    MASS MEDIA’S IMPACT ON EDUCATIONAL OUTCOMES IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES: EVIDENCE FROM PAKISTAN A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Public Policy By Mahreen Hasan, LLB. Washington, DC April 13, 2010 MASS MEDIA’S IMPACT ON EDUCATIONAL OUTCOMES IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES: EVIDENCE FROM PAKISTAN Mahreen Hasan, LLB. Thesis Advisor: Gillette Hall, Ph.D. ABSTRACT Does the growing prevalence of mass media in the developing world represent a potentially untapped opportunity to improve educational outcomes in these countries? This paper presents empirical evidence on the academic impact of children’s access to and use of media at home. Using the 2003 Learning and Educational Achievement in Punjab Schools (LEAPS) dataset and multivariate analysis, it finds that weekly hours of media use has a significant positive impact on test scores, although the overall effect of media varies according to how the variable is operationalized. This study also finds that school quality and child characteristics are important determinants of academic performance, reinforcing the findings of the LEAPS researchers (Andrabi et al 2007). For education policymakers, these results provide some support for the potential role of mass media in enhancing learning levels in developing countries. Such findings underscore the need for further research on the media-education relationship, in order to maximize the potential benefits of mass media for developing countries’ education sectors. ii I would like to thank my thesis advisor, Gillette Hall, for her invaluable guidance through the research, writing and editing process; my peer reviewers – Michael Bailey, Joydeep Roy and Andrew Rothman – for their thoughtful comments; the members of my thesis workshop – Ryan Carrington, Camille D’Andrea, Cafer Orman, Aldo Ortega, Carly Reed, Alex Solano and Jade Winfree – for their continual assistance through the year; and Asif Shah Mohammed for his constant love and support.

  • From Textbooks to Pakistani Urdu Digests
    PJAEE, 17(7) (2020) ‘GENDERED DISCURSIVE PRACTICES’: FROM TEXTBOOKS TO PAKISTANI URDU DIGESTS Humaira Riaz City University of Science & IT, Peshawar KPK, Paksitan Humaira Riaz. ‘Gendered Discursive Practices’: From Textbooks to Pakistani Urdu Digests – Palarch’s Journal of Archaeology of Egypt/Egyptology 17(7) (2020). ISSN 1567-214X. Keywords: Discursive Practice, Textbooks, Narratives, One-Dimensional, Exaggeration, Subversion ABSTRACT: Certain ideals of feminine beauty are paramount in the stories of Pakistani Urdu digests. Rendered as jovial, the female protagonist is matched to a reputed, handsome, most prominently a professional man who secures her a happy life. The present study focuses how customary representation of gender roles sustains in the narratives of different Urdu digests during a span of ten years maintaining the conventional representation of gender roles. The study examines the enforced stereotype portrayal of woman in Urdu Digests through exaggeration and subversion, representing her to be an ideally good girl, unequivocally beautiful, kind, and compassionate. Sunderland’s working model of gendered discursive practices (2002) in relation to textbooks (originally created for teacher’s talk around the text) has been adopted partially and modified to conform to the present study. The study finds the digest stories persistently undermine female roles by perpetuating stereotypes and reinforcing their image as one-dimensional. The study is helpful in understanding the role of print media creating a deadlock in the identity construction of women in Pakistani society. It also highlights the traditional concepts endorsed through such stories. A study can be conducted in future highlighting stereotypical representation of women in contemporary Pakistani dramas to reinforce patriarchal structures that designate gender imbalance, predominantly in the middle class of Pakistani society.
