To this end, the researcher selected, analyzed and synthesized studies focusing on James Joyce’s A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. The researcher first identified second-order interpretations derived from the PhD dissertations focusing on A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. Then, she used them to construct third-order constructs, and further categorized them around the concept of identity which is regarded as the essential conceptual component of studies in IB language and literature courses. These constructs in the form of lines of arguments were then used to prepare guidelines to inform critical literacy instruction.Item Open Access Teaching the adventures of Huckleberry Finn: a meta-ethnographic study(Bilkent University, 2014) Doğan, NaimeThe purpose of this study is to demonstrate how models of teaching literature, and literary theories could be used to provide lenses and alternative perspectives for analysing and interpreting a number of sources and studies focusing on The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn to inform instructional planning. The study used meta-ethnography, an approach to interpretive synthesis, to synthesise qualitative studies and sources for identifying second-order interpretations around recurring themes and concepts identified by the researcher. To enable interpretation across studies and sources, the researcher used models of teaching literature for developing surface third-order interpretations, and literary theories for generating deeper level third-order interpretations for instructional use.Item Open Access Using Scoopit and curatorial learning cycle for establishing a learning environment within the context of teaching King Lear(Bilkent University, 2014) Orallı, SinemThis study intended to explore how a web 2.0 tool, Scoop.it, could be used to curate and differentiate web-based content within the context of teaching a Shakespearean tragedy, King Lear, and devise a personal and professional learning environment for instructional use. The study also aims to understand how Wolff and Mulholland’s Curatorial Inquiry Learning Cycle could be instrumental in the analysis and interpretation of curated content, within and across types of web-based sources, to inform instructional planning. The researcher focused on the following types of sources: blogs, comics, presentations, videos, trailers, works of art, reviews, podcasts and wikis, and the Curatorial Inquiry Learning Cycle facilitated purposeful and systematic curation of content. Initial curation and analysis of content provided second-order interpretations about each source type around a priori themes of the play. To enable interpretation across source types, the researcher adapted Gustav Freytag’s Pyramid of Dramatic Structure, and provided third-order interpretations for instructional use.
