Abstract

ABSTRACT Undergraduate students can develop different bodies of knowledge by engaging with members of their family, university, and community. In this study, we investigated how undergraduate students used the knowledge, skills, and resources they gained in class to engage with their local communities through the creation of documentary films as part of an undergraduate course assignment. We employed funds of knowledge as a theoretical lens to understand how students utilize their academic knowledge in community contexts, and how students accumulate funds of knowledge within these contexts. The findings demonstrate that community-based knowledge was transmitted through a food discourse, which in turn informed the students’ academic knowledge. What is highlighted is the dialectical relationship between knowledge developed through community engagement and those gained through academic contexts.

食物、社区和电影制作:高等教育知识基金的案例研究

摘要大学生可以通过与家庭、大学和社区成员的接触来发展不同的知识体系。在这项研究中，我们调查了本科生如何利用课堂上获得的知识、技能和资源，通过制作纪录片与当地社区互动，作为本科生课程作业的一部分。我们将知识基金作为一个理论视角，来了解学生如何在社区环境中利用他们的学术知识，以及学生如何在这些环境中积累知识基金。研究结果表明，基于社区的知识是通过食物话语传播的，而食物话语又为学生的学术知识提供了信息。强调的是通过社区参与发展的知识和通过学术环境获得的知识之间的辩证关系。

期刊介绍： The aim of Higher Education Pedagogies is to identify, promote and publish excellence and innovations in the practice and theory of teaching and learning in and across all disciplines in higher education. The journal will provide an international forum for the sharing, dissemination and discussion of research, experience and perspectives across a wide range of teaching and learning issues. The journal will prove a valuable resource for individuals in the development and enhancement of their own practice, and for institutions in the promotion of the scholarship of teaching and learning. Higher Education Pedagogies will focus on disciplinary pedagogies and learning experiences; the higher education curriculum, i.e. what is taught and how it is developed and enhanced including both skills and knowledge; the delivery of the higher education curriculum; how it is taught and how students learn, and academic development; the role of teaching and learning in the development of academic careers and its place within the profession. Higher Education Pedagogies welcomes papers which are accessible to both specialist and generalist readers and are theoretically and empirically rigorous. Through advancing knowledge of, and practice in, teaching and learning, Higher Education Pedagogies will prove essential reading for all those who wish to stay informed of state-of-the-art teaching and learning developments in higher education. Higher Education Pedagogies is sponsored by the Higher Education Academy.
