This book documents those first links that students make between
content they learn in their classrooms and their prior experiences.
Through six late-elementary school case studies these knowledge
construction links are brought to life. The links of the students
are often rich in describing who these individuals are, where they
are in their learning process, and what is meaningful to them. Many
times, these links point to what has been learned, both in and out
of school, and the contexts when and where that learning took
place. The mind as rhizome metaphor was used to guide the
development and interpretation of the studies while the lens of
Peircian semiotics provides an interpretation for these initial
links. The resulting grounded theory is presented through a rich
and extensive presentation of excerpts from classroom observations,
student interviews, and a student writing activity and describes
the varying types of student links, how the links were prompted,
the relationships between what the students were learning and what
they already knew, and specific types of in-school links. The
narrative includes how these links were supported or inhibited in
the classroom drawing on the roles of the teachers in the
classrooms and what constituted authority sources of information in
those classrooms. Before exploring the students' linking as a
process of ongoing semiosis and how this process is part of a
dynamic system, a study of the relationship between student
knowledge links and achievement is shared. This rich narrative will
be of interest to scholars and practitioners alike, and includes an
extensive appendix documenting the research methods.
