KPS is an Australian initiative advanced by such researchers as Chris Bigum, Colin Lankshear, and Michael Knobel. Purpose/Objective/Research Question/Focus of Study We examine the epistemology and the theory of new literacy that KPS scholars put forth, which we strongly endorse, and address a lack of attention to embodiment and the emotions that KPS epistemology would seem to require. Our article is devoted to addressing this omission, which we frequently find in other approaches to literacy studies as well. Research Design We call on the philosophy of Deweyan pragmatism to provide a friendly critique and reconstruction of KPS epistemology. In doing so, we will rely on the perspective of Deweyan pragmatism supplemented by some of the insights of pragmatist feminism. Conclusions/Recommendations In our reconstruction of KPS, we offer a Deweyan performance epistemology ...

Like experiential education, ee-learning places great emphasis on learner participation in authentic tasks. Indeed, experiential education models now being adapted for ee-learning, such as service-learning (Chisholm 2007) and knowledge-building paradigms (Philip 2007), place learner participation and reflection at the center of pedagogical practice. Nevertheless, such models are often vague in defining the specific role of learner participation in the processes of knowled...

Further, I argue that cognitive apprenticeship is necessary to “help students map their own dialectics into thinking about their future practice as educators.” I share the integral elements of the cognitive apprenticeship undertaken in the course: “three prongs of foundational thinking,” four key conceptual frames for neoliberal deconstruction and associated foundational readings, and two representative assignments to illustrate the type of scaffolding offered to help education students move past naïve and complacent interpretations of current corporate reforms. My reflections rely on my teaching experience, in-class observations, assessment of students' work, and overarching themes in how students' have responded to the topic.
