CONTACT CURRICULUM RESEARCH WORKSHOPS ... COURSES Instructional Practices In Media Literacy Education And Their Impact On Students' Learning By Renee Hobbs and Richard Frost New Jersey Journal of Communication Abstract This study reports the findings of qualitative and quantitative research designed to assess the impact of different types of instructional practices involving media literacy education across the curriculum. Teachers in a small school district participated in a staff development program in media literacy and developed unique approaches for integrating media literacy concepts into language arts, history, math and science at the ninth grade level. The work of four different teams of ninth grade teachers is described by examining the instructional practices, motivations and philosophy behind teachers' application of media literacy concepts into the curriculum. In the United States, despite all the rhetoric, most school-based media literacy initiatives have been based on the efforts of a single teacher in a school or district, working alone. It has generally been difficult to sustain district-level or even school-wide initiatives in media literacy over time. A history of the first phase of implementing "critical viewing skills" instruction in the 1980s revealed that only four school districts in the United States had attempted to develop media literacy skills education (Brown, 1991), and most evaluation models examined the program outcomes on very small numbers of students, usually a single classroom (Anderson, 1980). In the late 1990s, the authors are aware of only a handful of new district-wide initiatives in Massachusetts, Minnesota, Michigan, and New Mexico. Research on media literacy continues to be constrained with so few large-scale implementations available for observation and evaluation.

Role of Traditional and Modern Media in Awareness Building and Setting for Adult Literacy Mihir Ghosh Dastidar The Teheran Conference Report of 1965 stated that no literacy campaign should be started unless and until there has been provision for adequate, appropriate and accessible materials for follow-up practices by neo-literates. The Expert Team on Evaluation of Experimental Literacy Project said, "For literacy to be effective and lasting, it must be sustained by an infrastructure that not only provides literates with abundant reading matter but also maintains their taste for reading and broadens their horizon" (UNESCO/tJNI:)P. 1976). In other words, follow-through for post-literacy does not mean merely to reinforce literacy techniques by providing reading materials but to create an environment that encourages individuals to act effectively as literates in daily life and to react critically to their understanding of reality. The Persipolis (1976) Declaration pointed the way, stating that literacy is a fundamental human right that contributes to human liberation and full development. In April 1977, UNESCO Experts on Post Literacy stated: By post-literacy we understand all measures taken to enable the neo-literate to put into practice the skills acquired and to increase the knowledge obtained during the previous stage. Thus he will be able to go beyond what he has learned and to use his new knowledge; and above all, by learning how to learn and how to make decisions, take an active part in the continuing process of development and mastery of his environment.

EDO-CS-00-03 July 2000 Media Literacy Prepared by: Mardziah Hayati Abdullah ERIC Clearinghouse on Reading, English, and Communication Digest #152 Children today are growing up in what O'Sullivan, Dutton and Rayner (1998) call a "media saturated" world, in which mass media, including the Internet, have a commanding presence in daily life. Media messages exert such powerful "social, emotional and intellectual influences" (Hepburn, 1999) that it is important to develop a society which understands how media can both serve and deceive. It is thus imperative for educators to teach what Megee (1997) calls "the new basic"- media literacy - so that learners can be producers of effective media messages as well as "critical consumers of ideas and information" (Rafferty, 1999). What is media literacy? Based on definitions provided by conferees at the Annenberg School for Communication (cited in Megee, 1997) and by the Canadian Ministry of Education, media literacy (ML) may be thought of as the ability to critically understand, question and evaluate how media work and produce meaning, how they are organized, how they mediate and construct reality, and how they impact our lives. ML may include the ability to create media products. Fulton (1998) discusses technology-related competencies and curriculum standards defined by various states that may be applied to ML education. Among the six "essential learnings" Illinois desires for its students are the ability to seek and navigate information, to communicate effectively using appropriate technology, and to be responsible citizens in a technological age. Thus, in addition to teaching the technical aspects of handling various media equipment, ML is concerned with helping learners become informed users of media messages.

Teacher Newsmagazine Volume 16, Number 3, January/February 2004 Report spotlights need for media literacy by Dan Blake W hich of the following statements do you think are true? The Simpsons is the most popular TV show for both boys and girls of all ages. For both boys and girls, reading for pleasure decreases consistently with age. Forty-eight percent of children have their own TV set, and 35% have their own VCR. In Grades 3 to 6, roughly 30% of kids claim they never have any adult input about what TV shows they can watch. One of the most interesting findings in the report, "Almost 60% of boys in Grades 3–6 play video or computer games almost every day; even in Grade 10, 38% of boys chart it as a daily activity. For girls, the picture is very different: 33% of Grade 3 girls play interactive games every day; by Grade 10, the figure has dropped to 6%." Those findings have important implications for teachers. Although most of the popular video games have little redeeming value, boys become more comfortable in using computers as a result of playing video games and are thus likely to have better careers in the computer industry. Although the CTF report does not mention it, girls in my secondary school classes spend a lot more time using computers for "instant messaging" with their friends than boys do. That is consistent with the report findings that older girls prefer social activities over the more solitary game playing boys favour. In response to survey questions, boys speak of enjoying the competitive aspect of game playing. Boys say they like to win.

After conducting its study, the Study Group compiled a report. The Study Group examined the concept of media literacy, the ability to function in the media society, and proposed a course of action to improve media literacy based upon research into overseas and domestic studies on this issue. Based on the course of action set out in the report, MPT will support the media literacy development of educational materials to aid in the spread of media literacy and is planning to publicize these policies to relevant organizations.

Facts and Figures Thursday 11 November 2004 Improving Literacy For Boys In Schools "Literacy teaching needs to be real, relevant and radical if it is to capture the imaginations of today's students, particularly boys," says Victoria Clay, Assistant Manager of the Boys in Schools program at the University of Newcastle. Recent research indicates that boys' motivation and engagement in literacy activities can be increased through the use of the multiliteracies. These are the new literacy skills that are used to look at graphics, use the computer, or follow instructions in manuals. "Surveying a class to find out not only what boys' interests are, but also how they use literacy skills to further their outside interests can be very revealing," says Ms Clay. "Many of the literacy skills that boys use outside school, for instance those related to information and computer technologies, are not readily assessed. Boys have many skills but teachers are not tapping into them and evidence shows that current literacy teaching methods are more likely to appeal to girls' preferred learning styles rather than boys."

Being media smart is sometimes called media literacy , and it means you can access, understand, analyze, evaluate, and create media messages on television, the Internet and other outlets. Those skills can help us interpret the many messages we daily receive from these sources—by applying the same critical-thinking skills used in reading and writing to other forms of media. Americans get most of our news and other information from the electronic media. Yet until recently, children have not been taught how to thoughtfully examine media messages. Fortunately, media literacy is now part of the curricular frameworks in all 50 states. Explore the links below to get an overview of the key concepts of media literacy, along with ideas for using those concepts with your students.
