Kreisberg on Identity and connection to Oluo and Intersectionality Plus Topic Idea for your paper

Note–now we are working on the skill of synthesis–connecting ideas from 2 or more readings and bringing them together to analyze a subject/theme–and forming your topic idea for your paper which we will now begin working on as the main assignment for this quarter.

Our documented paper will be using these same skills to connect at least 2 of our assigned class readings and at least 5 outside sources that you will research to make an argument/point related to a subject, for example this first theme of identity formation, or intersectionality, or the Prison Pipeline, etc. More details later, but I wanted to explain to you what we are working on and how we are building writing and analysis and synthesis skills as we do these assignments and discussions.

Before midnight on Tuesday July 12

1) Read the following article by Louis Kreisberg related to identity and outside influences and conflicts for identity.
-KreisbergIdentityIssues-1.pdf

2) Then, summarize in your own words one important point you think Kreisberg made related to identity and supply a specific quote from the article with your full framing analysis using Steps for Analysis. Steps for Analysis Reboot (1)-1.pdf

3) Now, connect that idea from Kreisberg that you have just summarized and provided a framed with analysis quote for and then connect that concept to one aspect of one of Oluo’s Chapter 5 on Intersectionality. Explain how they connect and then provide a fully framed quote from the Oluo and explain how it supports the idea and then frame it with your own analysis and critique from Steps.

Online Article Read and Summary

Researchers often measure the success of online learning as students’ perception of learning and course throughput rates. Drop-out rates for online courses range from 20 to 50%, often 10–20% higher than for equivalent contact courses (Bernard, Brauer, Abrami, & Surkes, 2004). Searching for a model to predict student success in online learning, Bernard et al. (2004) found that students’ frame of mind can predict readiness for learning and affect course outcomes, while ‘‘prior achievement is still the best predictor of future achievement’’ (Bernard et al., 2004, p. 44).

Research shows that online participation is necessary to ensure successful course completion (Klemm, 1998; Rovai & Barnum, 2003; Swan, Shea, Fredericksen, Pickett, & Pelz, 2000). Clark and Feldon (2005) concluded that a facilitator who participates and interacts with students prevents them from abandoning their course. Better cognitive outcomes occur when students engage and form a virtual community of learners. The development of a community depends on online interaction with their peers and the facilitator. Learner satisfaction, perseverance, and cognitive outcomes characterize the formation of a virtual learning community. Some contest participation as a prerequisite to learning, claiming students learn sufficiently by observation (Beaudoin, 2002; Sutton, 2001), and lobby for leniency towards lurking or read-only participation. This article responds to Beaudoin’s (2002) article ‘‘Learning or lurking? Tracking the ‘invisible’ online student.’’ He reasoned that students sometimes engage and learn even when not taking part in online discussions with faculty and other students and showed that low profile students:
spend a significant amount of time in learning-related tasks, including logging on, even when not visibly participating, and they feel they are still learning and benefiting from this low-profile approach to their online studies. (p. 147)

We investigated the importance of student online ‘‘visibility’’ apparent in the quantity and quality of participation. We explored as a case study the successful completion of a postgraduate online course by asking the following research questions.
(1) How did online participation relate to learning and successful course completion?
(2) How did participation influence the learning community?
