TAILIEUCHUNG - Assessing Aesthetic Relevance: Children’s Book Selection in a Digital Library

Furthermore, the explanatory scope of TSC sometimes is misunder- stood as stopping short at the boundaries of the physical body, leaving embeddedness out of the account. However, the main unit of the analysis of cognition arguably is the on-going interaction between the embodied agent and the context of action. An adequate description of bodily-based experience should begin in the agent’s relationship to the surroundings, because experience arises from the interaction between agent and context.

Some researchers have suggested that supporting children s strategies for book selection is crucial to encouraging children to engage with books indicating that improving these strategies might increase the amount of reading they do. In response this study explores how elementary-school children select books for recreational reading using a digital library. The work extends traditional models of relevance assessment with reader-response theory employing the concept of aesthetic relevance the potential of a document to provide a suitable reading experience. Individuals define aesthetic relevance in personal terms and apply it as they assess documents much as they do in traditional relevance assessment. This study identified a total of 46 factors organized along seven dimensions that influence children s assessment of the aesthetic relevance of books during selection. The analysis yielded differences in the prevalence of the aesthetic-relevance factors that children mention at various stages of book selection. In addition the children exhibited differences by age and subtle differences by gender in the frequency of mention of various aesthetic-relevance factors. Recommendations drawn from the findings are offered to improve systems design and literacy education in order to enhance children s access to books and to promote recreational reading.
