My purpose in this research is to examine the way in which the two sexes are presented in school textbooks. The incentive for pursuing my research was my own experience of using school textbooks and the observation of everyday reality. Until the present time research in Greece regarding the image of the two sexes has been limited to the primary school reading-scheme books. With this study I intend to give a detailed picture of the beliefs about sex roles as these are presented through the whole range of school textbooks. My ambition is that my work - in combination with other similar studies - will help instructors to comprehend and point out the traditional standard beliefs about the two sexes depicted in the textbooks which are used on a daily basis in schools in Greece. This research could sensitise instructors and simultaneously help them to be aware of and recognise the stereotype beliefs in the books they use. In this way they will be able, with the appropriate interventions and discussions, to consider their validity in relation to the children they teach. The present study is presented in 14 chapters. It is divided into two parts. The first part deals with the wide theoretical-work related to socialisation and the sex roles (Chapters 1-2). The third chapter discusses the agents of sex role socialisation (the family, peer groups, media, school). The fourth chapter studies the woman's professional role. Chapter 5 includes a brief description of the Greek educational system and an examination of a girl's place within it. The sixth deals with books as a factor in the configuration of the sex role. Chapter 7 includes a review of the related studies. The second part of the thesis includes the main body of the study, the methodology (chapter 8), the analysis of the results (chapters 9-13) and finally the conclusions and suggestions (chapter 14). Chapters 9-13 have their own separate bibliographies to facilitate reference for readers interested in one particular curriculum area.

The diploma theses focus on Media pedagogy as a field of study. It analyzes the educational frameworks for primary and secondary schools which focuses on topic of media. By this it analyzes the possibilities of education for Czech teachers and feature educators. The result is the intersection between requirements of frameworks and current educational possibilities for teachers. Firstly it describes topics that are covered by czech educational systém described in educational frameworks, then it analyzes topics that suppose to be covered but are not provided by current offer of courses. The topics that are demanded by the frameworks are compared with possibilities introduced by foreign universities. By that it introduces programs and subjects that can be an inspiration for czech educational systém. The intersection provies key subjects and topics that can be helpful as a proposal of new college degree Media pedagogy which could prepare czech media education teachers for their subject. Provided structure reflects current demands introduced by frameworks as well as modern didactics in the field of media education and trends in media studies.

This thesis explores the ways in which discourses of citizenship are circulated and incorporated into the practice of non-formal educational filmmaking initiatives for young people in London. I utilise an ethnographic approach focusing on young participants, adult facilitators and funders to demonstrate how youth filmmaking facilitates an exploration of abstract conceptions of citizenship with the on-the-ground reality of young peoples’ “practice” as citizens. To provide context for this material, I present both a theoretical overview of the heady yet labile term “citizenship” and a historical narrative of youth filmmaking, particularly in its relationship to wider political economies of funding and youth policy. Although discourses of citizenship in youth filmmaking have changed subtly over time, the youth filmmaking programmes considered here marshal three central conceptions of citizenship; “engagement,” “empowerment” and “belonging.” To explore each of these notions, I draw on case studies to show how these citizenship discourses become operationalised. First, I consider the Reelhood project for young Muslims, which aimed at encouraging “political engagement.” I demonstrate how young people challenge notions of “disengagement” and operate as “justice-oriented” citizens, in contradistinction to the premise of the funding source itself. Second, I use the example of the This is My Story project, amongst other films that dealt with youth violence, to explore discourses of “empowerment.” Using the metaphor of the “shot/reverse shot” sequence, I demonstrate how youth filmmaking projects situate themselves as an alternative to the representation of young people in mainstream press. Finally, I describe the River Lea project in which the sensory and technological processes of filmmaking became a means for young people to “focus in” and attune their sensory and perceptive faculties to the experience of “place-making.” Each of these case studies exhibits how the creative, social and technical processes of filmmaking provide a challenge to or re-interpretation of citizenship discourse.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Mônica Rebeca Brandão Alves.pdf: 638989 bytes, checksum: 71f78c9f4289212ecd0e31276ced3f7b (MD5) Previous issue date: 2016-09-15 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / This research, part of the Project Direct- aims at analyzing and comparing the newspapers Folha de S. Paulo and O Estado de S. Paulo focusing on the news that discuss education, in order to understand how it is represented in the media discourse. We considered this topic relevant, once education is part of formation, transformation and development of society. Specifically, its main objective is to analyze and compare 157 texts, 76 from O Estado de S. Paulo and 81 from Folha de S. Paulo, both published between February 2013 and February 2014. The theoretical background is the Systemic Functional grammar (1994, 2004), taking into account the language in use, considering its context, processes, participants and circumstances presented in the texts. This research is important for a better understanding of representation of education in Brazil. In order to understand how education is represented in the media, we tried to answer the following question: How is education represented in the media taking into account the teachers and the students? Corpus linguistics was the main methodological tool, through the computational program Wordsmith Tools (Scott, 1999). Our objective is to show, considering the choices made on the news, how education is seen by the Brazilian media / Este trabalho, inserido na linha de pesquisa Linguagem e trabalho, tem o objetivo de analisar e comparar textos dos Jornais Folha de São Paulo e O Estado de S. Paulo que tematizam e tratam de questões relativas à educação, a fim de compreender como ela é representada na mídia. Esta pesquisa é relevante, dado o papel que a educação exerce na formação, transformação e desenvolvimento de uma sociedade Particularmente, visamos analisar e comparar 157 textos, sendo 76 retirados do O Estado de S. Paulo e 81 da Folha de São Paulo coletados durante o período de Fevereiro de 2013 a Fevereiro de 2014. Para tanto, assumimos como base teórica a Linguística Sistêmico Funcional (Halliday, 1994/2004), uma vez que a teoria permite analisar a função da linguagem em uso, por meio do levantamento do contexto sócio histórico dos jornais, dos processos, participantes e circunstâncias configurados nos textos. O trabalho é importante para a melhor apreensão das representações que os textos apresentam sobre a educação no Brasil. A pergunta que norteia a pesquisa é: Como a educação é representada na mídia a partir do ponto de vista dos professores e dos estudantes? O programa computacional WordSmith Tools (Scott, 1999) é utilizado como instrumento metodológico. Pretendemos com este trabalho mostrar, partindo das escolhas lexicais, como a educação é vista pela mídia brasileira
