Abstract

ABSTRACT In many countries stakeholders take initiatives to stimulate students’ media literacy, such as (free) distribution of newspapers to teachers, the so-called Newspapers in Education (NiE) programmes. The aim of these initiatives is to promote reading, stimulate interactive ways of teaching and create a generation of critical thinkers and informed citizens. The success and effectiveness of initiatives of this kind depend on how teachers use newspapers as teaching tools in class. In this study we examine the use of a local NiE programme and shed light on its determining factors. 454 Flemish teachers (Belgium) in primary and secondary education and 219 student teachers (Bachelors and Masters) participated in the study, which followed a mixed-methods approach. The results show that if newspapers are (freely) distributed, teachers use them as teaching tools quite intensively as teaching tools. One of the most determining factors is the extent to which teachers use media themselves and work on media creation in their classrooms. This finding indicates that school board members, pedagogical counsellors and teacher educators can support and stimulate NiE programmes by paying explicit attention to these elements, e.g., during pre- and in-service training as well as by focusing on the development of media literacy competencies of teachers.

报纸作为媒介素养教育的教学工具是什么促使教师在课堂上使用报纸?

在许多国家，利益相关者采取主动措施来激发学生的媒体素养，例如(免费)向教师分发报纸，即所谓的“教育中的报纸”(NiE)计划。这些举措的目的是促进阅读，激发互动式教学方式，培养新一代批判性思考者和知情公民。这类倡议的成功和有效性取决于教师如何在课堂上使用报纸作为教学工具。在这项研究中，我们检查了当地NiE计划的使用情况，并阐明了其决定因素。454名佛兰德语中小学教师(比利时)和219名实习教师(学士和硕士)参加了这项采用混合方法的研究。结果表明，如果报纸(免费)分发，教师将其作为教学工具大量使用。最具决定性的因素之一是教师自己使用媒体的程度以及在课堂上进行媒体创作的程度。这一发现表明，学校董事会成员、教学顾问和教师教育工作者可以通过明确注意这些因素，例如在职前和在职培训期间，以及通过着重发展教师的媒介素养能力，来支持和促进新闻传播方案。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
