Utilizing digital tools to support face-to-face care : Examining uptake within the practices of Australian psychologist
2020
Societal adoption of mobile phones and other digital devices, and the resulting widespread digital literacy, allows for new possibilities in approaching and supporting faceto-face therapy. In this study, we examined the application of digital communication tools and media within therapeutic care by 33 psychologists across Australia. Uses of digital technologies were analyzed with a focus on both the approaches applied within face-to-face therapy sessions and those occurring as an adjunct to these sessions. In contrast to online counseling, established upon a foundation of digital technologies, the study results indicate that the use of technology in face-to-face therapy is still emerging bu…
Enhancing visual literacy through interpretation of photo-genres: toward a genre typology of journalistic photographs
2016
ABSTRACTAlthough genre is one of the most extensively employed concepts in various disciplines, only a few attempts have been made to classify images in the press, providing either a palette of thematic categories similar to those of photography competitions or theory-based classifications, which often ignore certain types of photographs. In addition, no studies have suggested the genre typology as a tool for the interpretation of journalistic photographs. Based on a literature review and visual material analysis from the Polish daily Gazeta Wyborcza, this study compiles a typology that sets out four photo-genres: news photography, reportage photography, portrait photography and illustrativ…

Critical Literacy in the subject Norwegian: How students (13–14 years) read and evaluate multimodal commercial texts
2022
Denne artikkelen presenterer funn frå ei spørjeundersøking om kritisk lesing og vurdering som omfattar eit utval på 228 norske elevar på åttande trinn (13–14 år). Studien undersøkjer både kva oppfatningar om kritisk lesing elevane formidlar og korleis elevar vurderer og grunngir lesinga si av multimodale kommersielle tekstar. Eit hovudfunn i studien er at forståinga av kritisk lesing som kjeldekritikk er mest utbreidd blant elevane. Ein stor del av elevane har såleis ei rimeleg, men avgrensa oppfatning av kva det vil seie å nærme seg ein tekst på ein kritisk måte. Elevane forbind i mindre grad kritisk lesing med det å nærme seg teksten på ein analytisk måte. Eit anna hovudfunn er at ein del…

Blogu lietojums rindkopu rakstīšanas prasmju mācīšanā
2015
Blogu integrēšana angļu valodas studijās ir viens no veidiem kā uzlabot digitālās prasmes, kuru nozīme turpina pieaugt. Šī pētījuma mērķis bija noskaidrot bloga kā interaktīva ideju ģenerēšanas rīka lietojuma efektivitāti angļu valodas nodarbībās kurās tiek mācīta cēloņa-rezultāta un argumentācijas rindkopu rakstīšana, kas paredzēta publicēšanai blogā. Izmantojot situācijas analīzes pētijuma metodi tika pierādīts izvirzītais pieņēmums, ka rakstītprasmju mācīšanā blogus var efektīvi iekļaut kā komunikatīvu ideju ģenerēšanas rīku. Rezultāti atklāja, ka blogi ir intraktīvi un praktiski saziņas līdzekļi, kurus var izmantot rakstīšanas prasmju pilnveidē, kā arī, lai palielinātu studentu motivāci…
New Literacy for Reading Using ICT
2014
This article will analyse the key strategies in the relationship between reading and writing in the area of ICT and the resulting importance in supporting literacy in this area so that the education system as a whole (primary and secondary schools and universities) can be guided to make full use of the opportunities ICT can provide. ICTs are able to help improve overall comprehension, evaluate general perspectives and raise awareness of the value of cooperation and, as a result, the essential quality of individuals and their contributions. These contributions are far-reaching and strategic. The benefits of applying ICT in reading and writing are also felt in oral expression and can result i…
The role of reading difficulties in the associations between task values, efficacy beliefs, and achievement emotions
2018
The aim of this study was to examine the situational associations of reading-related task values and efficacy beliefs with achievement emotions, and whether these associations are moderated by reading difficulties (RD). The sample comprised 128 Finnish sixth-grade students (66 with no reading difficulties [No RD], 31 with mild reading difficulties [Mild RD], and 31 with severe reading difficulties [Severe RD]) who were randomized to complete either a non-challenging or challenging reading task. Students reported their reading-related task values (attainment and interest) and efficacy beliefs right before and their achievement emotions both before and after performing the reading task. The r…
To See More: A Model for Press Photograph Story Analysis
2013
AbstractThis article presents and evaluates an interdisciplinary model for press photograph story analysis. The research comprised two stages: (i) familiarizing study participants with the interpretation model and (ii) qualitative content analysis of the participants’ interpretations of samples of press photograph stories. The result is that the model could be used in the educational context to develop the skills of visual literacy among students. Although the study opens new directions in visual methodologies, the model requires further development.
