The ‘Four Resources Model’ is the most relevant model for addressing the needs of 21st century literacy learners.
The ‘Four Resources Model’ was developed by Luke & Freebody, in 1999. It is a literacy model which is divided into four distinct parts, which are not learnt in an heiherigary nor separate order, but developed and mastered alongside each other. Throughout the teachings of the model’s four segments, 21st century students are able to develop a range of skills, resources and knowledge that they need to access in order to be literate in today’s world (Victorian State Government, 2014). This is the best literacy model in comparison to Transactional, Reader Response, and Skills Model, as the ‘Four Resources Model’ combines these multiple …show more content…
This is when students make literate and inferential meanings of various text modes (Victorian State Government, 2014). Students are able to draw on their knowledge of the text and out-of-text (background or experience) knowledge (McDowall, 2010). Students make their own assumptions to construct meaning of the text by evaluating and making choices about what context the text is written in (McDowall, 2010). The student therefore becomes the meaning maker; reading to understand, and deciphering language and clues from the illustrations, or visual features (Queen’s Printer for Ontarios, 2005). Educators can support and develop students meaning maker skills by: posing questions to their students to address literal and inferential interpretation of the text, discuss a text from a different point of view, and before reading a text, access prior knowledge with the use of a schema (Queen’s Printer for Ontarios, 2005). Schema is concept by J. Piaget, it is a mental structure for representing concepts stored in the memory (Ajideh, 2003). Schemas are used to “brain storm”, key-words or key concepts that the educator suggests before reading a set-text that the key-word is based around. It allows students to bring their own prior knowledge and opinions to a certain issue in the text (Ajideh, 2003). Schema’s allow students to make connections by comparing their own personal experience, and knowledge, and therefore students …show more content…
Students are able to develop the skills needed to interpret the multi-modal world around them, understand that text is heavily loaded with a variety of different opinions, and what text is implying. The ‘Four Resources Model’ encourages not only reading skills, but reading and writing to have authentic context and purpose, enables students to develop their knowledge, and bring meaning from their background and experience (Seely Flint, Kitson, Lowe, & Shaw, 2014). Students are also able to use their critical thinking purposely which allows them to develop creative, innovative, and adaptable skills which will help them respond to the demands of living in a complex 21st century (Australian Curriculum, Assessment, and Reporting Authority,
