Abstract

This presentation is based on a unique Summer Institute at the University of Manitoba, Canada in which the presenters examined the relationship between pedagogy and the popular mass media from ([6] Butler, 2000; [12] Maruri, 2012) and beyond [11] Dalton (2010). The image of the tea- cher provides thematic explorations of school culture, pedagogy, human rights, equality, race, gender, bullying, poverty, stereotyping, and power relations [7] Bulman (2005). The authors of the paper describe a case study which was carried out in a Post Baccalaureate Diploma in Education and Master of Education program at the Faculty of Education over a two-week period in August of 2013 with 24 pre-service public school teachers and technical college instructors.

Introduction

As far back as September 2009 the President and Vice-Chancellor of the University of Manitoba, David T. The portrayal of teachers in popular media and the need to examine the relationship between pedagogy and the popular mass media from Hollywood ([6] Butler, 2000; [12] Maruri, 2012) and beyond ([11] Dalton 2010; [13] Dalton, 1995) should be included in a teacher education course. Our response to the stereotypical portrayals was to take on the task of designing a unique Summer Institute course on the “Portrayal of Teachers in Popular Media” which was held at the Faculty of Education, University of Manitoba, Canada. Through exposure to two new, innovative courses entitled, “Portrayal of Teachers in Popular Media: theory, analysis and pedagogy” and “Portrayal of Teachers in Popular Media: production, art and technology,” the authors of this qualitative study report on how participants had an opportunity to explore the theory behind the rhetoric, and be better equipped to recognize how film works to communicate and inspire. Sample criteria for a designated assignment is shared with the reader
