Video, Schools, and ResearchThis dissertation began as an investigation of how video cameras—through the manipulation and reflection of material environments—mediate social relations in high schools, but in the course of observations, the question of how the program contexts mediate video production became increasingly salient. Therefore, the purpose is to explore three diverse programs in video production to reveal the connections between developmental and social processes as the meaning of production is defined, contested, and reinterpreted. The study of contexts and the reasons for selecting video production programs is, however, heavily influenced by a particular perspective. This perspective concerns foremost the nature of a video camera and the role it plays in schools and research. Therefore, this section describes some meanings associated with video production. The following section then turns to broader theoretical considerations. |
