S Students who participated in a required yearlong Grade 11 English media/communication course that incorporated extensive critical media analysis of print, audio, and visual texts were compared with students from a demographically matched group who received no instruction in critically analyzing media messages. A nonequivalent group's design examinedstudents' reading comprehension, writing skills, critical reading, critical listening, and critical viewing skills for nonfiction informational messages. Results suggest that media literacy instruction improvesstudents' ability to identify main ideas in written, audio, and visual media. Statistically significant differences were also found for writing quantity and quality. Specific text analysis skills also improved, including the ability to identify the purpose, target audience, point of view, construction techniques used in media messages, and the ability to identify omitted information from a news media broadcast in written, audio, or visual formats. Un grupo de once estudiantes participó en un curso anual de grado 11 sobre medios y comunicación en inglés, que incorporó un extenso análisis crítico de los medios en textos impresos y audiovisuales. Este grupo se comparó con un grupo demográficamente similar que no recibió instrucción en análisis crítico de los medios. Mediante un diseño de grupos no‐equivalentes se examinaron la comprensión lectora, las habilidades de escritura, la lectura crítica, la audición crítica y las habilidades de observación crítica de mensajes informativos no de ficción. Los resultados sugieren que la instrucción en análisis crítico de los medios mejora la habilidad de los estudiantes para identificar ideas principales en medios impresos o audiovisuales. Se hallaron también diferencias estadísticamente significativas en la cantidad y calidad de la producción escrita. Asismismo mejoraron las habilidades específicas de análisis textual, incluida la habilidad para identificar el propósito, la audiencia, el punto de vista, las técnicas de construcción usadas en los mensajes de los medios y la habilidad para detectar información omitida en una transmisión de noticias en formato escrito o audiovisual. Elfte Klasse Schüler, die an einem einjährigen Pflichtfach in Media‐Englisch/Kommunikation der 11. Klasse teilnahmen, welches ausführliche kritische Media‐Analyse von Druck, Audio und visuellen Texten einschloß, wurden mit Schülern einer demografisch ebenbürtigen Gruppe verglichen, die keine Anweisungen zum kritischen Analysieren von Mediamitteilungen erhielten. Ein nicht equivalenter Gruppenraster untersuchte Leseverständnis, Schreibbefähigung, kritisches Lesen, kritisches Zuhören, und Fähigkeiten kritischer Meinungsäußerung bei Informationen von Tatsachenberichten. Die Ergebnisse lassen darauf schließen, daß Medienunterricht im Schreiben und Lesen die Fähigkeit der Schüler zum Erkennen wesentlicher Ideen der schriftlichen, audio‐ und visuellen Medien verbessert. Ebenfalls fanden sich statistisch bedeutende Unterschiede beim quantitativen ...
Smoking media literacy can be measured with excellent reliability and concurrent criterion validity. Given the independent association between SML and smoking, media literacy may be a promising tool for future tobacco control interventions.
Under normal instructional circumstances, some youngsters learn programming in BASIC or LOGO much better than others. Clinical investigations of novice programmers suggest that this happens in part because different students bring different patterns of learning to the programming context. Many students disengage from the task whenever trouble occurs, neglect to track closely what their programs do by reading back the code as they write it, try to repair buggy programs by haphazardly tinkering with the code, or have difficulty breaking problems down into parts suitable for separate chunks of code. Such problems interfere with students making the best of their own learning capabilities: students often invent programming plans that go beyond what they have been taught directly. Instruction designed to foster better learning practices could help students to acquire a repertoire of programming skills, perhaps with spinoffs having to do with “learning to learn.”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
