Studies have documented a striking rise in income inequality and opportunity gaps in young children’s access to literacy. Recognizing the need, this study examines the local laundromat as an organizational broker and how specially designed spaces within this setting may support children’s literacy-related activities in under-served neighborhoods. Three laundromats in neighborhoods were examined. This year-long study examined changes in children’s activities resulting from the design changes alone, and subsequent changes when trusted messengers from the neighborhood supported their culturally and linguistically diverse traditions. The results suggest that everyday spaces in neighborhoods can serve as cultural niches that become important sites for learning. Full article

In the last decade data-based decision making has been promoted to stimulate school improvement and student learning. However, many teachers struggle with one or more elements of data-based decision making, as they are often not data literate. In this exploratory study, professional learning networks are presented as a way to provide access to data literacy that is not available in schools. Through interviews with scientific experts (n = 14), professional learning networks are shown to contribute to data-based decision making in four ways: (1) by regulating motivation and emotions throughout the process, (2) by encouraging cooperation by sharing different perspectives and experiences, (3) increasing collaboration to solve complex educational problems, and (4) encouraging both inward and outward brokering of knowledge. The experts interviewed have varying experiences on whether professional learning networks should have a homogenous and heterogenous composition, the degree of involvement of the school leaders, and which competencies a facilitator needs to facilitate the process of data-based decision making in a professional learning network.

Placing online academic networks in the framework of social, cultural and institutional “deterritorialization,” the current paper aims at investigating the functionality of these new forms of transnational and trans-organizational aggregations as knowledge brokers. The emphasis is laid on the influence of human collective intelligence and consistent knowledge flows on research innovation, considering the role of organizational support within higher education systems. In this respect, the research relied on a questionnaire-based survey with 140 academics from European emerging countries, the data collected being processed via a partial least squares structural equation modelling technique. Evidence was brought that, as knowledge brokers, online academic networks are systems aimed to support the access to human collective intelligence and consistent knowledge flows which exert a positive influence on research innovation, both directly and indirectly, by means of formal and informal organizational support. As facilitators of collaborative environments for individuals with specialized knowledge, competence, expertise and experience, online academic networks have set themselves up as an agora for academics worldwide and as an outlet for their acumen and literacy.

In Brazil, as in much of the academic world, there is an increasing acknowledgement among scholars that their chances of having their research noticed by a geographically diverse scientific community increase when that research is communicated in English. At the same time, much like the majority of the world, the first language of Brazil is not English, which raises one question that heretofore has not been addressed in the context of that country: How do Brazilian scholars write their research articles in English? That question drove the initial phase of the exploratory study described in the present paper, and it is one that also led the authors to discover that one key agent in the publishing process in Brazilian academia is the dissertation/thesis supervisor. Questionnaire and interview data collected from students and supervisors at a Brazilian university suggest that student and lecturer alike see the need and value of specialized writing guidance, yet neither party seems to ascribe the role of “literacy broker” (a person who contributes to the development of a text intended for publication) to the thesis supervisor in any specific way. Pedagogical implications and directions for future research are discussed. Full article
