Reviews
Pedagogy in Practice is quite a masterful guidepost to more active and engaging media studies/governance courses, programmes and activities that will sharpen your project-based learning competencies, confidences and communications. If you’re a media studies educator, simply immerse yourself in any page and walk away with a whole new vision of what transformative learning in the twenty-first century can really look like. -- Professor Curtis J. Bonk, Professor of Instructional Systems Technology, Indiana University, USA Pedagogy in Practice fills an important gap in the current pedagogical literature. Media literacy, together with media policy and governance, has emerged as one of the most salient issues of our time, critical to understanding the formation of public opinion and to the survival of democracy itself. Meanwhile, project-based learning is recognised as one of the best pedagogical tools available for engaging students. These are combined effectively in this book, which provides the perfect tool for teachers to understand and educate others about media-related issues. I would like to offer my congratulations to the authors on the creation of this practical, clear and helpful guide. -- Professor Sung Kyum Cho, Former President, Korean Society for Journalism and Communication Studies, South Korea Pedagogy in Practice is a smartly edited and indispensable volume for those studying Indian media analysis, news mapping, market structure of cultural industries, regulatory policy shifts and media governance. The different chapters have a wealth of hands-on pedagogic advice for teaching at the MA and PhD levels. Faculty will find it innovative, practical, comprehensive and stimulating. For serious students, the world of contemporary mass media is a place for big ideas and controversies about citizen activism, diversity and individual rights. The authors have done a first-rate job in providing a roadmap to this complex policy universe and the latest in innovative teaching methods. One of its best features is that it provides the tools for students and policy experts to acquire a critical view of the far-ranging impact of media studies in contemporary times. -- Professor Daniel Drache, Professor Emeritus, Department of Politics, York University, Toronto, Canada This is an interesting and timely publication and provides valuable insights on evidence-based teaching and active learning strategies. It will help strengthen, standardise and innovate pedagogical practices in media studies and can be used and adapted in any classroom setting including higher education and professional studies. I see this book as being of great value to educational leaders and pedagogues across the world. -- Dr Sheila Jagannathan, Global Head, Open Learning Campus, World Bank, Washington, DC, USA Rarely one finds a book that combines the best of pedagogy in a disciplinary context. Pedagogy in Practice is one such publication that presents reflective practitioners’ documentation of adopting project-based learning in media education. Set in the context of media policy and governance in India, and a larger project on developing conceptual framework and pedagogic analysis on the subject, the book provides lived-in experiences of the authors supported with sound theoretical perspectives on designing and implementing hands-on projects and workshops to prepare media professionals and researchers. The editors of the book bring together their extensive experiences of teaching and research on education and media to provide a balanced contribution on theory and practice of teaching and learning in media education. -- Dr Sanjaya Mishra, Director, The Commonwealth of Learning, Vancouver, Canada Timely, comprehensive, rigorous and practically engaged, this volume should be read by students, educators and media policy analysts, both in classrooms and beyond, across Asia and the Global South. -- Professor Jack Linchuan Qiu, Research Director, Department of Communications and New Media, National University of Singapore, Singapore
