Counting and comparing school performance: an analysis of media coverage of PISA in Australia, 2000–2014     

Aspa Baroutsis  Bob Lingard 《教育政策杂志》2017,32(4):432-449

This paper empirically documents media portrayals of Australia’s performance on the Program for the International Student Assessment (PISA), 2000–2014. We analyse newspaper articles from two national and eight metropolitan newspapers. This analysis demonstrates increased media coverage of PISA over the period in question. Our research data were analysed using ‘framing theory’, documenting how the media frames stories about Australia’s performance on PISA. Three frames were identified: counts and comparisons; criticisms; and contexts. Most of the media coverage (41%) was concerned with the first frame, counts and comparisons, which analysed PISA data to provide ‘evidence’ that was then used to comparatively position Australia against other countries, reference societies, which do better, with particular emphasis on Finland and also Shanghai after the 2009 PISA. The other two frames dealt with criticisms and contextual issues. This paper only focuses on the first frame. The analysis demonstrates the ways in which media coverage of Australia’s PISA performance has had policy impact.  相似文献   

Searching for the public: school funding and shifting meanings of ‘the public’ in Australian education     

Jessica Gerrard  Glenn C. Savage  Kate O’Connor 《教育政策杂志》2017,32(4):503-519

School funding is a principal site of policy reform and contestation in the context of broad global shifts towards private- and market-based funding models. These shifts are transforming not only how schools are funded but also the meanings and practices of public education: that is, shifts in what is ‘public’ about schooling. In this paper, we examine the ways in which different articulations of ‘the public’ are brought to bear in contemporary debates surrounding school funding. Taking the Australian Review of Funding for Schooling (the Gonski Report) as our case, we analyse the policy report and its subsequent media coverage to consider what meanings are made concerning the ‘publicness’ of schooling. Our analysis reveals three broad themes of debate in the report and related media coverage: (1) the primacy of ‘procedural politics’ (i.e. the political imperatives and processes associated with public policy negotiations in the Australian federation); (2) changing relations between what is considered public and private; and (3) a connection of government schooling to concerns surrounding equity and a ‘public in need’. We suggest these three themes contour the debates and understandings that surround the ‘publicness’ of education generally, and school funding more specifically.  相似文献   

Film scenes in interdisciplinary education: teaching the Internet of Things*     

Young-mee Hwang  Kwang-sun Kim  Tami Im 《Educational Media International》2017,54(2):83-98

The Internet of Things (IoT) is gaining importance in education owing to its rapid development. This study addresses the importance of interdisciplinary education between technology and the humanities. The use of films as a teaching resource is suitable for interdisciplinary education because films represent creative forecasts and predictions on future human society, helping the public realize what could occur in the future. By utilizing films in instruction, students can be trained to understand the three key functions of IoT and acquire the ability to develop creative applications of IoT. An IoT teaching model using the films Minority Report (2002), Big Hero 6 (2014), Iron Man 3 (2013), Her (2013), and Transcendence (2014), all of which depict various applications of IoT that could be helpful in the teaching of the functions and concepts of IoT, is suggested; an interdisciplinary class is carried out for 15 weeks following the model. The effectiveness of the class is measured using quantitative analysis, qualitative analysis, and reflection journals. The findings show that students developed interdisciplinary capacity through education using films.  相似文献   

Civic rhythms in an informal,media-rich learning program     

Ty Hollett  Christian Ehret 《Learning, Media and Technology》2017,42(4):483-499

Increasingly, adult mentors in informal, media-rich settings, like libraries and museums, seek to integrate both learning and civic engagement opportunities for youth into designed programming. This article illustrates how youth open and sustain opportunities for civic engagement over the course of a six-month, youth-driven program – Metro: Building Blocks (MBB) – housed within a digital media learning lab in an urban public library. Analysis develops the concept of civic rhythms as a means to feel out the social and affective contours of civic engagement that emerge in MBB. To better understand the civic rhythms of MBB, analysis focuses specifically on three rhythmic elements: pulsation, reciprocation, and oscillation. The article concludes suggesting that future research develop principles for designing-in-time that assist researchers and mentors in attuning to the youth-driven rhythms that sustain informal, media-rich programs.  相似文献   

What was out of the frame? A dialogic look at youth media production in a cultural diversity and educational context in Chile     

Andrea Valdivia 《Learning, Media and Technology》2017,42(1):112-125

This article accounts for an experience of digital storytelling workshops with indigenous adolescents in Chile, and proposes a theoretical and methodological approach to analyze digital creations with a dialogic and ethnographic point of view. Based on this, it discusses the possibilities of digital media production as a strategy for the self-expression of children and adolescents, particularly immersed in unequal and ethnically diverse educational contexts. The specific case of two Mapuche girls reveals complex ways of organizing and positioning their voices, where ‘girl power’ and ‘post-girl power’ discourses are relevant, but not so their ethnicity. The results show that television, with its main audiovisual genres, styles and stereotypes, appears clearly on the teenagers’ creations, while the absence of Mapuche signs along the creation process and also into the digital stories seems to be related with two important features of the Chilean educational system: ethnic inequalities and its fierce attachment to neoliberalism.  相似文献   

利用大众传媒促进社会主义新农村文化建设   总被引：6，自引：0，他引：6  

邹华华 《郧阳师范高等专科学校学报》2006,26(5):87-90

“社会主义新农村建设”的内涵不仅是要发展农村经济．更要同步建设新农村文化，改变当前广大农民群众文化生活的匮乏现状，从而保证农村经济的持久发展和农村社会的和谐进步。在新农村文化建设中，相比较其他方式，大众传媒具有无可比拟的优势。然而，目前大众传媒对农村的信息传播严重不足．各级政府以及媒体应采取措施利用大众传媒促进新农村文化建设，加强政策引导，建设农村公益性媒体．综合各类型媒体构建农村复合型网状传播结构，对农传播的媒体内容和形式要切实贴近“三农”。  相似文献

Teaching databases in compliance with the European dimension of higher education: Best practices for better competences     

M. Mercedes Martínez-González  Gérald Duffing 《Education and Information Technologies》2007,12(4):211-228

The Convergence process in which European Union (EU) universities are at present involved supposes that these institutions not only have to re-structure their degree programmes, but also their teaching and learning methodologies. We study the impact of this EU process on Database teaching, comparing the practices of three different European universities and using the Convergence goals as criteria. In our discussion, we identify which aspects in each university are closer to the Convergence goals, and which are likely to help in achieving these goals.  相似文献

通过对近年来新闻传播学界使用频率较高的＂媒介事件＂、＂伪事件＂、＂奇观＂和＂新闻策划＂等概念的内涵及其使用进行学理的梳理和辨析,认为这些概念之间具有一定的相通性,可以从两种理论范式的角度来理解：（一）真实事件→媒介化→媒介事件;（二）媒介化的动机→导演事件→媒介化→媒介事件.  相似文献
