I have just finished my chapter for the 2006 Review of Research in Education for the American Education Research Association. The chapter takes a critical look at how theories of learning have been used to rationalise, justify or explain the meaning and pleasure of media culture amongst young people in contradistinction to school. I want those people who think that media culture has won the ‘competition with schools to think again about what this means for the politics of education. Publication details for Volume 30 can be found here.
Mmm, ‘sounds’ interesting. Will keep an eye out for it. Nice looking space here JSG. Keep it coming yeh …
Dr. Sefton-Green:
I am looking forward to this one! I’d love to hear your thoughts on educational technology and popularized media as instructional tools.
