Literacy & Learning

 

     Literacy is a complex interactive process whose construction is determined by the social and cultural context; it is not simply a skill to be learned.

     Learning, as problem-solving, is built from and builds a sense of agency and independence resulting in learning. Experiences of language framed as feedback for problem-solving, the naming and noticing of effective and efficient strategic behavior, elicit engagement and motivation, allowing for the generative use of self-initiated problem-solving strategies, resulting in learning.
