本文介绍了新故事/新文化的组织,课程和成果,这是一个以活动为基础的计划,在美国一所主要大学附近的低收入社区的五所学校进行课后浓缩。该计划鼓励学生(70%的西班牙裔美国人,30%的非洲裔美国人)体验自己作为文化的生产者,而不仅仅是消费者。它的方法包括:(a)创造性的团队使用视频设备和其他表达媒体;(B)关于媒体素养的课程(即,对流行文化和商业广告中描绘的图像和活动进行批判性选择)。五年级和六年级学生的队列结果的措施支持该计划的职业为基础的理念。他们表明,学生们更有可能在从事既有挑战性又令人愉快的活动时体验到自己的技能。学生们报告说,最大的参与和享受的活动是创造性的,以团队为基础的,并涉及媒体制作。这些活动与自尊心的增强有关。直接文化干预一词用来描述职业原则和批判性观点的应用,为人口提供解释和成功驾驭社会世界的概念工具和技能。
This article describes the organization, curriculum, and outcomes for New Stories/New Cultures, an activity-based program for after-school enrichment in five schools in the low-income neighborhood near a major American university. The program encourages students (70% Hispanic-American, 30% African-American) to experience themselves as producers of culture, not just as consumers. Its methods include (a) creative team use of video equipment and other expressive media and (b) lessons about media literacy (i.e., making critical choices about images and activities depicted in popular culture and commercials). Outcome measures with the cohort of fifth and sixth graders support the programs occupation-based philosophy. They show that students are more likely to experience themselves as building skills when engaged in activities that are both challenging and enjoyable. The students reported greatest engagement and enjoyment in activities that were creative, team-based, and involving media production. These same activities were correlated with increased self-esteem. The term direct cultural intervention is used to describe the application of occupational principles and critical perspectives to provide a population with conceptual tools and skills for interpreting and successfully navigating the social world.
