This is the second of two articles about a study of the implementation of a media literacy curriculum project in three inner city schools Grade 5's in Montreal. The authors describe the development of technological literacy among the teachers and students as they learned about two Media Literacy concepts. The teaching featured the use of a SMARTboard interface, a list-serv and Web resources. The findings affirm the positive contribution of the devices to the development of technological literacy among teachers and pupils. But they also raise other issues: technological determinism and the role of interpretive teaching in educational technology.

This is the first of two articles about a study of the implementation of a media literacy curriculum project in three inner city school Grade 5's in Montreal. The authors describe what the teachers and students learned about two key Media Literacy concepts: the media construct reality and audiences negotiate the meanings of media texts. The teaching featured the use of Internet and computer technology. Their findings suggest that it is possible to teach elementary students to read media critically and raises some issues that merit further investigation: the ideology of positivism that permeates the use of technology in education; the training of media education teachers; and the factors that characterize effective media education pedagogy.

Formal School

<p><strong><span lang="EN-US">Abstract: </span></strong>The formal school system has been deemed to be essential in helping build the necessary knowledge and attitudes needed to promote environmental literacy. However, in a reality regulated by inexact educational policies and strong socioeconomical inequalities, any attempt to empower those living in marginalized conditions to care for their environment-on both its natural and social dimensions-can be seriously compromised. The present ethnographic case study in a science classroom in a Brazilian public school describes and articulates how the use of media literacy-based instructional strategies can inform teachers and students' critical classroom practices towards ecologizing the performance of curricula.</p><p><strong>Keywords</strong>: popular media literacy; ecoliteracy; environmental;  and science education; ethnographic case study; discourse analysis; global emancipating citizenship.</p><p><strong>Resumo</strong>: O sistema de educação formal é considerado essencial para o desenvolvimento de uma alfabetização ecológica. Entretanto, em uma realidade regulada por políticas educacionais inexatas e fortes desigualdades sócio-econômicas, qualquer tentativa de incentivar aqueles vivendo na marginalidade para que cuidem do seu ambiente - seja ele natural ou social - está seriamentecomprometida. O presente estudo etnográfico de caso em uma sala de aula de ciências em uma escola pública no Brasil visa descrever e articular como o uso de estratégias baseadas em novas tecnologias de mídia pode facilitar as práticas pedagógicas de professores e alunos de modo a mediar uma implementação mais ecológica dos atuais currículos escolares.</p><p> </p>

Ideological Assumptions

Reciprocity between teachers and students has been central to transformative pedagogies since the early work of Paulo Freire. However, realizing students as knowledge-producers is much more difficult. This article argues that typically it is the critical educator who &ldquo;troubles&rdquo; students&rsquo; ideological assumptions, often with the aim of culturally reproducing ourselves through what Michael Warner describes as reprosexuality. This places teachers at the center of the power/knowledge nexus and can foreclose the possibility of a dialogic relation with students in which the power of knowledge-making is a shared endeavor. Using a case study of a graduate course focused on feminist rhetorics and pedagogies in which maternal nurturance and safety in the classroom were central issues, this article explores how Judith Butler&rsquo;s politics of recognition and vulnerability can serve to build truly reciprocal student-teacher relations and a renewed vision of the role of safety in the classroom.

Case Study Methods

This study aimed to analyze the newly developed math curriculum taking into account the views of teachers and students. Curriculum analysis is realized in three dimensions; (1) Classroom management – the physical and emotional environment of the classroom, the role of teachers and students, and interactions, (2) Instructions – objectives, planning, implementation, methods and techniques, instructional media, and measurement and evaluation, and (3) Strengths (and benefits) and weaknesses (and limitations). Qualitative case study methods are utilized with literature reviews.  The responses collected from the sources are the content that is analyzed, and then the code is categorized. These findings suggest that some changes have been made and reflected in the implementation of the classroom, and the student-centered approach has been incorporated into the instruction. On the other hand, some difficulties arise during implementation due to a lack of infrastructure

Focaliza o papel do fórum on-line na concepção dos professores que atuaram em um curso de pós-graduação lato sensu a distância, realizado em uma instituição pública de ensino superior. Os fóruns on-line associados a cursos são meios de interações assíncronas entre professores e alunos. Os fóruns das disciplinas do curso investigado foram observados e os sujeitos (professores e alunos), entrevistados no período de agosto de 2004 a junho de 2005. As análises desses dados se basearam na noção de situação didática e contrato didático de Brousseau (1996, apud Silva, B., 2002), nos conceitos de interação social e aprendizagem de Vigotsky (2000) e nas idéias sobre a formação do professor de educação a distância (EaD), discutidas por Belloni (2001). Essas análises foram complementadas com discussões sobre a formação de comunidades de aprendizagem on-line e o papel do professor e do aluno virtual, segundo Palloff e Pratt (2004), e sobre os conceitos de ambientes digitais de aprendizagem de Almeida (2003). Conclui que as concepções de fórum dos professores do curso mencionado são oriundas de formação e práticas presenciais e que há poucos incentivos para atualização permanente desses profissionais. Constatou-se a necessidade de investimentos do poder público na formação continuada dos professores de EaD, que contribuam para mudanças de suas concepções e resultem em transformações de suas ações no ambiente virtual, necessárias para a sociedade da informação. Palavras-chave: fórum on-line; interação; educação a distância. Abstract This article reports a case study, which focused the role of the on-line forum in the conception of the teachers who worked in a post-graduation lato sensu distance course held by a public university. The on-line forums associated with courses are means of asynchronous interactions between teachers and students. The forums of the subjects of the course at issue were observed and the subjects (teachers and students) were interviewed in the period between August 2004 and July 2005. The analyses of these data were based on Brousseau´s notion of didactical situation and didactical contract (1996), on Vigotsky’s concepts of social interaction and learning (2000), and on the ideas about the formation of distance education teachers (EaD), discussed by Belloni (2001). These analyses were complemented with discussions about the formation of on-line learning communities and the roles of virtual teacher and students according to Palloff and Pratt (2004), and about Almeida’s concepts of digital learning environment (2003). It may be concluded that the conceptions of forum that the teachers of the aforementioned course have are originated from presence formation and practice and that there is little incentive for bringing these professionals up to date. It was concluded that there is a need for State investments in the continuous formation of EaD teachers, so as to contribute to changes in their conceptions and to bring about transformations of their actions in the virtual environment, aspects necessary for the information society. Keywords: on-line forum; interaction; distance education.
