In the intersections between media and education: Teachers’ practices and factors associated with developing students’ media literacy in secondary schools

Priscila Berger

Ilmenau: Technische Universität Ilmenau, Doctoral Thesis (2023), xiv, 124 pp.

"Policies and guidelines at different levels officially involve schools in promoting media education. In this regard, the responsibility for putting media education initiatives and guidelines into practice is mainly on the teachers. However, little is known about under what circumstances young peopl ... e tend to rely on teachers to develop media competencies and how the variance in teachers’ engagement in media education can be explained. The present work seeks to verify what factors are associated with students’ learning of media-related aspects from teachers and teachers’ efforts in developing students’ media-related competencies. The framework adopted in the empirical work consists of three main aspects. First, it refers to concepts of media pedagogy and educommunication to address teachers’ practices involving media. These practices correspond to the interplay of fostering students’ media competencies with using media use for instruction and mediating students’ media use. Second, it addresses the variety of media-related competencies prescribed in media and digital literacy guidelines. Finally, based on previous research in the field, the framework includes contextual and individual characteristics as influencing factors of media education practices. The first study approaches teachers’ role as media educators. This study explores the characteristics of students, schools, and countries that are associated with the incidence of learning computer and information competencies primarily from teachers. Therefore, data from 14 participant countries in the 2013 International Computer and Information Literacy Study were analyzed with a three-level regression model. The findings show that the most significant predictors are at the individual’s level, as gender, access to ICTs at home, parental socioeconomic conditions, and self-efficacy concerning ICT yield positive associations with recognizing teachers as primary digital mentors. The schools’ characteristics do not show significant associations. At the country level, ICT Development Index associates negatively and significantly with students’ relying on teachers to develop computer and information competencies. The second study focuses on content taught in media education at school, accounting for the comprehensiveness of topics and competencies that are part of media literacy frameworks. The goal is to identify aspects that favor and disfavor teachers’ practice of media education integrated into traditional school subjects. With linear regression analysis, models including teachers’ and schools’ characteristics are tested to predict the fostering of different areas of media competence and the mediation of opportunities and risks in students’ media use. Therefore, data collected from secondary teachers in the Thuringia State, Germany, in a project in which the author was involved were analyzed. The series of analyses conducted reflect the process of model development. Considering all models tested to predict teaching of different areas of media competence, the positive and strong associations with ICT use and perceived importance of the competence area are a constant. However, how teachers evaluate the ICT available at their school does not usually play a role. Moreover, it became clear that media education has less room in Gymnasium schools than in other school types, and most competence areas tend to be fostered in non-STEM subjects. The third study addresses the use of ICTs to foster students’ media-related competencies. The associations between teaching with and teaching about media in the data collected from teachers in Thuringia are tested through exploratory structural equation modeling. Therefore, the fostering of different media competence areas and the use of various types of ICT are considered. Moreover, their associations are tested, controlling for schools’ and teachers’ traits. The results show that teachers’ use of computer laboratories and basic computer programs with their students predicts all four competence areas positively and strongly. The use of mobile devices and online applications in class yield significant associations with fostering information competence. Conversely, using presentation and visualization ICTs does not seem to be involved in activities promoting media literacy. The effects of training, collaboration, and satisfaction with the school’s ICT observed in the regression analyses of the second study are confirmed. The findings presented can contribute to refining the discussions about media education in the academic, political, and educational spheres. To consolidate media education in schools, it is pertinent to consider teachers’ different practices involving media, the several dimensions of media literacy competences, and the variety of ICTs that may be used in classes. These dimensions should be integrated into teachers’ training so that they get solid preparation to practice media education and develop an awareness of the extent of their role as media educators."

¿Cómo cubrir la crisis carcelaria en Ecuador? Guía práctica para periodistas

Quito: Periodistas Sin Cadenas (2023), 30 pp.

"[...] El acercamiento a los familiares de las Personas Privadas de la Libertad (PPL) resulta primordial para obtener una comprensión integral de la realidad en el interior de los centros carcelarios del país. Sin embargo, es importante destacar que el ejercicio de visibilizar sus voces demanda em ... patía y sensibilidad social, sobre todo en un momento en el que se ha generado desconfianza en la prensa. De acuerdo con Bessy Granja, “tienen miedo y decepción porque al final siempre nos enfocamos en que en las cárceles se matan entre todos”. Hay que recordar siempre que tanto los funcionarios, como los familiares de los PPL y los mismos PPL son fuentes. Es decir, que el vínculo que se establece con ellos debe ser el de periodista y fuente y no más allá de eso. La relación debe mantenerse siempre en el marco de lo profesional y los periodistas debemos ser siempre transparentes sobre nuestras intenciones y objetivos para comunicarnos con ellos. De este modo, estaremos protegiendo nuestra integridad y trabajo. Es importante que los y las periodistas se replanteen la manera en la que se realiza el acercamiento con los familiares de las PPL, generando espacios seguros en que los testimonios, desde la empatía y la sensibilidad. De acuerdo con Granja, muchos de los familiares no confían en la prensa porque sienten que la forma en la que han sido retratados ellos y sus seres queridos que están dentro de prisión ha sido revictimizante o estigmatizante. Dar protagonismo a las PPL, de igual forma que se consideran a las fuentes oficiales. Para Noroña, “que ellas y ellos hablen en las historias es fundamental. Que esas voces sean visibilizadas permite humanizar y tener una perspectiva de primera mano, porque permite romper con el imaginario social”. Cuando se muestran historias de PPL y sus familias, hacerlo desde el respeto. Esto aplica no solo para las historias en texto, sino también para el contenido fotográfico, audiovisual y multimedia que generen los periodistas. En el caso de que una fuente solicite el anonimato, esto debe respetarse, no solamente guardando la identidad de la fuente, sino que en el caso de retratos y video, ocultando el rostro o cualquier rasgo identificable de esa persona. Asimismo, se recomienda que los titulares y la información que se maneje no sea sensacionalista o amarillista, que se respete el dolor de los protagonistas buscando no revictimizarlos y que la información esté libre de estigmas y prejuicios. Contar historias en positivo, para comenzar a humanizar. Por ejemplo, narrar sobre las personas que están tratando de cambiar las realidades desde adentro de las prisiones."
