Researchers’ Workshop: A New Approach for Literacy Learning in School Libraries

Abstract

This paper presents a model of literacy learning and research in school libraries that is inclusive and responsive to the needs of diverse learners. It draws on four educational theoretical frameworks: sociocultural theory, the pedagogy of care, readers' workshop, and critical pedagogy. This practical model consists of four important phases. They include social interaction, the building and maintenance of caring relationships with students, guided assistance, and students’ right to return for assistance. The paper will discuss the practical applications of the model and how it contributed to higher levels of literacy achievement for a variety of students.
