A Preservice Teacher's Developing
Conceptions of Multiple Literacies
and Literacy Instruction:
The Case of Sarah

By

Margaret M. Malenka

Research Report No. 8

June 1994

 

The purpose of this study is to investigate how preservice teachers, or white prospective teachers, perceive students' multiple literacies in school and non-school settings. "Multiple literacies" refers to the literacy usages that differ from how literacy is used in school settings, most often reflecting those usages in the dominant culture. As most previous studies have revealed inadequate multicultural teacher education programs, Malenka believes that insight into this issue will help to inform the broader question of how teacher educators can help preservice teachers learn to incorporate non-school literacies into classroom literacy instruction.
