TAILIEUCHUNG - Context based learning: A role for cinema in science education

The interest in films taken by feminists stems from concern about the under-representation and misrepresentation of women in cinema. It adopts a critical approach towards gender bias on celluloid. The feminist approach to cinema asks a few pertinent questions like how women are represented on screen, how women‟s issues are treated in cinema, what does feminism mean to film-makers, how does the feminist agenda manifest on screen, how is the women character positioned vis a vis the male character and what is the role of women film-makers and women writers in depicting women‟s issues through cinema. iii Feminist critique. | Science Education International September 2010 131-143 International Council of Associations for Science Education Context based learning A role for cinema in science education Agnaldo Arroio University of São Paulo Brazil Abstract This paper discusses the role of cinema as a tool for science education. Based on the socio-cultural approach put forward by Vygotsky it draws attention to the fact that an audience can interact with the characters and share their emotions and actions showed in an audiovisual setting. Experiences come from an interaction with a learning environment and personal construction of knowledge occurs through the interaction between the individual s knowledge schemes and his or her experiences with the environment. In this way movies are analysed by considering the potential of audiovisual scientific and common languages to be used as a tool to mediating science teaching and learning. Audiovisual language shows itself as a valuable possibility to facilitate knowledge construction. This occurs because of the integration of an individual s reality with the surrounding environment which develops in the student the sensitivity and perception of the setting.
