptación y representación de narrativas personales. Usando mis propias investigaciones sobre el proceso dramatúrgico realizadas durante los últimos siete años, así como otros estudios empíricos que documentan este tipo de trabajo, sostengo que el proceso dramatúrgico es un poderoso entorno de aprendizaje para comprender el desarrollo positivo de la juventud

    The study of learning environments that support positive youth development is a growing field in the United States. In this article, I describe one type of learning environment where youth have the opportunity to construct adaptive, emergent identities: arts-based youth organizations. Within these organizations, youth participate in the dramaturgical process -the telling, adapting, and performing of personal narratives. Using my own research on the dramaturgical process over the past seven years, as well as other empirical studies documenting this type of work, I argue that the dramaturgical process is a powerful learning environment for understanding positive youth development.El estudio de los entornos de aprendizaje que promueven el desarrollo positivo de los jóvenes es un campo de creciente interés en Estados Unidos.

    Forms of Emergent Collaboration in Maker-Based Learning

    This paper is a work-in-progress where we discuss the ways in which collaboration can be identified and understood in the context of maker-based activities. While the importance of collaboration is often identified as crucial to successful project-based learning activities, there is not much empirical work that describes: a) what these collaborations look like and b) what happens for learners as they engage in collaborative activities. Here, we draw on data from three different studies of maker-based activities to explore the following question: What forms of collaboration are made possible in maker activities? In asking how collaboration develops through making we shift from collaboration as a design feature of learning environments to both a process and an outcome of learning. We take up an emergent perspective on collaboration focusing on the collaborative interactions that occur naturalistically in maker activities

    Designing for Mobile Media, Collaborative Production, and New Literacies in College Classrooms

    As technology continues to proliferate our everyday lives, in this paper, we take a design-based approach to explore how we can leverage such technologies in the design of learning environments. Specifically, we present our active, iterative design of a college course and our analysis of students’ project trajectories throughout the semester. We offer design considerations as a preliminary framework for designing New Literacy learning environments that include emerging digital and mobile technologies
