Abstract
A longitudinal study was implemented in two children’s and young adult literature courses at different universities where teacher educators investigated pre- and in-service teachers’ engagement with graphic novel texts and potential for utilization of these texts in K-12 settings. Teacher educators utilized an action research methodology where they designed curriculum around ways to support pre- and in-service teachers’ engagement with graphic novels and their application in K-12 settings. Findings revealed shifts in perception among pre- and in-service teachers as well as shifts in implementation of graphic novels in K-12 classroom settings. Given their multimodality and diversity, graphic novels have the potential to provide readers with numerous layers of meaning making (Sipe, 2008). The authors provide implications for how teacher educators and K-12 teachers can play an essential role in utilizing this widely recognized literary medium for 21st century learners.
