This diploma thesis deals with the involvement of the cross-curricular theme of media education in the Czech language teaching. The first part defines the basic concepts of media literacy and media education and describes their development and concepts in education. It also deals with the form of media education in curricular documents, especially in the framework educational programme, and the characteristics of the thematic areas of the cross-curricular theme of media education involved in this document. Subsequently, it deals with the possibilities of media education realization and with the use of textbooks and other methodological and teaching materials and projects. In the second part of the thesis, the school education programmes of three selected grammar schools are analysed, on the basis of data obtained by own qualitative research, by answers of respondents from semi-structured interviews and by specific teaching situations. The aim of the research part is to provide information on the implementation of media education and on the state of the relevant cross-curricular topic integration into teaching at selected grammar schools. The focus of concern is also whether the topics defined in the Framework Educational Programme for Grammar Schools are fulfilled in media education.

La recherche documentée dans ce mémoire de thèse de doctorat entend proposer une voie complémentaire à l'éducation aux médias telle qu'elle se pratique actuellement dans les établissements d'enseignement du secondaire et du supérieur. Pour ce faire, nous avons exploré la piste d'un champ théorique et pratique, d'origine anglo-saxonne et germanique, que l'on nomme Archéologie des media. Il s'est agi de proposer un cadre théorique interdisciplinaire incluant cette discipline afin d'en proposer une première transposition didactique, mise en œuvre à travers des ateliers et des dispositifs originaux. Leur conception et leur évaluation, appuyées sur une méthodologie de recherche orientée par la conception, ont été au cœur de ce travail. / This research aims to explore alternative ways to practice media education as we do in middle school, hight school and university. It explores an original field, recently discovered in France, called media archaeology. In this work, we have built a theorical and multidisciplinary frame including media archaeology in order to propose, for the first time, its didactic transposition for secondary education. Thus, we conveived and evaluated workshops, helped by a design-based research methodology.

'Changing mindsets' is about how teachers are engaging with ‘visual literacy’ — the practices involved in understanding and creating visual texts. The concept of ‘visual literacy’, like other ‘new’ literacies, has arisen in response to changing communication practices in developed, capitalist societies like Australia. This study addresses the ways in which teachers in primary schools are engaging with the visual literacy initiative in the context of the new arts syllabus (Years 1-10) in Queensland. Using a broadly poststructural approach, this thesis explored the changing mindsets implied by this curriculum initiative from three perspectives. The concept of ‘preservation of self’ (Nias, 1987, 1993) was used to examine the personal dimension of change; the concept of ‘trendy theory’ (Goodson, 1988, 1994, 1997) addressed the social and political agendas that drive curriculum reform; while the concept of ‘multimodality’ (Kress, 2000a, 2000b, 2003a, 2003b) drew attention to the cultural values ascribed to different modes of communication. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 26 primary teachers from 11 government schools in a regional centre in 2002. The discourse analysis method was used to analyse the data resulting from these interviews. The data showed that the official discourses featured in the new arts syllabus did not match the discourses used by practising teachers. Although there was some recognition of the significance of the visual mode, most teachers in this study were not aware of ‘visual literacy’. Significantly, the agency exercised by teachers in curriculum reform was shaped not only by their personal identities, but also by the levels of support that they experienced in their working environments. These findings have crucial implications for policy-makers in implementing curriculum change, particularly in the context of the new arts syllabus.

It is difficult to deny the ubiquitous nature of our mediated landscape in the United States. With the plethora of mediated messages come media related risks for children. Training in media literacy is one way to combat these risks. Unfortunately, most American public school media literacy standards are in need of improvement. This project examines how media literacy functions in American K-12 public schools. It not only applies a standard of assessment for media literacy standards, but also provides a synopsis of the range of advanced to poor programs across the country. Then, suggestions for improving lacking programs are revealed in a case study on Texas’ advanced media literacy program.

Titel: Media Literacy - En studie om mediepedagogik i forskning och empiri Författare: Kristin Nilsson, Sofia Ridal Antal sidor: 52 Abstract: In the society of today we are constantly exposed to media messages, and much research investigate people’s interest in the media. Whatever theory we choose to believe in, the facts remain: today the media is a major part of all people’s lives. During our teacher training we have encountered the concepts Media Literacy and Media Education and as future pedagogues of media we are interested in what research can tell us about them. The main aim of this paper was to find out what researchers write about Media Literacy and Media Education and to empirically investigate whether or not teachers in the Swedish secondary school teach about, with and for media. It also aimed to learn what attitudes, thoughts and reflections these teachers have concerning media and learning in school. For these reasons, we decided to begin by conducting a profound research of the state of the art. Secondly, we accomplished qualitative interviews with a total of eight teachers from two secondary schools in a Swedish town. The results of the interviews show that a majority of the teachers who were interviewed, the informants, mainly used media technology as a teaching aid – they taught with media. Furthermore, the results reveal that some of the informants saw the media as something quite frightening, unserious and difficult to understand. By contrast, we found an underlying tendency that the informants had a positive attitude towards media education in schools, and that they were somewhat curious (and eager) to learn more about it.

There is a growing body of research on the ways in which people process and organize political information. However, these studies have focused almost exclusively on textual analysis at a time when people are turning to more visually oriented media in increasing numbers. While researchers have failed to account for this trend, political organizations have quickly adapted and begun to use visual media to their advantage for political messaging. This study examines people’s ability to perceive bias in visual representations of political information. Through a series of surveys and one-on-one interviews, I found that participants exhibited significant confirmation bias in their assessments of visual information. This effect was particularly strong in participants’ initial assessment of each example. The results reveal two potential paths to increasing awareness of bias in visual information. First, basic training in visual design could encourage more thorough examination of new information and result in increased awareness of bias. Second, illustrating the effects of confirmation bias could encourage viewers to pause and reassess their initial reaction to information, again resulting in increased awareness of bias. With these two hypotheses in mind, I have created an interactive guide that teaches basic elements of visual design, such as size and color, and then illustrates the effects of cognitive biases on assessment of information.

We aimed at developing a literacy project carried out with a group of 24 students from the 9th grade in a public school of Campina Grande. It started from the assumption that the participating students were immature regarding the television media, so we wanted to contribute for the formation of more critical readers, acting with the perspective of the social use of reading and writing. Therefore, we proposed the discussion and the production of two television news programs of different profiles, based on local TV news of greatest interest from the participating students, namely: "JPB", aired by Paraíba TV, an affiliate of Rede Globo; "A Patrulha da Cidade" aired by Borborema TV, SBT affiliate; and "Correio Verdade", aired by Correio TV, Rede Record affiliated. The study was based on authors such as Fischer (2006), Prado (2005), Setton (2011), Tinoco (2008) and Belloni (2012), involving field discussions of media-education and the pedagogy of projects, specifically literacy projects, considering the need of approaching the subject in schools and the range of utilization possibilities that favor the construction of knowledge related to students’ experience inside and outside the school environment. As a result, it is possible to do the following highlights: 1) students involved have shown progress in looking at the television, questioning the content presented by it, understanding the messages conveyed, from a different perspective, questioning the impartiality, the objectives, the target audience and the language used by the programs, paying attention to the interests of each; 2) the teacher is an indispensable professional in the intermediation of the learning process, with the use of media; 3) media-education is a valid choice when one intends to promote learning situations based on the actual use of reading and writing, i.e., with and through the use of literacy projects. The work with media-education is becoming more popular in classrooms, but much remains to be done, if the goal is to make sense of learning beyond the school environment. / Estudo de natureza qualitativa, com caráter descritivo e intervencionista, também classificado como pesquisa-ação que se fez no âmbito da prática docente. Teve por objetivo o desenvolvimento de um projeto de letramento realizado com um grupo de 24 estudantes do 9º ano de uma escola estadual do município de Campina Grande. Partiu do pressuposto de que os alunos participantes eram imaturos frente à mídia televisiva, por isso, pretendia contribuir para a formação de leitores mais críticos, atuando na perspectiva do uso social da leitura e da escrita. Para tanto, propusemos a discussão e a produção de dois telejornais de perfis distintos, baseados em telejornais locais de maior interesse dos alunos participantes, a saber: “JPB”, veiculado pela TV Paraíba, afiliada da Rede Globo; “A Patrulha da Cidade”, veiculado pela TV Borborema, afiliada do SBT; e “Correio Verdade”, veiculado pela TV Correio, afiliada da Rede Record. O estudo se fundamentou em autores como Fischer (2006), Prado (2005), Setton (2011), Tinoco (2008) e Belloni (2012), entre outros, envolvendo discussões do campo da mídia-educação e da pedagogia de projetos, mais especificamente de projetos de letramento, considerando a necessidade de abordagem do tema nas escolas e o leque de possibilidades de aproveitamento que propiciam na construção de conhecimentos relacionados à vivência dos estudantes dentro e fora do espaço escolar. Como resultados, é possível fazer os seguintes destaques: 1) os alunos envolvidos demonstraram progressos no olhar para a televisão, questionando os conteúdos por ela apresentados, entendendo as mensagens veiculadas, sob uma perspectiva diferente, pondo em questão a imparcialidade, os objetivos, o público-alvo e a linguagem utilizada pelos programas, atentando para os interesses de cada um; 2) o professor é um profissional indispensável na intermediação do processo de aprendizagem, a partir do uso de mídias; 3) a mídia-educação é uma escolha válida, quando há pretensão de promover situações de aprendizagem baseadas no uso real da leitura e da escrita, ou seja, com e através de projetos de letramento. O trabalho, a partir da mídia-educação, vem ganhando espaço nas salas de aula, mas ainda há muito a ser feito, se o objetivo for dar sentido a aprendizagens para além do ambiente escolar.

Este trabalho aborda a Biologia da CogniÃÃo, reconhecendo que viver à conhecer, e conhecer à viver, e apoiando com isso a construÃÃo do conhecimento na ontoepistemogÃnese. A EducomunicaÃÃo (Media Education) imerge como concepÃÃo pedagÃgica corroborada pelas vivÃncias dos conhecimentos atravÃs de aulas passeios, entrevistas, aulas expositivas e pesquisas. Nesta concepÃÃo pedagÃgica, educandos e educador constroem significados de seus conhecimentos na autonomia da ressignificaÃÃo do currÃculo, como agente ativo dentro dos processos disciplinares escolares. Portanto, como produzir conhecimento em ciÃncias biolÃgicas atravÃs de prÃticas educomunicativas em ecossistemas de redes interativas? Deve-se promover um aprendizado construÃdo da participaÃÃo e autoria dos alunos nas mÃdias sociais, focando no ensino de biologia e suas relaÃÃes com o cotidiano do aluno. TambÃm à necessÃrio construir um perfil no Facebook para a interatividade e compartilhamento de informaÃÃes produzidas pelos alunos e professores, bem como executar aulas expositivas e de campo para que o educando faÃa as relaÃÃes do conhecimento disciplinar com as observaÃÃes in loco dos conhecimentos no ambiente natural. Este trabalho, ocorrido na Escola de Ensino MÃdio Padre Rodolfo F. da Cunha, assumiu uma tendÃncia pedagÃgica progressista com princÃpios libertador e libertÃrio. Foi utilizada uma abordagem qualitativa, com procedimentos de uma pesquisa-aÃÃo, em que associado ao Grupo Focal, como tÃcnica de coleta de dados, realizou-se uma autoreflexÃo coletiva das prÃticas educacionais, como tambÃm o entendimento dessas prÃticas e das situaÃÃes onde essas prÃticas aconteceram, de forma colaborativa. As coletas de dados aconteceram nos ecossistemas presenciais e on-line, com entrevistas, memorandos e caderno de campo, que foram analisados, gerando leituras para as categorias de anÃlises, interpretaÃÃes e conclusÃes do trabalho. As atividades educomunicativas realizadas e publicadas no Facebook surgiram carregadas de sentimentos relativos a aprendizagem da biologia em redes colaborativas, e com os processos pedagÃgicos e ambientes onde essas prÃticas acontecem. Logo, tambÃm interferiram nos processos de aprendizagem. Portanto, foi possÃvel constatar que quando hà acoplamento dos conhecimentos curriculares disciplinares com os conhecimentos e afazeres locais, com as prÃticas pedagÃgicas educomunicativas, e quando ocorrem colaborativamente, estes conhecimentos adquirem valores que se agregam numa perspectiva de transformaÃÃo pessoal e social, de mobilizaÃÃes presenciais e on-line. / This paper addresses the Biology of Cognition, recognizing that life is to know, and knowing is live, and supporting it with the construction of knowledge in ontoepistemogÃnese. The Educational Communication (Media Education) immerses as instructional design supported by the experiences of knowledge by riding lessons, interviews, lectures and research. In this pedagogical concept, students and educators construct meaning from their knowledge in the autonomy of the curriculum reframing, as an active agent within the school disciplinary proceedings. So, how to produce knowledge in biological sciences through educomunicativas practices in interactive networks ecosystems? One should promote learning built the participation and ownership of students in social media, focusing on teaching biology and its relations with the everyday student. It is also necessary to build a Facebook profile for interactivity and sharing of information produced by students and teachers as well as perform exhibition and field classes that the student make the relations of disciplinary knowledge with on-site observations of knowledge in the natural environment. This work, which took place at the School of High School Father Rodolfo F. da Cunha, took a progressive pedagogical trend with liberating and libertarian principles. A qualitative approach was used, with procedures of an action research in that associated with the Focus Group, as data collection technique was held a collective self-reflection of educational practices, as well as the understanding of these practices and situations where such practices happened, collaboratively. Data collection took place in the presence ecosystems and online, with interviews, memos and field notes, which were analyzed, generating readings for the categories of analysis, interpretations and conclusions. The educomunicativas activities and posted on Facebook emerged laden with feelings about the biology of learning in collaborative networks, and the pedagogical processes and environments where these practices occur. Then they also interfere with the learning process. Therefore, it was found that when there is coupling of disciplinary curricular knowledge with local knowledge and tasks, with the educomunicativas teaching practices, and when they occur collaboratively, this knowledge acquire values that are added in the interests of personal and social transformation, in-person demonstrations and online.
