Active Reasoning

   African-American
    Children’s Active
Reasoning about Media
 Texts as a Precursor to
Media Literacy in the US

   Renee Hobbs and
  Michael RobbGrieco
Children Live with Media and
               Technology
BETWEEN THE AGES OF 8 – 18,

76% of children have an
I-pod or Mp3 player

66% have a cell phone

29% have their own laptop computer

70% have a TV in the bedroom
50% have a videogame player in the
bedroom

30% have Internet access in their bedroom
The Education Equity Gap
• 12% of fourth-grade boys are
  proficient in reading, compared
  with 38% of white boys

• Black boys are less likely to
  graduate on time from public high
  school (completing Grades 9 – 12 in
  four years) and twice as likely to
  drop out of high school as White
  boys.

•    While African-American girls are
    more likely to experience academic
    success than boys, many children
    experience academic challenges in
    schools with few resources and
    high teacher turnover rates.
50% of classroom teachers believe that
         children spend too much time
                     in front of screens
                     Wartella, Schomburg, Lauricella, Robb & Flynn, 2010
Media May Support
               Literacy Development
Media-based activities support literacy development because
they strengthen the oral language skills that are required for
reading comprehension.

Readers must construct coherent mental representations by
connecting statements and ideas together, using both clues from
the text itself and the readers’ own background knowledge.

Reading comprehension involves inference-making, where
readers construct mental representations by identifying
“meaningful relations among text elements and between text
elements and background knowledge.
Passive & Active Audiences
Hypothesis
H1. African-American children enrolled in a
Selective program will engage in more active
reasoning about their favorite television programs,
videogames and music than students enrolled in a
regular education (Charter) program.
H2. African-American children enrolled in a
selective admission program for academically-
talented students (Selective) will have different
media use habits and different home media
environments than students enrolled in a regular
education (Charter) program.
The “Gifted” Sample
SELECTIVE> High-achievers included all 5th and 6th
graders from a highly competitive extra-curricular
citywide academic program offered by a non-profit youth
serving organization. These children have been formally
identified as “gifted.” This program selects low-income
elementary student applicants from the urban public
school district, based on recommendations from
teachers, academic achievement and family interviews,
and prepares them for placement in competitive middle
and junior high schools. Participating Selective students
come from more than 30 low-income neighborhoods in
the city.
The “Regular” Sample
REGULAR > This group included all 5th and 6th graders from a
public K-6 grade elementary school (Charter) that draws
student applicants by lottery. The city’s newspaper published
a “Report Card” on the school district and reported that the
district-wide high school dropout rate was 44%. This charter
school draws its predominantly African-American students
from 41 low-income neighborhoods across the city.

Children from this school are generally performing at rates
about even with or above par with city school averages, but
considerably lower than state averages. For example, only
38% of Grade 5 children have reading scores at or above
proficient, as compared with 65% of children from across the
state.
What We Asked Kids
• Amount of media use on a regular school day and
  a weekend day
• Parental involvement in children’s media use
  including reading, music, videogames, Internet,
  television, general conversation, co-use, and rules
  about media use.
• Active reasoning of media. Children were asked
  to name their favorite TV show, videogame, and
  song, and to explain why they liked each one in
  writing. Children were also asked to draw a
  picture about their favorite television program.

What Kids Write
“It is hilarious and some of the boys on there are
cute and funny and it has my favorite t.v. stars”

“It's funny and the cartoons can sometimes be
so clueless and at other times can be so evil.”

“It has awesome graphics, great characters, and
cool super attacks.”
What Kids Write
“It's a fighting [game] and it's the 5th Tekken. I
have been a fan since the first one came out.”

“It has drama, it funny, it about teenagers which
I will be in 2 more years.”
What Kids Write
“It’s funny”

“It’s cool”

“It is the best”
What is Active Reasoning?
             A Precursor to Media Literacy

Students demonstrated active reasoning if they:

• Recognized the genre or type of message
• Made an explicit link between two elements of the
  composition (e.g., lyrics + beat, beat + dance)
• Description a compositional element
• Identification of the message’s purpose or meaning
• Referred to some social aspects of using media
• Described an emotional response plus one other
  element of the message.
Gifted students use more active reasoning in responding
           to television than regular students.
Other Findings

• Academic achievers are heavy electronic
  media users but consume less than Charter
  students and are somewhat less likely to have
  a TV in the bedroom.
• Children do not see parents as involved in
  their media use habits and activities but some
  evidence suggests differences in children’s
  attitudes about restrictive mediation.

Active Reasoning Hobbs and RobbGrieco

  • 1. Active Reasoning African-American Children’s Active Reasoning about Media Texts as a Precursor to Media Literacy in the US Renee Hobbs and Michael RobbGrieco
  • 2. Children Live with Media and Technology BETWEEN THE AGES OF 8 – 18, 76% of children have an I-pod or Mp3 player 66% have a cell phone 29% have their own laptop computer 70% have a TV in the bedroom 50% have a videogame player in the bedroom 30% have Internet access in their bedroom
  • 3. The Education Equity Gap • 12% of fourth-grade boys are proficient in reading, compared with 38% of white boys • Black boys are less likely to graduate on time from public high school (completing Grades 9 – 12 in four years) and twice as likely to drop out of high school as White boys. • While African-American girls are more likely to experience academic success than boys, many children experience academic challenges in schools with few resources and high teacher turnover rates.
  • 4. 50% of classroom teachers believe that children spend too much time in front of screens Wartella, Schomburg, Lauricella, Robb & Flynn, 2010
  • 5. Media May Support Literacy Development Media-based activities support literacy development because they strengthen the oral language skills that are required for reading comprehension. Readers must construct coherent mental representations by connecting statements and ideas together, using both clues from the text itself and the readers’ own background knowledge. Reading comprehension involves inference-making, where readers construct mental representations by identifying “meaningful relations among text elements and between text elements and background knowledge.
  • 6. Passive & Active Audiences
  • 7. Hypothesis H1. African-American children enrolled in a Selective program will engage in more active reasoning about their favorite television programs, videogames and music than students enrolled in a regular education (Charter) program. H2. African-American children enrolled in a selective admission program for academically- talented students (Selective) will have different media use habits and different home media environments than students enrolled in a regular education (Charter) program.
  • 8. The “Gifted” Sample SELECTIVE> High-achievers included all 5th and 6th graders from a highly competitive extra-curricular citywide academic program offered by a non-profit youth serving organization. These children have been formally identified as “gifted.” This program selects low-income elementary student applicants from the urban public school district, based on recommendations from teachers, academic achievement and family interviews, and prepares them for placement in competitive middle and junior high schools. Participating Selective students come from more than 30 low-income neighborhoods in the city.
  • 9. The “Regular” Sample REGULAR > This group included all 5th and 6th graders from a public K-6 grade elementary school (Charter) that draws student applicants by lottery. The city’s newspaper published a “Report Card” on the school district and reported that the district-wide high school dropout rate was 44%. This charter school draws its predominantly African-American students from 41 low-income neighborhoods across the city. Children from this school are generally performing at rates about even with or above par with city school averages, but considerably lower than state averages. For example, only 38% of Grade 5 children have reading scores at or above proficient, as compared with 65% of children from across the state.
  • 10. What We Asked Kids • Amount of media use on a regular school day and a weekend day • Parental involvement in children’s media use including reading, music, videogames, Internet, television, general conversation, co-use, and rules about media use. • Active reasoning of media. Children were asked to name their favorite TV show, videogame, and song, and to explain why they liked each one in writing. Children were also asked to draw a picture about their favorite television program.
  • 13. What Kids Write “It is hilarious and some of the boys on there are cute and funny and it has my favorite t.v. stars” “It's funny and the cartoons can sometimes be so clueless and at other times can be so evil.” “It has awesome graphics, great characters, and cool super attacks.”
  • 14. What Kids Write “It's a fighting [game] and it's the 5th Tekken. I have been a fan since the first one came out.” “It has drama, it funny, it about teenagers which I will be in 2 more years.”
  • 15. What Kids Write “It’s funny” “It’s cool” “It is the best”
  • 16. What is Active Reasoning? A Precursor to Media Literacy Students demonstrated active reasoning if they: • Recognized the genre or type of message • Made an explicit link between two elements of the composition (e.g., lyrics + beat, beat + dance) • Description a compositional element • Identification of the message’s purpose or meaning • Referred to some social aspects of using media • Described an emotional response plus one other element of the message.
  • 17. Gifted students use more active reasoning in responding to television than regular students.
  • 18. Other Findings • Academic achievers are heavy electronic media users but consume less than Charter students and are somewhat less likely to have a TV in the bedroom. • Children do not see parents as involved in their media use habits and activities but some evidence suggests differences in children’s attitudes about restrictive mediation.
