The need for improved student achievement in writing is well-documented across all grades and scores continue to show slow gains. The evidence is clear that one way to improve student achievement is to increase engagement. Engaged students not only do better in school, but think of themselves as better students and are perceived by others, including their teachers, to be more successful. This study looks at a writing program based on the use of metaphor, and measures changes in student engagement before and after the writing lesson. It also looks at the writing produced by the students to determine how well they learned to write with metaphor and whether their writing evidenced use of well-developed metaphor, such as container and orientation metaphors. Conducted with two fifth-grade classes, the study uses quantitative and qualitative methods. The results indicated that the students overall did not show significant increases in engagement after the lesson. However, between the two classes, some differences did emerge. The study further examines whether students learned to use metaphoric concepts in their writing, and if the ability to write metaphorically differed by gender or class achievement.

Metaphors for, in and of Education Research draws on a variety of philosophical, theoretical and methodological approaches exploring metaphors as instruments for describing, understanding and inspiring education research. Key themes addressed by authors in this collection include: how metaphors provide new understandings of the philosophical assumptions underlying education research; how metaphors provide new perspectives on methodological issues in education research; and how metaphors evoke cognitive, affective and volitional responses to the experience of conducting or participating in education research. The book includes chapters written by academics with experience in various education sectors including middle, high school and tertiary education. Areas of academic expertise include doctoral study, literacy and learning, special education, educational partnerships and leadership, and applied linguistics.

The field of deaf studies, language, and education has grown dramatically over the past forty years. From work on the linguistics of sign language and parent-child interactions to analyses of school placement and the the mapping of brain function in deaf individuals, research across a range of disciplines has greatly expanded not just our knowledge of deafness and the deaf, but also the very origins of language, social interaction, and thinking. In this updated edition of the landmark original volume, a range of international experts present a comprehensive overview of the field of deaf studies, language, and education. Written for students, practitioners, and researchers, The Oxford Handbook of Deaf Studies, Language, and Education, Volume 1, is a uniquely ambitious work that has altered both the theoretical and applied landscapes. Pairing practical information with detailed analyses of what works, why, and for whom-all while banishing the paternalism that once dogged the field-this first of two volumes features specially-commissioned, updated essays on topics including: language and language development, hearing and speech perception, education, literacy, cognition, and the complex cultural, social, and psychological issues associated with deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals. The range of these topics shows the current state of research and identifies the opportunites and challenges that lie ahead. Combining historical background, research, and strategies for teaching and service provision, the two-volume Oxford Handbook of Deaf Studies, Language, and Education stands as the benchmark reference work in the field of deaf studies.
