"Jag är så gammal att jag känner om det är något skumt" : En kvalitativt intervjustudie om äldres kunskap och källkritik i sociala medierLarsson-Auna, Fanny, Nordberg, Zanna January 2022 (has links)
Vårt samhälle blir alltmer digitaliserat och för generationer födda innan internets intågande i hemmen har inte användandet av internet och sociala medier alltid varit en självklarhet. Därför undersöker denna studie hur sociala och personliga aspekter hos svenska personer över 70 år påverkar motivation och attityd i användandet av sociala medier, hur de upplever sin digitala kunskap, hur de upplever att de förhåller sig källkritiskt till information på sociala medier och om de sprider informationen vidare. Studien använde sig av teorier om digitala klyftor, mediekompetens, falsk information och källkritik och genomfördes genom kvalitativa intervjuer. Resultatet visade att sociala aspekter har stor betydelse för deltagarnas motivation och attityd i användandet av sociala medier och att deltagarna upplever brister i sin digitala kunskap, men att få ville vidareutveckla den. De flesta upplever att de tänker källkritiskt kring information som de anser är av viktigt och om den inte bedöms vara viktig kontrolleras den inte. Deltagarna i denna studie anser sig inte sprida information från sociala medier i någon större utsträckning. / Our society is becoming increasingly digital and for generations born before the Internet became an integrated part of peoples home the use of the internet and social media has not always been an obvious part of daily life. Therefore, this study examines how social and personal aspects affect motivation and attitude in the use of social media in Swedish people over the age of 70, how they experience their digital literacy, how source critical they experience themselves to be towards information on social media and whether they are spreading the information to others. The study used theories of digital divide, media literacy, misinformation and source criticism and was conducted through qualitative interviews. The results showed that social aspects are of great importance for the participants' motivation and attitude in the use of social media and that the participants experienced shortcomings in their digital literacy, but few wanted to further develop it. Most of them experience that they think critically about information that they consider to be important and if it is not deemed to be important, it is not checked. The participants in this study do not consider themselves disseminating information from social media to any great extent.

An exploratory study on new technology and associated psychosocial risks in adolescents : can digital media literacy programmes make a differenceVan der Merwe, Petro 11 1900 (has links)
This study centres on the psychological effects new digital media, like the internet and cellphones, have on adolescents. Although the internet has enormous benefits, it also poses a host of risks that can make adolescents vulnerable to victimisation and/or developing associated psychosocial problems. Characterisations of adolescents’ social relationships in the internet medium, as well as the investigation of the continuity between digital media literacy and online social behaviours, carry high relevance for developmental psychology. It is during the adolescent period that peer interactions arguably hold the greatest importance for individuals’ social and behavioural functioning.
Using a logic model for evaluation, the researcher conducted an exploratory research study on digital media use among adolescent learners aged 13 to 15 years to determine whether schools could guide them to think critically for themselves about the entire realm of these new media. The data were gathered from school principals, teachers, parents and learners from three secondary schools in Gauteng Province, which were purposely selected to represent different socio-economic circumstances. A total of 230 people (n=230) participated in the research. Mixed research methods were employed in this study. The quantitative research methods supported the qualitative research methods.
The literature review suggested that current media literacy education, which forms part of the Life Orientation curriculum, does not enable learners to think critically or make informed choices about their behaviour in the digital world – because it incorporates neither ethics nor responsibility. One of the main aims of the study therefore was to investigate the importance of expanding existing media literacy education, namely by incorporating two additional learning categories in the curriculum: Digital Safety and Security, and Digital Citizenship.
These additional learning categories were introduced in the form of lessons by the teachers participating in the study. A think aloud strategy was used whereby learners verbalise what they were doing and learning while engaging in the digital media literacy lesson activities. The learners’ verbalisations were used to ascertain what learning was occurring in the classroom.
The experimental group demonstrated an increase in critical thinking from pre- to post-evaluation.
This research therefore proposes that the signature element of intervention strategies for inappropriate online behaviour be to create a “culture of critical thinking”. This implies greatly reducing the risks cyberspace pose, and at the same time enhancing adolescents’ abilities to use it in ways that create and deepen healthy relationships – in the digital as well as the real world. / Psychology / D.

Juxtaposing Sonare and Videre Midst Curricular Spaces: Negotiating Muslim, Female Identities in the Discursive Spaces of Schooling and Visual Media CulturesWatt, Diane P. 09 May 2011 (has links)
Muslims have the starring role in the mass media’s curriculum on otherness, which circulates in-between local and global contexts to powerfully constitute subjectivities. This study inquires into what it is like to be a female, Muslim student in Ontario, in this post 9/11 discursive context. Seven young Muslim women share stories of their high schooling experiences and their sense of identity in interviews and focus group sessions. They also respond to images of Muslim females in the print media, offering perspectives on the intersections of visual media discourses with their lived experience. This interdisciplinary project draws from cultural studies, postcolonial feminist theory, and post-reconceptualist curriculum theorizing. Working with auto/ethno/graphy, my own subjectivity is also brought into the study to trouble researcher-as-knower and acknowledge that personal histories are implicated in larger social, cultural, and historical processes. Using bricolage, I compose a hybrid text with multiple layers of meaning by juxtapositing theory, image, and narrative, leaving spaces for the reader’s own biography to become entangled with what is emerging in the text. Issues raised include veiling obsession, Islamophobia, absences in the school curriculum, and mass media as curriculum. Muslim females navigate a complex discursive terrain and their identity negotiations are varied. These include creating Muslim spaces in their schools, wearing hijab to assert their Muslim identity, and downplaying their religious identity at school. I argue for the need to engage students and teacher candidates in complicated conversations on difference via auto/ethno/graphy, pedagogies of tension, and epistemologies of doubt. Educators and researchers might also consider the possibilities of linking visual media literacy with social justice issues.

The approaches that foundation phase grade 3 teachers use to promote effective literacy teaching : a case studyLawrence, Jeanette Wilhelmina 02 1900 (has links)
The changing role of literacy in primary education, with its emphasis on the acknowledgement of the
learner’s values, beliefs, culture, background and language is the focus of this study.
The research was concerned with understanding the literacy practices of Foundation Phase Grade 3
teachers who are able to intentionally promote and mediate literacy acquisition among their learners.
A qualitative design was used to describe the approaches of effective literacy teachers.
The research study discovered that while the teachers made use of a number of teaching methods
that underpinned a de-contextualised and constructivist approach, a socio-cultural approach to
literacy was lacking. The results call for a broadening of the definition of literacy; one that
acknowledges the socio-cultural background of the learners in developing a literacy disposition that
prepares learners for a changing world. / Educational Studies / M. Ed. (Didactics)
