In Identity and Story: Creating Self in Narrative, the fourth volume in the series Narrative Study of Lives, Dan P. McAdams, Ruthellen Josselson, and Amia Lieblich bring together an interdisciplinary … In Identity and Story: Creating Self in Narrative, the fourth volume in the series Narrative Study of Lives, Dan P. McAdams, Ruthellen Josselson, and Amia Lieblich bring together an interdisciplinary and international group of creative researchers and theorists to examine the way the stories we tell create our identities. An increasing number of psychologists argue that people living in modern societies give meaning to their lives by constructing and internalizing self-defining stories. The contributors to this volume explore how, beginning in adolescence and young adulthood, our narrative identities become the stories we live by. This volume addresses the most important and difficult issues in the study of narrative identity, including questions of unity and multiplicity in stories, the controversy over individual versus societal authorship of stories, and the extent to which stories typically show stability or growth in the narrator. The detailed examination of excerpts from stories told to researchers and the analysis of published memoirs, together with the contributors' insights into narrative psychology, make this provocative volume a rich, research-based exploration into how our lives may be the product of the stories we tell.

However, until recently, little attention has been paid to a theoretical framework that could be employed to increase the effectiveness of technology as a tool in a classroom environment. A discussion of the history of digital storytelling and how it is being used educationally is presented in this article. The theoretical framework, technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPCK), is described, along with a discussion of how this model might be used with digital storytelling.

This trend has been upsetting to some who mourn the loss of quantitative precision and, they would argue, scientific rigor. For many of us, however, these stories capture, more than scores or mathematical formulae ever can, the richness and indeterminacy of our experiences as teachers and the complexity of our understandings of what teaching is and how others can be prepared to engage in this profession. It is not altogether surprising, then, that this attraction to stories has evolved into an explicit attempt to use the literatures on or to define both the method and the object of inquiry in teaching and teacher education. Story has become, in other words, more than simply a rhetorical device for expressing sentiments about teachers or candidates for the teaching profession. It is now, rather, a central focus for conducting research in the field. We are certainly not alone in giving formal attention to story. This term, like others from linguistics and literary theory (e.g., discourse, text, deconstruction), has caught on with considerable enthusiasm throughout the intellectual world and is beginning to appear in widely different contexts. In psychology, for example, Bruner (1985) speaks of a narrative mode of thought, and Sarbin (1986) proposes story as a root for the study of human conduct. Within education, scholars such as Cole and Knowles (1992); Clandinin and Connelly (1992); Elbaz (1991); Grossman (1987); Gudmundsdottir (1991); Hollingsworth (in press); and Richert (1990) have recently made story a central element in their analyses of teachers' knowledge. As Mitchell (1981) noted as early as 1981, The study of narrative is no longer the province of literary specialists or folklorists ... but has now become a positive source of insight for all branches of human and natural science (p. ix). Anyone with even a passing familiarity with the literatures on story soon realizes, however, that these are quite turbulent intellectual waters and quickly abandons the expectation of safe passage toward the resolution, once and for all, of the many puzzles and dilemmas we face in advancing our knowledge of teaching. Much needs to be learned about the nature of story and its value to our common enterprise, and about the wide range of purposes, approaches, and claims made by those who have adopted story as a central analytical framework. What does story capture and what does it leave out? How does this notion fit within the emerging sense of the nature of teaching and what it means to educate teachers? These and many other critical questions need to be faced if story is to become more than a loose metaphor for everything from a paradigm or worldview to a technique for bringing home a point in a lecture on a Thursday afternoon. Given both the excitement story has generated and the many issues this movement has brought to the fore, it seems appropriate to provide an analysis of the place of story in the study of teaching and teacher education. My overall purpose here is to begin the process of clarifying the arguments, mapping the intellectual terrain, and casting light on the major issues we need to consider in incorporating story into our research activities. I have no illusions that this discus-

In the attempt to pull other contributions of this special issue into the debate between small and big, I argue that the small story approach is able to theoretically and methodologically enrich traditional narrative inquiry — not in a peaceful, complementary fashion, but by more radically re-positioning big story approaches as grounded in dialogical/discursive approaches such as small story research.

However, this appeal and sense of comfort has advantages and disadvantages. Some assume narrative inquiries will be easy to design, live out, and represent in storied formats in journals, dissertations, or books. For the authors, though, narrative inquiry is much more than the telling of stories. There are complexities surrounding all phases of a narrative inquiry and, in this article, the authors pay particular attention to thinking about the design of narrative inquiries that focus on teachers’ and teacher educators’ own practices. They outline three commonplaces and eight design elements for consideration in narrative inquiry. They illustrate these elements using recently completed narrative inquiries. In this way, the authors show the complex dimensions of narrative inquiry, a kind of inquiry that requires particular kinds of wakefulness.

Through answering this question, it seeks to test out the relative strengths and weaknesses of two competing concepts for grasping the wider consequences of media for the social world: the concept of mediatization and the concept of mediation. It is argued that mediatization (developed, for example, by Stig Hjarvard and Winfried Schulz) is stronger at addressing aspects of media textuality, suggesting that a unitary media-based logic is at work. In spite of its apparent vagueness, mediation (developed in particular by Roger Silverstone) provides more flexibility for thinking about the open-ended and dialectical social transformations which, as with the printed book, may come in time to be articulated with the new form of digital storytelling.

Building from recent theoretical work on understanding the workings and implications of multimodal communication, the authors call for a continuing empirical investigation into the roles that digital multimodal texts play in real-world contexts, and they offer one example of how such investigations might be approached. Drawing on data from the practice of multimedia digital storytelling, specifically a piece titled “Lyfe-N-Rhyme,” created by Oakland, California, artist Randy Young (accessible at http://www.oaklanddusty.org/videos.php), the authors detail the method and results of a fine-grained multimodal analysis, revealing semiotic relationships between and among different, copresent modes. It is in these relationships, the authors argue, that the expressive power of multimodality resides.

This article presents seven elements of narrative research that represent the aspects of a narrative study and the criteria that might be used to assess the quality of a narrative project. The article focuses on one phase in narrative data analysis: ”restorying” or “retelling.” By highlighting restorying narrative, researchers can see how an illustrative data set, a science story told by fourth graders about their experiences in their elementary classroom, was applied to two analysis approaches. A comparison of the two narrative approaches, problem-solution and three-dimensional space, shows several common features and distinctions. As narrative researchers decide which approach to use, they might consider whether the story they wish to report is a broader wholistic sketch of the three-dimensional approach or a narrower linear structure of the problem-solution approach.

The conceptual framework blends recent scholarship on narrative, identity, and performance, with an eye towards fostering agency. These cases demonstrate how digital storytelling, in combination with supportive social relationships and opportunities for participation in a community based organization, provided powerful means and motivation for forming and giving voice to agentive selves.

One theory in educational research holds that … Although narrative inquiry has a long intellectual history both in and out of education, it is increasingly used in studies of educational experience. One theory in educational research holds that humans are storytelling organisms who, individually and socially, lead storied lives. Thus, the study of narrative is the study of the ways humans experience the world. This general concept is refined into the view that education and educational research is the construction and reconstruction of personal and social stories; learners, teachers, and researchers are storytellers and characters in their own and other's stories. In this paper we briefly survey forms of narrative inquiry in educational studies and outline certain criteria, methods, and writing forms, which we describe in terms of beginning the story, living the story, and selecting stories to construct and reconstruct narrative plots. Certain risks, dangers, and abuses possible in narrative studies are discussed. We conclude by describing a two-part research agenda for curriculum and teacher studies flowing from stories of experience and narrative inquiry.

For generations we have stored memories in albums, diaries, and shoeboxes to retrieve at a later moment in life. Autobiographical memory, its tools, and its objects are pressing concerns in most people's everyday lives, and recent digital transformation cause many to reflect on the value and meaning of their own "mediated memories." Digital photo cameras, camcorders, and multimedia computers are rapidly replacing analogue equipment, inevitably changing our everyday routines and conventional forms of recollection. How will digital photographs, lifelogs, photoblogs, webcams, or playlists change our personal remembrance of things past? And how will they affect our cultural memory? The main focus of this study is the ways in which (old and new) media technologies shape acts of memory and individual remembrances. This book spotlights familiar objects but addresses the larger issues of how technology penetrates our intimate routines and emotive processes, how it affects the relationship between private and public, memory and experience, self and others.

The essays gathered here address the question of how narrative migrates, mutates, and creates meaning as it is expressed across various media. Dividing the inquiry into five areas: face-to-face narrative, still pictures, moving pictures, music, and digital media, Narrative across Media investigates how the intrinsic properties of the supporting medium shape the form of narrative and affect the narrative experience. Unlike other interdisciplinary approaches to narrative studies, all of which have tended to concentrate on narrative across language-supported fields, this unique collection provides a much-needed analysis of how narrative operates when expressed through visual, gestural, electronic, and musical means. In doing so, the collection redefines the act of storytelling. Although the fields of media and narrative studies have been invigorated by a variety of theoretical approaches, this volume seeks to avoid a dominant theoretical bias by providing instead a collection of concrete studies that inspire a direct look at texts rather than relying on a particular theory of interpretation. A contribution to both narrative and media studies, Narrative across Media is the first attempt to bridge the two disciplines.

Fakat diğer taraftan, akademik literatürde, çağdaş tiyatromuzla ilgili olarak, yazarından yönetmenine, oyuncusundan seyircisine, çalışma yapılmasına karşın, eğitim tarafı zayıf kalmış; özellikle de dramatik yazarlık eğitimi ihmal edilmiştir. Bu çalışma ise şu an yetişmekte olan dramatik yazarlara odaklanmakta ve bu bağlamda Drama Yazarlığı ve Dramaturji Bölümü öğrencilerinin dramatik yazarlık yönelimlerini anlamayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu bağlamda, Kocaeli Üniversitesi Sahne Sanatları Bölümü Drama Yazarlığı ve Dramaturji Anasanat Dalı örneklem olarak seçilmiştir. Araştırma, öğrencilerin temel yönelimleri, dramaturjik yönelimleri, mesleki ve ticari yönelimleri, etik ve iradi yönelimleri, reji ve teknoloji yönelimleri olmak üzere beş bölümden oluşmaktadır. Söz konusu araştırmada anket yöntemine başvurulmuş; kapalı uçlu soru tekniği ve Likert ölçeği bazlı maddelerle karma yapı içinde tasarlanmıştır. Elde edilen veriler, sayısal kodlara dönüştürülerek yüzdelik dilimlere ulaşılmış ve aritmetik ortalama ile veri analizleri gerçekleştirilmiştir.

One hundred and seventy Spanish primary school students participated in storytelling activities using a quasi‐experimental, mixed‐method, and cross‐sectional design. Individual verbal fluency, narrative competence, collaborative story features, and behaviors were analyzed. Results show collaboration positively affects groups' story content balance. Story length increases with social awareness and motivation, although interruptions can prolong narratives without improving quality. The story cohesion increases with social communication and space for everyone. The balance between solved and unsolved story problems improves when groups prioritize task‐oriented collaboration over social interaction. Analogical, tangible, and digital storytelling can support sustained shared thinking in learning, providing students with a space for improving social and narrative skills.

This study aims to develop an Articulate Storyline-based learning media that can be accessed and used flexibly by students anytime and anywhere. Researchers used the type of Research and Development (R&D) research using the Borg and Gall model. This research aims to produce articulate storyline learning media for grade IV elementary schools on the main idea of informative text. The results of the articulate storyline media research obtained very good qualifications declared valid and effective as Indonesian language learning media in elementary schools with a percentage of teacher (90,9%) and student responses (95,4%), as well as (87%) from media experts and (93%) from material experts. It was stated in the T-Test <0.05 with a small-scale N-Gain of 0.60 and a large scale of 0.70 so that the articulate storyline media was declared effective and feasible to support Indonesian language learning to improve the competence of determining the main idea of informative text for grade IV students of SD 1 Ngembal Kulon.

Yy.’ın ilk çeyreği tamamlanırken yeni pazarlama iletişim dili “Dijitalleşme” olmuştur. Dijitalleşme çağının günümüzdeki önemini anlamak için pazarlamanın değişim sürecini de anlamak gerekmektedir. Pazarlamanın temelini oluşturan tüketici ihtiyaç ve tatmini dönemsel olgu ve gerekçelerle değişime uğramıştır. Ürün merkezli birinci sanayi devrimi, yerini tüketici merkezli pazarlama anlayışına bırakmıştır. İnternetin ve dijitalleşmenin hayatımızda daha çok yer aldığı dönemde ise internet tabanlı pazarlama ve dijital pazarlama kavramlarının yükselişi dijital işletme çağını başlatmıştır. İnternetin her ev ve iş yerinde ulaşılabilir hale gelmesi ticari işlemleri kolaylaştırıp hızlandırırken pazarlama bilimi için pazar kavramını da kökten değişikliğe uğratmıştır. İşletmeler artık sadece mağaza veya şube açtığı yeri değil tüm evreni pazarı olarak görmektedir. Dolayısıyla dijital pazarlamayla pazar, artık her yerdir. Pazar yerindeki bu değişim günümüz dijital anlayışına uygun olarak işletmelerin ürettiği ürünleri satarken kullandığı kanalları da farklılaştırmıştır. Dijitalleşmeyi en temel satış elemanı olarak gören işletmeler birçok uygulama kullanarak iş sistemleri entegrasyonunu optimize etmektedirler. Bu uygulamaların başında CRM sistemleri, yapay zekâ ile veri analitiği, nesnelerin interneti (IoT), artırılmış gerçeklik (AR), sanal gerçeklik (VR), otomasyon araçları, omnichannel ve multichannel satış yöntemleri sohbet robotları (chatbotlar), sanal asistanlar, bulut tabanlı çözümler ve mobil uygulamalar kullanarak iş sistemleri entegrasyonunu optimize etmektedirler.

Bu kapsamda çalışmada, öğretmen dijital yeterlik çerçeveleri ve modelleri ile ulusal ve uluslararası alanyazında yer alan öğretmenlerin dijital yeterlikleri konulu bilimsel araştırmalara yer verilmiştir. Böylece bu konuda alanyazındaki eğilimler ve ihtiyaçlar ortaya çıkarılmaya çalışılmıştır. Araştırma bulgularına dayanılarak çıkarımlarda bulunulmuş ve öneriler sunulmuştur. Yapılan incelemelerde, alanyazında öğretmen dijital yeterlikleri konusunda öğretmenlere yol gösterici nitelikte çeşitli çerçeve ve modellerin yer aldığı belirlenmiştir. Bu çerçeve ve modeller vurgulanan özellikler bakımından bazı farklılıklar içerse de bütününde, öğretmenlerin dijital yeterliğinin; bilişsel, duyuşsal ve teknik becerileri, aynı zamanda sorumluluk ve etik farkındalığı içeren karmaşık ve çok boyutlu bir kavram olduğu konusunda ortak bir anlayış vardır. Alanyazındaki bilimsel çalışmaların, öğretmenlerin dijital yeterliklerini belirleme, öğretmenlerin dijital yeterliklerini farklılaştıran değişkenleri inceleme ve ölçek geliştirme çalışmalarına odaklanıldığı görülmektedir. Alanyazın bulguları dikkate alınarak öğretmen dijital yeterliklerinin geliştirilmesine yönelik stratejilerin planlanması önerilmektedir.

This study examines 13 cartoons published in e-publishing unit of The Punch, one of Nigeria's most widely read newspapers, to explore how multiple modes combine to depict herder-farmer conflicts (HFCs), in order to describe how semiotic resources contextualise HFCs and how digital resources function in humorising HFCs in online newspapers. Multimodal discourse exploration of HFCs is performed via Kress' (2010) social semiotic approach to multimodal discourse. Findings reveal that The Punch deploys diverse modes of representation – image, writing, caricature. Interaction among semiotic resources, shared situation and linguistic forms reveals dimensions of insecurity, ethnoreligious bigotry, human rights violation, hypocrisy. Cartoonists are critical of Nigerian government's level of involvement in HFCs, revealing state actors as cohorts in herders' attacks; and sedentary farmers as victims. HCFs are framed as complex sociopolitical crises, intensifying ethnic tensions and divisions.

In elementary school context, English teachers are expected to support students’ learning by incorporating various modes such as linguistic, visual, auditory, gestural, spatial, and tactile approaches. This qualitative study explored the multimodality use in elementary English classes by involving two English teachers from two different schools in Bangkalan, Madura, East Java. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, classroom observation, and document analysis, and were then analyzed using the interactive data analysis method by Miles and Huberman. The findings revealed that both teachers integrated multimodality in their classes, primarily through linguistic modes (e.g. textbooks and worksheet) and visual modes (e.g. images, videos, and Powerpoint slides). However, the reliance on linguistic modes, particularly textbooks, was prominent. The predominant reason was the need to learn required materials within the limited time allocation.

These are short videos created for job applicants to showcase their skills, qualifications, and previous experiences. Nevertheless, the creation of video resumes demands advanced multimodal abilities, involving the coordination of rhetorical conventions and linguistic expertise with other semiotic resources to effectively convey their desired professional image in response to job postings. Intriguingly, despite the growing adoption of video resumes in the global job market, they have received minimal attention from ESP researchers. The objective of this study is to investigate the challenges faced by EFL college students when creating video resumes. This research involves conducting interviews with eight senior EFL students along with examining video productions by 42 students. The results of this study reveal that the primary difficulties encountered by these students include negotiating the projection of professional identity within time limitations, orchestrating multiple modes within their videos, negotiating technical obstacles, and fine-tuning their kinesic abilities. The study also suggests several pedagogical strategies to address these challenges, aiming to empower students in navigating the intricate aspects of video resumes related to branding, multimodality, technical proficiency, and communication.

To a … This study examined the teaching of Graphic Communication and Techniques to senior phase Technology learners. A quantitative research approach was adopted, and a case study design was employed. To a population of 7 teachers and 156 learners in Capricorn District, Limpopo in South Africa, a convenient sample of 13 teachers and 149 learners were used. This study collected data through questionnaires, observations and archive analysis. This study revealed that 76.92% of sampled teachers taught learners different structures using freehand technique and single point perspective, but this had a negative impact on leaners ability to use drawing tools as no teacher attempted to use and encourage learners to draw using adequate set squares. It was interesting to see that only 38.46% of teachers emphasised the need to use different colours in drawings to improve learners spatial and cognitive skills. Some of the leaners activities showed that different colours were used even though the drawings were not correct and appealing. Only 69.23% of teachers taught learners the use of correct line types, sadly learners were not receptive of this emphasis as most of them had drawings which were drawn in bold lines and not neat. In light of the emergent findings, this study recommended that teachers should engage in lesson study approaches with other colleagues teaching Technology in order to strengthen their grasp of learner-centred approaches that are appropriate for teaching graphic communication and techniques.
