  • Critical Literacy in Support of Critical-Citizenship Education in Social Studies
    TEACHING AND LEARNING Critical literacy in support of critical-citizenship education in social studies JANE ABBISS KEY POINTS • Critical-literacy approaches support justice-oriented, critical-citizenship education in social studies. • Developing learner criticality involves analysis of texts, including exploration of author viewpoints, assumptions made, matters of inclusion, and learner responses to social issues and how they are represented in texts. • Taking a critical literacy approach to support critical citizenship involves re-thinking how students in social studies engage with media sources. • Critical literacy aids informed decision-making on social issues. https://doi.org/10.18296/set.0054 set 3, 2016 29 TEACHING AND LEARNING How might social-studies teachers enact critical forms of citizenship education in classrooms and what pedagogies support this? This question is explored in relation to literature about critical citizenship and critical literacy. Also, possibilities for practice are considered and two approaches for critical literacy in social studies are presented: a) using critical questions to engage with texts; and b) focusing on media literacy in relation to current events. It is argued that critical literacy offers a collection of approaches that support justice-oriented, critical-citizenship education in social studies. Introduction Methodologically, this article presents a literature- based, small-scale practitioner inquiry relating to The aim of this article is twofold: first, to briefly challenges in supporting citizenship teaching and explore some contested views of citizenship education learning in social studies. At its core is a commitment and to consider the aims and foundations of critical to informing practice (Cochrane-Smith & Donnell, literacy as a collection of pedagogical approaches 2006; Smith & Helfenbein, 2009).

August 2021 Introduction • New Zealand On Air (NZ On Air) supports and funds public media content for New Zealand audiences, focussing on authentic NZ stories and songs that reflect New Zealand’s cultural identity and help build social cohesion, inclusion and connection. • It is therefore essential NZ On Air has an accurate understanding of the evolving media behaviour of NZ audiences. • The Where Are The Audiences? study delivers an objective measure of NZ audience behaviour at a time when continuous single source audience measurement is still in development. • This document presents the findings of the 2021 study. This is the fifth wave of the study since the benchmark in 2014 and provides not only a snapshot of current audience behaviour but also how behaviour is evolving over time. • NZ On Air aims to hold a mirror up to New Zealand and its people. The 2021 Where Are The Audiences? study will contribute to this goal by: – Informing NZ On Air’s content and platform strategy as well as the assessment of specific content proposals – Positioning NZ On Air as a knowledge leader with stakeholders. – Maintaining NZ On Air’s platform neutral approach to funding and support, and ensuring decisions are based on objective, single source, multi-media audience information.

  • Roy Morgan Poll Most Accurate on NZ Election
    Article No. 8549 Available on www.roymorgan.com Link to Roy Morgan Profiles Tuesday, 20 October 2020 Roy Morgan Poll most accurate on NZ Election – predicting a ‘crushing’ Labour majority for PM Jacinda Ardern The most accurate poll of the weekend’s New Zealand Election was the final Roy Morgan New Zealand Poll which predicted a ‘crushing’ victory for Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and a governing majority for the Labour Party. The official results show the Labour Party with 49.1% of the Party Vote finishing well ahead of National on 26.8%, Act NZ on 8%, the Greens on 7.6% and NZ First on only 2.7%. The final Roy Morgan New Zealand Poll released two days before last Saturday’s election showed the Labour Party with a Parliamentary majority winning lead on 47.5% - closer than the final polls for both 1 News Colmar Brunton (46%) and Newshub-Reid Research (45.8%). Roy Morgan predicted National support of 28.5% which was significantly closer to National’s election result of 26.8% than either Newshub-Reid Research (31%) or 1 News Colmar Brunton (31.1%). All three polls under-estimated the extent of Labour’s support and over-estimated support for National but the average error for the two major parties was only 1.65% for Roy Morgan compared to 3.65% for 1 News Colmar Brunton and 3.8% for Newshub-Reid Research. Roy Morgan was also closest when considering the results of smaller parties such as Act NZ and the Greens and minor parties such as the Maori Party and The Opportunities Party (TOP).

This preliminary report provides an outline of some issues of concern with regard to the state party's compliance with the provisions of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR, the Covenant). Its purpose is to assist the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (the Committee) with its preparation of the List of Issues Prior to Reporting (LOIPR) in advance of New Zealand's Fourth Periodic Report (the Periodic Report). 2. There are five main sections below: A. Information on Peace Movement Aotearoa B. Constitutional and legal framework C. Indigenous Peoples’ Rights (Articles 1, 2 and 15) i) Overview, ii) Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement, and iii) Impact of the activities of New Zealand companies on indigenous communities overseas. D. Socio-economic conditions (Articles 2, 3, 7, 9 11, and others) i) Increasing levels of child poverty, ii) Right to an adequate standard of living: social welfare / paid employment, iii) Housing crisis, iv) Allocation of public spending E. The Optional Protocol to the Covenant 3. More detailed information will be provided on these and other issues in parallel reports from Peace Movement Aotearoa and other NGOs following the state party’s submission of the Periodic Report next year. Due to time constraints, we have not covered as many issues in this report as we would have liked to, and we therefore refer the Committee to the Human Rights Foundation’s report which covers a range of concerns that we share.
