  • Pgce Secondary English Students' Understanding of Visual Material As an Aspect of Multimodal Communication
    PGCE SECONDARY ENGLISH STUDENTS' UNDERSTANDING OF VISUAL MATERIAL AS AN ASPECT OF MULTIMODAL COMMUNICATION ROBERT STEPHEN ROBERTS EDD April 2019 ABSTRACT PGCE Secondary English Students’ Understanding of Visual Material as an Aspect of Multimodal Communication The research makes an original contribution to the understanding of multimodal communication in Secondary English Initial Teacher Education. The thesis describes, through a case study, how and why a cohort of PGCE Secondary English students used visual material in preparing their pedagogical texts for the classroom. The study shows that, though PGCE Secondary English students’ personal orientation to multimodal communication influenced their use of visual material, their pupils’ knowledge and experience of ‘the digital realm’ was not recognized. This descriptive case study, as insider research, began with a survey of the 2016- 2017 PGCE Secondary English cohort (15 students) on the presence of visual material in their teaching. Subsequently, 5 PGCE Secondary English students were interviewed about their use of visual material and provided exemplars from their practice. 14 pedagogical texts, lesson plans and evaluations were analysed to consider how PGCE students’ use of visual material expressed their awareness and understanding of multimodal communication. Typological contrasts were developed between the PGCE tutor’s interests in multimodal communication; the PGCE Secondary English students’ understanding of the role of visual material in English teaching; and the design of the

Considering Power Relations In neo-liberal societies of the global North, responsibility for “ageing well” is often placed on individuals, and interventions or attempts at “empowerment” tend to follow suit. Although gerontologists have become increasingly aware of and attentive to diversity among the older population, this more individualistic approach has often led to describing differences and working for personal or social change at that level, rather than considering the power relations that underlie such differences. Focusing on gender and age, I discuss what can occur when we do not dismantle the power relations that lead to inequalities before we construct interventions. For instance, failing to address gendered ageism as we formulate successful ageing can lead to a celebration of the anti-ageing industry as empowerment. This can allow ageing men and women to maintain youth-based, gendered bodies that simultaneously exclude the bodies of “other” elders while maintaining the inequalities that underlie such ideals. Likewise, ignoring the political economic bases of the rhetoric of “too many old people” in policy debates over insurance and pensions, leads to strategies that not only reinforce ageism but also exacerbate inequalities among old people. I conclude that inattention to power dynamics leads to knowledge and interventions that run the risk of failure while also reinforcing existing inequalities and resultant problems.
