"We're from the Generation that was Raised on Television": A Qualitative Exploration of Media Imagery in Elementary Preservice Teachers' Video Production
Hayes, Michael T.; Petrie, Gina Mikel
International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education (QSE), v19 n4 p499-517 Jul-Aug 2006
In this article, the authors present their analysis of preservice teachers video production. Twenty-eight students in the first authors Social Foundations of the Elementary Curriculum course produced a 5 to 10 minute video as the major assignment for the class, interviews were conducted with six of the seven video production groups and the videos were analyzed with regard to the interviews and theories of visual culture. The authors suggest that in the video products and in the production process the students exhibited a cultural logic of media imagery. The particular logics of audience and entertainment served as a concealed organizing principle for how the students thought about their videos and the processes involved in making them. Embedded in this logic was an overarching concern that their work occupy a public space, thus troubling the boundaries of consumption and production that frame how we consider the role media culture plays in the processes of human meaning-making.
