本文从理论上论述了用纪录片制作来加强传统的人文学科课程可以促进和激励学习。这节英语课的主题是老龄化和老年人在成人日托中心和退休社区的生活。学生们在15周的时间里用视频记录了老人的故事。讲师的目标是利用视频的即时性来挑战和消除年龄歧视的刻板印象。纪录片制作是一项简单而诱人的技术,它为学生们提供了了解长辈的有力工具。讨论了数字视频制作在课堂上的应用,并利用学生在本学期所写的五篇反思性文章中的批判性评论来跟踪学生对长辈看法的变化。
The article theorizes that augmenting traditional humanities course work with documentary video-making can enhance and motivate learning. The English class profiled focused on aging and the lives of elders in an adult daycare center and a retirement community. Students documented elders' stories in video over 15 weeks. The instructor's goal was to use the immediacy of video to challenge and dismantle ageist stereotypes. Documentary video-making is a simple, and enticing, technology that gives students a powerful tool for getting to know elders. Scholarship on classroom uses of digital video-making is discussed, and critical comments from the five reflective essays students wrote during the semester are used to track changes in student perceptions of elders.
