Reflecting Transcultural Media Life Studies from the Perspectives of Media Literacies
Learning, Media and Technology, v45 n2 p151-164 2020
This article reflects upon the media pedagogical method called Media Life Study to enhance the international master students learning on transcultural media literacies. The action research was implemented on a "Transcultural Perspectives in Media Education" course held in spring of 2016 as part of Erasmus + -project (e-Mel.org) at the University of Tampere in Finland. The theoretical framework from media education, transculturalism and autobiography are employed with empirical data from four learning phases: individual narrative, group production, video news, and learning diary. The findings show that Media Life Study as a reflexive pedagogical method brings opportunities and awareness of the transcultural society.
