Book    A Sociological Study of Patterns of Televiewing

Download or read book A Sociological Study of Patterns of Televiewing written by Dr. BABAN M. CHOUDHARI (Researcher) and published by mukul burghate. This book was released on with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the past decade, the number of television receivers per home has skyrocketed, with many children each having a TV set in their bedroom. Through cable and satellite access, families have a choice of a hundred or more channels, most broadcasting twenty-four hours a day. The videotape recorder has enabled viewers to delay watching or to rewatch television programs at any time and thereby shift the traditional viewing hours to virtually any time of the day. The research studies directed at these phenomena have confirmed, however, that little effect has been seen in children’s viewing habits. There was simply more of the same programming fare and it was available through a broader time frame. The distribution of television sets into various areas of the home and the less traditional hours of availability have, if anything, reduced the opportunities for parental coviewing and control. The V-chip was predicted to enhance the ability of parents to exercise such control, but appears to have been a failure with many parents not even aware of the existence of such a device.

Book Women  Television and Everyday Life in Korea

Download or read book Women Television and Everyday Life in Korea written by Youna Kim and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-07-26 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fusing audience research and ethnography, the book presents a compelling account of women’s changing lives and identities in relation to the impact of the most popular media culture in everyday life: television. Within the historically-specific social conditions of Korean modernity, Youna Kim analyzes how Korean women of varying age and class group cope with the new environment of changing economical structure and social relations. The book argues that television is an important resource for women, stimulating them to research their own lives and identities. Youna Kim reveals Korean women as creative, energetic and critical audiences in their responses to evolving modernity and the impact of the West. Based on original empirical research, the book explores the hopes, aspirations, frustrations and dilemmas of Korean women as they try to cope with life beyond traditional grounds. Going beyond the traditional Anglo-American view of media and culture, this text will appeal to students and scholars of both Korean area studies and media and communications studies.

Download or read book Thinking and Literacy written by Carolyn N. Hedley and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-11-05 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explores higher level, critical, and creative thinking, as well as reflective decision making and problem solving -- what teachers should emphasize when teaching literacy across the curriculum. Focusing on how to encourage learners to become independent thinking, learning, and communicating participants in home, school, and community environments, this book is concerned with integrated learning in a curriculum of inclusion. It emphasizes how to provide a curriculum for students where they are socially interactive, personally reflective, and academically informed. Contributors are authorities on such topics as cognition and learning, classroom climates, knowledge bases of the curriculum, the use of technology, strategic reading and learning, imagery and analogy as a source of creative thinking, the nature of motivation, the affective domain in learning, cognitive apprenticeships, conceptual development across the disciplines, thinking through the use of literature, the impact of the media on thinking, the nature of the new classroom, developing the ability to read words, the bilingual, multicultural learner, crosscultural literacy, and reaching the special learner. The applications of higher level thought to classroom contexts and materials are provided, so that experienced teacher educators, and psychologists are able to implement some of the abstractions that are frequently dealt with in texts on cognition. Theoretical constructs are grounded in educational experience, giving the volume a practical dimension. Finally, appropriate concerns regarding the new media, hypertext, bilingualism, and multiculturalism as they reflect variation in cognitive experience within the contexts of learning are presented.
