Bilingual Children's Writing: Evidence of Active Learning in Social Context.
Quintero, Elizabeth; Huerta-Macias, Ana
Journal of Research in Childhood Education, v9 n2 p157-65 Spr-Sum 1995
Examined the relationship between literacy development and sociocultural aspects. Identified some cognitive processes in biliteracy acquisition through categorizing children's work according to Piaget's active learner categories that show learners constructing knowledge for different purposes. Results suggest that these cognitive processes are interwoven into the sociocultural development of each child, individually and as members of a family, school, and community. (AA)
