12:00pm-1:00pm A Comparison of Print and Video as Educational Media
Kathleen Scott, Ph.D. Assistant Professor, Educational Foundations Ashland University
Dr. Scott will present the findings of an exploratory study designed to investigate the question of whether the medium chosen for the delivery of instruction impacts the processes through which students construct meaning and develop understanding. Indeed differences did emerge which challenged some conclusions drawn from previous studies. Explanations for these differences were explored utilizing the available comparative literature and focusing on the established proposition that the most primary media require the highest level of abstraction on the part of the recipient and thus the most significant cognitive investment by the learner. The results suggest that this higher investment may result in a greater degree of internalization of the content and thus impact the construction of understandings.
Dr. Scott has been employed as a teacher on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota, at St. Stephen Elementary School, a three-room school in Cumberland, Kentucky, in Appalachia, and for ten years at Lake Travis High School in Austin. Her content focus included history, sociology, economics, and government. Before entering her doctoral program at the University of Texas at Austin, she served as an educational consultant and writer for Kamico Instructional Media in Austin, Texas. |
