Download or read book Exploring Secondary Teachers Embodiments and Practices of Critical Media Literacy During the COVID 19 Pandemic in California written by Andrea Lorraine Gambino and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The COVID-19 pandemic caused many educational stakeholders to rethink the purpose and function of public education. The COVID-19 mediasphere and politically divided climate has ushered legislative stakeholders and the public's attention to the need for media literacy education. Critical media literacy addresses the goals of media literacy education but also offers an explicit focus on addressing the relationships between audiences and media, information, and power. Because critical media literacy emphasizes challenging how power maps onto information and reproduces injustice, it requires an embodied stance that dissents against hierarchical forms of education and hegemonic systems, structures, and ideologies. Critical media literacy necessitates an embodied critical engagement (ways of being) with the world and critical pedagogical practices (ways of doing) at the classroom-level (Vasquez et al., 2019, p. 300). While there has been growing interest in the field of critical media literacy in the United States during the pandemic, more research is needed with practitioners to understand what shapes their critical embodiments and practices of critical media literacy. This critical qualitative collective case study examined four secondary teachers' embodiments and practices of critical media literacy during the COVID-19 pandemic in California. Two questions informed this study: 1) How do teachers describe their embodiments (ways of being) in relation to critical media literacy?, and 2) How do teachers' practice (ways of doing) critical media literacy in their classrooms?. Building from Kellner and Share's (2019) multiperspectival approach, this research was guided by several critical social theories, including: cultural studies, democratic inquiry-based pedagogy, critical pedagogy, and intersectionality. Data collection included: qualitative semi-structured interviews and artifacts (e.g., teachers' lesson plans, student work samples, etc.). Data was analyzed through two rounds of coding: in vivo and axial. Findings indicated that teachers' embodiments of critical media literacy were influenced by their journeys to criticality and rooted in transformative worldviews. Teachers' practices of critical media literacy relied on co-constructing safe and critical communities and scaffolding critical media analysis and production. This research study establishes a starting point for subsequent critical media literacy education research, theory, practice, and policy by providing examples of teachers' embodied perspectives and practices.
Download or read book Critical Media Literacy written by Ghada Sfeir and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The implementation of critical media literacy in the curriculum has been advocated mainly to construct and deconstruct knowledge, to empower students to counter the threat of pleasurable but insidious hegemonic messages, ideological misrepresentation of reality, racist portrayals of minorities, and so forth. The purpose of this study is to promote a new approach to critical media literacy in adult education. It examines the proposition that critical media literacy, particularly through the use of films, can be a vehicle for transformative learning towards social and emotional competence in everyday relationships, in the workplace, in the family and in the communities where we live. Therefore, the thesis explores the theory of Transformative Learning, the construct of social and emotional intelligence and the literature on critical media literacy to set the theoretical and practical background for this study. Based on the review of the literature, intersections among these three educational domains are delineated. The study ends with a discussion of scenes from the movies Crash (Haggis, 2005) and Revolutionary Road (Mendes, 2008) as exemplars for the implementation of the proposed approach to critical media literacy in adult learning contexts, including classrooms.
Download or read book Technology and Democracy Toward A Critical Theory of Digital Technologies Technopolitics and Technocapitalism written by Douglas Kellner and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-10-06 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As we enter a new millennium, it is clear that we are in the midst of one of the most dramatic technological revolutions in history that is changing everything from the ways that we work, communicate, participate in politics, and spend our leisure time. The technological revolution centers on computer, information, communication, and multimedia technologies, is often interpreted as the beginnings of a knowledge or information society, and therefore ascribes technologies a central role in every aspect of life. This Great Transformation poses tremendous challenges to critical social theorists, citizens, and educators to rethink their basic tenets, to deploy the media in creative and productive ways, and to restructure the workplace, social institutions, and schooling to respond constructively and progressively to the technological and social changes that we are now experiencing.

Download or read book Transformative Media Pedagogies written by Paul Mihailidis and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-09-23 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring the concept of individual and collective transformation as the underlying driver for media pedagogy, this book offers valuable insights and practical strategies for implementing transformative media pedagogies across learning environments and civic ecosystems. Each chapter takes the form of critical and reflective writing on specific processes and practices that emerged from contributors' experiences of participating in the Salzburg Academy on Media and Global Change, an experimental and immersive transformational media pedagogy project born in 2007, and continuing to this day. Together, contributors examine media pedagogies that prioritize value constructions like human connection, care, imagination, and agency, all of which collectively support a transformative approach to learning. While this book takes into account media pedagogies that focus on competencies and skills, its priority is to reveal and offer learning pathways that develop media makers and storytellers focused on positive social impact in the world. This book will be of interest to any media educators, researchers, practitioners, and entrepreneurs seeking to implement transformative media pedagogies that support equitable and just civic futures.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Drawing on Christine Sleeter's review of research on the academic and social impact of ethnic studies commissioned by the National Education Association, this book will examine the value and forms of teaching and researching ethnic studies. The book employs a diverse conceptual framework, including critical pedagogy, anti-racism, Afrocentrism, Indigeneity, youth participatory action research, and critical multicultural education. The book provides cases of classroom teachers to 'illustrate what such conceptual framework look like when enacted in the classroom, as well as tensions that spring from them within school bureaucracies driven by neoliberalism.' Sleeter and Zavala will also outline ways to conduct research for 'investigating both learning and broader impacts of ethnic research used for liberatory ends'"--
Download or read book Critical Media Literacy and Fake News in Post Truth America written by Christian Z. Goering and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2018-04-16 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited collection is not a response to the 2016 United States Presidential Election so much as it is a response to the issues highlighted through that single event and since when incredibly smart, sophisticated, and intelligent members of our society were confused by misinformation campaigns. While media literacy and critical media literacy are ideas with long histories in formal education, including K-12 students and higher education, the need for increased attention to these issues has never reached a flash point like the present. The essays collected here are confrontations of post-truth, fake news, mainstream media, and traditional approaches to formal schooling. But there are no simple answers or quick fixes. Critical media literacy, we argue here, may well be the only thing between a free people and their freedom.

PRAISE FOR THE HANDBOOK OF TRANSFORMATIVE LEARNING "This book will be of inestimable value to students and scholars of learning irrespective of whether or not their emphasis is on transformative learning. It should find its way to the reference bookshelves of every academic library focusing on education, teaching, learning, or the care professions." PETER JARVIS, professor of continuing education, University of Surrey "Can there be a coherent theory of transformative learning? Perhaps. This handbook goes a long way to answering this question by offering a kaleidoscope of perspectives, including non-Western, that consider the meaning and practice of transformative learning." SHAUNA BUTTERWICK, associate professor, University of British Columbia "This handbook will be valuable and accessible to both scholars and practitioners who are new to the study of adult education and transformative learning and to more seasoned scholars who seek a sophisticated analysis of the state of transformative learning thirty years after Mezirow first shared his version of a then-fledgling theory of adult learning." JOVITA ROSS-GORDON, professor and program coordinator, MA in Adult Education, Texas State University

Download or read book Educational Leadership and Critical Theory written by Charles L. Lowery and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2023-11-16 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book shows how critical theory can help school leaders and administrators to prepare students for the ever-changing political, cultural, economic, and societal conditions of the world. The contributors use ideas from critical theorists including Adorno, Fromm, Marcuse and Habermas and connect them with contemporary theories and debates in educational leadership from moral education to critical theories on race, to culturally relevant practice. Educational Leadership and Critical Theory challenges the misconceptions of many present-day educators about the analytical lens offered by the Frankfurt School theorists which is often dismissed by policymakers and practitioners. Written by leading scholars based in the UK, USA, and Canada, the contributors emphasize and explain the importance of educational aesthetics, dialectics, education and civilization, the structural transformation of education's place in the public sphere, and education as revolution and enlightenment.
