The Pedagogy of Television
To educate and entertain: the pedagogy of television Ava Laure Parsemain A thesis in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of the Arts & Media Faculty of Arts & Social Sciences September 2015 PLEASE TYPE THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: Parsemain First name: Laure Other name/s: Ava Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: PhD School: The School of the Arts and Media Faculty: The Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences Title: To educate and entertain: the pedagogy of television Abstract 350 words maximum: (PLEASE TYPE) Many media scholars agree that television can be used as an informal site of teaching and learning. However, little is known about how television teaches. This thesis explores the pedagogy of television by investigating the processes by which television teaches and viewers learn. It addresses the following questions: how does television teach through production techniques and textual features? How do viewers learn from television? To investigate televisual pedagogy as a communicative process, this study links producers' discourses, audiovisual textuality and audience responses. By connecting production, text and reception, it shows how teaching and learning interact in the context of televisual communication. Taking into account the distinction between public service and commercial television and the traditional demarcation between programmes that are explicitly produced to educate and those that are produced primarily to entertain, it examines the production, textual features, and reception of two Australian programmes: Who Do You Think You Are?, a documentary seri es broadcast on the public service channel SBS, and Home and Away, a soap opera broadcast on the commercial Seven Network. -
Popular Culture Popular Culture Includes a Wide Range of Activities That a Large Number of People in a Society Engage In
[ only] Unit 3 The globalising world (1945–the present) Popular culture Popular culture includes a wide range of activities that a large number of people in a society engage in. Since World War II, Australia has developed strong industries in four key areas of popular culture: music, film, television and sport. Television and rock’n’roll music both arrived in 1956 and have had a strong influence on all groups within Australian society – this continues today. Sport has retained an important role in Australian life and has become closely tied to our sense of identity. The Australian film industry has also emerged to tell uniquely Australian stories that entertain and inform. While British, American and, more recently, European and Asian cultures have influenced us, Australia has developed its own distinct culture. Music, film, television and sport have not only become ways of reflecting who we are, but have also enabled Australia to engage with the rest of the world. chapter Source 1 ‘Hello possums’ – one of Australia’s many contributions to international popular13 culture is Barrie Humphries as Dame Edna Everage. 13A 13B 13C How did developments in How have the music, filmDRAFT and What contributions has popular culture influence Australia television industries in Australia Australia made to international Insert obook assess logo: after World War II? changed since World War II? popular culture?
