WHAT IS AV DOING IN A HUMANITIES DEGREE?

The Communication module of the B.A. (Hons) Humanities modular degree at Bristol Polytechnic involves non‐Art & Design students in practical audio‐visual media work through ‘live’ projects undertaken for ‘clients’ in the community ‐‐ schoolteachers, social workers, charities, etc. ‐‐ the work being carried out in teams of between 2 and 5.

The theoretical base of the course is face‐to‐face interaction in real‐life situations such as the classroom and the television interview. The method of assessment here is to present examinees with selected communicative events on videotape and call for analysis and comparison, and evaluation of the theoretical approaches employed. This places a premium on students being able to apply theory directly to real‐life situations, rather than rehearse those theories in essay form.

The course is both intended by the staff and perceived by the students to be distinctly different from the other modules of an otherwise book‐based degree in providing for the essentially practical application of ideas and a basic introduction to alternative modes of communication. By means of the projects, drawn from a variety of sources far removed from the degree course and the institution, the analytical, research, and design skills of the students are applied in a realistic way to broaden their own perspectives and to be of lasting benefit within the community.

WHAT IS THE VALUE OF PUBLIC SCHOOL ACCOUNTABILITY?

A bstract .  In this review essay, Michael Gunzenhauser and Andrea Hyde consider three recent edited collections that address the potential value of public school accountability policy: Kenneth Sirotnik's Holding Accountability Accountable: What Ought to Matter in Public Education ; Martin Carnoy, Richard Elmore, and Leslie Santee Siskin's The New Accountability: High Schools and High-Stakes Testing ; and Linda Skrla and James Scheurich's Educational Equity and Accountability: Paradigms, Policies, and Politics. Taken together, the texts provide a snapshot of current scholarly discourse about the phenomenon of accountability policy and provide educators with conceptual tools for analyzing and responding to accountability pressures. While these conceptual distinctions help advance scholarly discourse on accountability, ultimately the texts demonstrate the conceptual poverty of accountability policy for guiding educational improvement. Gunzenhauser and Hyde argue that current state accountability systems are not likely to encourage the broad, systemic capacity building that these three volumes describe as fundamental to achieving the requirements of federal policies.
