‘Getting the seat of your pants dirty’: space and place in ethnographic educational research
In this paper I consider the importance of space and place in ethnographic educational
research. The paper draws on research that took place at Educational Video Center
(EVC), a non-profit media education centre in New York City (NYC). In this paper I
articulate EVC as a place imbued with meaning from the pedagogical practices that
take place within and regarding it and argue for a consideration of spatiality in
ethnographic educational research. I consider the role of the city landscape in order to
identify how knowledge is emplaced and represented through digital, visual
technology and conclude by outlining the criticality of spatialising our ethnographic
practices
Developing media production skills for literacy in a primary school classroom: Digital materials, embodied knowledge and material contexts
This chapter investigates the relationship between technical and operational skills and the development of conceptual knowledge and literacy in Media Arts learning. It argues that there is a relationship between the stories, expressions and ideas that students aim to produce with communications media, and their ability to realise these in material form through technical processes in specific material contexts. Our claim is that there is a relationship between the technical and the operational, along with material relations and the development of conceptual knowledge and literacy in media arts learning. We place more emphasis on the material aspects of literacy than is usually the case in socio-cultural accounts of media literacy. We provide examples from a current project to demonstrate that it is just as important to address the material as it is the discursive and conceptual when considering how students develop media literacy in classroom spaces
