LUDOLITERACY Informe sobre la alfabetización mediática en el juego digital. Experiencias en Europa

El informe que a continuación presentamos recoge 18 experiencias, proyectos, actividades,investigaciones o políticas más significativas que se realizan en Europa relacionadas con la alfabetización mediática en el contexto de los videojuegos (ludoliteracy). La ludoliteracy tiene como finalidad potenciar las capacidades y competencias analíticas, reflexivas y creativas alrededor del juego digital. Se trata, en conjunto, de propuestas que permiten al ciudadano (joven o adulto, profesional o usuario) y a la sociedad en general ser más conscientes de nuestros propios placeres, tener capacidad crítica y competencia creativa en el campo específico de los juegos digitales.El objetivo final del informe es ofrecer recomendaciones en un campo socialmente controvertido y económicamente situado a la cabeza de las industrias culturales pero institucionalmente emplazado en los márgenes de las políticas educativas estatales y europeas.

Nettikoulussa – Opettajien käsityksiä nettikasvatuksesta ja nuorten nettikulttuurista

Tutkimuksessa kuvataan opettajien käsityksiä nettikasvatuksesta ja nuorten nettikulttuurista. Tehtävänä on kuvata kuuden opettajan näkemyksiä nuorten nettimaailmasta sekä oppilaan, että kasvattajan näkökulmasta. Tutkimus on lähtökohdiltaan kvalitatiivinen. Tutkimuksen metodologisena viitekehyksenä käytetään fenomenografista lähestymistapaa. Tutkimuksen tulosten mukaan opettajien käsitykset nuorten nettikulttuurista olivat hyvin moninaiset. Opettajien käsityksiä nuorten nettikulttuurista kuvasti vahva huoli nuorten arvoista ja suhteestaan mediakriittisyyteen. Nettikulttuuriin liittyen huolenaiheena olivat myös nuorten nettiriippuvuus, sekä huoli liikunnan vähentymisestä. Nämä aiheet heijastuivat vahvasti opettajien omiin nuoruudenajan kokemuksiin nuorisokulttuurista. Toisaalta internet ja sosiaalinen media nähtiin mahdollistavana, yhdistävänä tekijänä, joka heijastui koulun arkeen nuorten avoimuutena ja kokemusten jakamisena. Opettajien käsityksissä heijastui myös kulttuurin kokonaisvaltaisuus; miten Internet ja sosiaalinen media syö kulttuurin itseensä, kun kaikki toiminta siirtyy verkkoon. Nettikasvatuksen opettajat kokivat olevan hyvin harkinnanvaraista ja riippuvan omasta kiinnostuksesta aihetta kohtaan. Nettikasvattajina opettajat kokivat tärkeäksi mediakasvatuksen ja kriittisen tiedon etsinnän taidot. Vastuu ja sen jakaminen olivat merkittävä tekijä opettajien puhuessa nettikasvatuksestaan ja roolistaan siinä. Opettajat eivät halunneet mennä kodin tehtävien edelle, mutta rajan määrittäminen oli haasteellista. Vastavuoroisuus nettikasvatuksessa ja teknologisessa koulumaail-massa nähtiin hyvin merkittävä.

The impact of a digital children's literature program on primary students' reading motivation

This qualitative study stemmed from a concern of the perceived decline in students' reading motivation after the early years of schooling, which has been attributed to the disconnect between the media students are accustomed to using outside the classroom and the media they predominantly use within the classroom. This research documented the effectiveness of a digital children's literature program and a postreading multimedia program on eight grade 1 students' reading motivation, word recognition, and comprehension abilities. Eight students were given ten 25-minute sessions with the software program over 15 weeks. Preprogram, interim-program, and postprogram qualitative data were collected from students, teachers, and parents through questionnaires, interviews, standardized reading assessment tools, classroom observations, field notes, and student behaviour observation checklists. Findings are summarized into 3 themes. The motivational aspects and constructivist styles of instruction in the digital reading programs may have contributed to 5 student participants' increased participation in online storybook reading at home. Qualitative data revealed that the digital children's literature program and multimedia postreading activities seemed to have a positive influence on the majority of grade 1 student participants' reading motivation, word recognition, and listening comprehension skills. These findings suggest the promise of multimedia and Internet-based reading software programs in supporting students with reading andlor behavioural difficulties. In keeping with current educational initiatives and efforts, increased use of media literacy practices in the grade 1 curriculum is suggested.

The DIADEM Software Development Methodology extended to Multimedia Interfaces

DIADEM, created by THOMSON-CSF, is a methodology for specifying and developing user interfaces. It improves productivity of the interface development process as well as quality of the interface. The method provides support to user interface development in three aspects. (1) DIADEM defines roles of people involved and their tasks and organises the sequence of activities. (2) It provides graphical formalisms supporting information exchange between people. (3) It offers a basic set of rules for optimum human-machine interfaces. The use of DIADEM in three areas (process control, sales support, and multimedia presentation) was observed and evaluated by our laboratory in the European project DIAMANTA (ESPRIT P20507). The method provides an open procedure that leaves room for adaptation to a specific application and environment. This paper gives an overview of DIADEM and shows how to extend formalisms for developing multimedia interfaces.

Kombinera teckenvärldar : perspektiv på multimodala examensarbeten

Syftet med denna artikel är att lyfta fram erfarenheter av ett forskningsprojekt om användande av multimodala former vid examensarbete. Det gemensamma för refererade examensarbeten är att studenterna presenterar dem både i form av en visuell representation och en skriftlig rapport. Fem högskolor har totalt ingått i projektet och undersökt olika fenomen när studenter har använt sig kombinationer av varierade gestaltande uttryck, teckenvärldar och symbolspråk för att undersöka sin forskningsfråga. Artikeln fokuserar på avsnitt av den delstudie som genomfördes vid Högskolan Dalarna inom ämnet Bild. Den exemplifierar med två av gruppens examensarbeten, som båda berör teman om funktionshinder och delaktighet. Studien tar fasta på designteori och en sociokulturell syn på lärande – och har använt tidigare forskning kring visual literacy, media literacy, mediereception och ”kultur i lärande” som led i begreppsutvecklingen. Från resultatet diskuteras aspekter kring handledning, ventileringsförfarande i offentlig miljö och respons (återkoppling), med utgångspunkt i studenternas perspektiv. Positiva aspekter, såväl som problemorienterade, berörs.

Mídia-educação no ensino médio: uma experiência com alunos e professores

This paper describes the development of educational materials on media education as a result of workshops held for students and teachers of high school in Midialab – Media Education Laboratory of Universidade Sagrado Coração. The objectives of this exploratory research were to investigate how teachers and students learn about media, looking for similarities and differences in the performance of the two groups in order to make it possible to conclude what methodology frameworks had a best result for promoting the media literacy of each group, taking on account the characteristics of public school and the paradigms of international media literacy. The methodology involved the application of activities focusing on six strategies: textual analysis, contextual analysis, content analysis, case study, translation, simulation and production. The results suggested that such activities are a productive way to develop critical reading skill and to reduce the differences between teachers and students’ repertoire. They also presented good results in the development of language usage by them and promoted collaborative learning, in a social approach.

Mulheres na politica e na mídia Brasileira: breve histórico e cenário atual

Brazil was one of the four countries of Latin America to be elected in this century, the first time a woman for president. But does the fact of having a woman in the highest office of the Republic reflects the reality of women's political participation in Brazil? And how will the female representation in the media of the country? To answer these questions, this article is a literature review of these topics, showing that, despite having a woman in the highest office of the Republic, women's political participation and their representation in the media is lagging behind.

Mídia-educação: uma proposta de formação de profissionais de comunicação

This article is based on the results of an experience with training undergraduate and postgraduate communication students for media education. The activities were founded on the theory and practice proposed by British researchers.
