Toward a Social Constructivist Reconceptualization of Intrinsic Motivation for Literacy Learning.
Oldfather, Penny; Dahl, Karin
Journal of Reading Behavior, v26 n2 p139-58 1994
Critiques current understandings of children's motivation for literacy learning, and argues for a reconceptualization of motivation that centers on the learner as agent in the social construction of meaning. Uses vignettes and examples from studies conducted in whole-language classrooms to investigate children's perspectives of their own literacy learning processes and their constructs of themselves as readers and writers.
