A social constructivist approach to the use of podcasts - 1 views

  • The general premise that listening is often more engaging than the written word and that diction, intonation and inflection add meaning might be acceptable at face value, but as Hargis and Wilson (2005: 6) point out, ‘there are currently no examples which clearly indicate proven foundational pedagogical uses and outcomes for podcasts.’.
  • Though the technology is quite recent, it may tend to lead teachers towards outmoded, didactic approaches to delivery rather than the constructivist, collaborative activities recommended by more recent learning theorists.
  • learner is the passive recipient of the content
  • ...9 more annotations...
  • supplementary resources that would prompt them to undertake some cognitive activity whilst listening to the podcasted material
  • opportunities for listeners to converse about and record their reflections on what they have heard so that the flow of information does not become one way
  • Podcasts were only part of a set of broader learning activities, designed following Laurillard’s recommendations for conversational framework (2002).
  • The aim of the research design was not to establish causations, rather to understand the students’ responses to the podcast medium and its potential as a tool to support learning at a distance.
  • Whilst there were some neutral and negative responses to podcasting, there was a significant tendency towards positive perceptions
  • effect of delivery style on perceptions of listeners
  • Students involved in this study tended to be negative about the use of gapped handouts to supplement the podcast
  • significantly more omissions of important information occurring in students’ responses to text-based material than in their responses to the podcast.
  • Since a similar amount of time had elapsed in each instance the conclusion is that, in this case, students retained more detail from listening to the podcasts than from reading material.

    "Does listening to something, perhaps once, perhaps more than once, perhaps over and over again, mean that it is learned in a way that is useful to the student and that they can retrieve and re-use in an appropriate context at a later date? It is a proposition that seems to conflict with the situated learning theories of researchers like Brown, Collins and Duguid (1989), which assert that learning always lies in the interactions between people rather than in the content itself or in the minds of the individual learners. The general premise that listening is often more engaging than the written word and that diction, intonation and inflection add meaning might be acceptable at face value, but as Hargis and Wilson (2005: 6) point out, 'there are currently no examples which clearly indicate proven foundational pedagogical uses and outcomes for podcasts.'. Though the technology is quite recent, it may tend to lead teachers towards outmoded, didactic approaches to delivery rather than the constructivist, collaborative activities recommended by more recent learning theorists."
