Transformative Learning in a Mexican American Mothers' Book Club
Ochoa, Pablo F.; Quiroa, Ruth E.
Reading Teacher, v74 n1 p19-28 Jul-Aug 2020
In this qualitative case study, the authors explored the responses of seven Mexican American mothers during a bilingual (Spanish-English) parent book club with a chapter book from their children's elementary school literacy curriculum. The authors sought to better understand the findings of a previous study in which parents expressed new learning during comprehension-related activities. Specifically, the authors examined how these women came to better understand their identities as literate individuals capable of assisting peers and their children's literacy learning. Analysis of interviews and book club session transcripts, written and artistic artifacts, and researcher reflective journal entries revealed that during reflective dialogue, participants assumed all of Brooks and Browne's (2012) homeplace reader positions (ethnic group, community, family, and peers) and the additional positions of empowerment and action.
