About this title

Synopsis

The book showcases the application of evidence-based teaching and learning strategies in the field of media and communication studies, with specific reference to hands-on projects on media policy analysis. The intent of the book is to translate theoretical ideas and knowledge in the light of the new pedagogic developments and effective learning and teaching designs that can be taken up in any classroom setting and can be applied to any curriculum in higher and further education. A precise but comprehensive review has been undertaken in respect of ‘media education’ and ‘pedagogy and teaching-learning strategies’ as a base towards relooking at innovative instructional and learning designs for disciplinary teachings. Practicing educators of media education and new media studies authentically report on work-based ‘projects’ as ‘pedagogy’ as well as teaching and learning practice for transacting curriculum at the masters’ level, and demonstrate how pedagogic interventions can ease out learners and instructors to make teaching and learning handy and engaging. It underlines ‘project-based learning’ as one of the good practices in teaching media policy and delivering practical experiences to students in discerning policy formulations, its foundations, shifts, and challenges. In short, it may be referred as a handbook of hands-on projects on media policy analysis. It is also, at the same time, envisioned as a resource book for similar academic initiatives, and would be useful across curricula that focus on Media Studies, Law, and other Social Sciences.
