Grab the Mic: Connecting theory and practice within an undergraduate sport communication course

Experiential learning within sport management classrooms provides valuable industry experience to complement theoretical knowledge. Content creation is a valuable skill for sport management students, particularly those who are looking to work within media and marketing spaces after graduation. Therefore, sport communication undergraduate students at a large research-intensive institution in the Midwest of the United States participated in a podcast creation project for their sport communication class. The experiential learning opportunity provided students with the opportunity to collaborate with a classmate to write, record, and edit a podcast episode under the umbrella of the department's podcast show. This gave the students valuable experience in creating content for professional consumption. The project received positive feedback from students on skill development and the benefits of collaboration, while also discussing the challenges associated with the time demands of the project.

VIDEO PODCAST (VODCAST) – PEDAGOGICAL IMPLEMENTATION OF THE CREATIVE STRATEGY “CREATING YOUR OWN DIGITAL CONTENT”

The study examines the use of videocasting as a specific form of the “learner-generated videos” pedagogical strategy and its impact on the three main areas of learning – knowledge, skills, and attitudes. The benefits for the knowledge and skills, and in general for the cognitive behavioral experience that the learners acquire through such contextualized and active actions, are proven by numerous studies and were naturally reconfirmed in the current video podcast creation process. Therefore, the present study focuses on the learners’ attitudes (without neglecting the first two – knowledge and skills), how they evaluate their experience, and the value of the specific pedagogical tool. In this activity, the teacher’s assumption was confirmed that the video podcast created by the students is an active, interesting, engaging, and motivating form for them to acquire and consolidate several valuable skills, which will give them practical experience in situ, a sense of meaningful learning, authenticity, autonomy, collaboration, and confidence in their subsequent professional realization.

CRAFTING A SURVEY INSTRUMENT FOR EDUCATIONAL PODCASTS: INTEGRATING TECHNOLOGY IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEACHING ENHANCEMENT

One technology that is increasingly popular in education is podcasts, which present an engaging and accessible format for delivering learning material. Despite their popularity, there is a lack of research on measuring instruments for educational podcasts. This study aims to produce a valid questionnaire to assess students' perspectives on educational podcast creation in the context of integrating technology in English language teaching. By reviewing the literature, four important aspects of educational podcast creation were identified. The research resulted in 60 statements covering these key aspects. The validity of the instrument was tested through assessments by English language education experts, producing valid results. The validation process involved evaluating statement items qualitatively, considering relevance, feasibility, and suitability to the research objectives. This instrument is expected to contribute significantly to improving English language learning through technology and student collaboration.

Evaluation of the creation of podcasts for instructional delivery in a post-graduate training elective course

ObjectivesTo describe the creation of podcasts for instructional delivery and evaluate strengths and areas for improvement in a post-graduate training (PGT) elective course. MethodsAfter creating a podcast series, students in the PGT elective from Spring 2021 to Fall 2022 listened to the series then completed a reflection based on five open-ended questions that provoked their thoughts and feelings about use of podcasts as a method of delivering information and teaching. Responses were downloaded and a content analysis was performed. Each investigator analyzed responses from all reflections to identify major themes and subthemes. Letter of intent assignment and overall course grades were compared to assess if podcasts affected student learning. ResultsNinety-one students provided reflections about the use of podcasts in the PGT elective course, which revealed three major themes with 13 subthemes, including perception of guests, learner experience, and show and episode production. Students appreciated the various perspectives, authenticity, relatability, and diversity of the guest speakers; the learning environment was described as flexible, relatable, positive, and a safe space; the podcast design was noted to be informative, organized, and easily accessible. Areas for improvement included more interaction with guests and more visuals. Letter of intent assignment and overall course grades were similar before and after podcast implementation. ConclusionThe use of podcasts as an educational tool in a PGT elective course had a variety of characteristics that students preferred to traditional lecture-style classes.

Podcast Creation In/As Teacher Education and Self-Study

ABSTRACT This article explores a collaborative teacher self-study in which two teacher educators/podcasters, inquired personally and collectively into the possibilities for podcasts in/as teacher education. Extending framings of podcasts to include more than content-transmission or replacement of previous texts or pedagogical practices, we further theorize the social, exploratory, and most importantly, (co)creative, within the process of making podcasts in/as teacher education. We wonder about how and why podcasting, informed by self-study practices, might support the articulation, questioning, returning to, and (re)inventing of professional identities within teacher education. This article-as-podcast enmeshes our findings and discussion as different ‘episodes’ to first share our methods, and then detail the concept of informality in podcasting and teacher education, and to explore the power of polyvocality. Finally, we end with some provocations for the reader – questions and wonderings about the ways in which the process of podcasting might prompt building relationality between a range of audiences to create space for teachers’ imaginings of themselves and what it means to teach.

Student podcasting for teaching-learning at university

There is currently little research on the use of podcasting as a learning tool in the tertiary-level foreign language classroom. Here we attempt to partly fill that gap through a multiple case study of three university teachers who use this technology in their courses in Spanish as a foreign language. We obtained data for analysis primarily in two ways, through individual interviews with the teachers on two separate occasions and by compiling a corpus of all the podcasts (227 in total) the three teachers had used in their classes, most of them student-created. Given this last fact, our analysis focuses especially on the creation of podcasts by the students and the teacher’s role in the process. Our findings show that podcasting as an educational tool can offer significant benefits for language learning. Student-produced podcasts, in particular, provide students with a context to practice their foreign language speaking skills but also reading and writing skills are also heavily engaged in the process of writing a script for what they will say in their podcast. The production of podcasts can also be highly motivating for students if the final product is posted online on an open-access host site; this means that native speakers of the target language could be among the potential listeners. On the downside, the process of having students produce podcasts requires considerable time and preparation on the part of both teachers and students, and students who are shy or less comfortable with technology may find the task challenging.

Exploring Resident Motivation with a Podcast Creation Activity: A Qualitative Study.

As the field of digital education expands, it is important to understand the benefit to the creator of such resources as well as the user. This study sought to understand the resident's experience with writing a medical podcast script in contrast to creating lecture-based teaching presentations. We aimed to explore the motivation behind the resident's voluntary participation and provide an example and framework to residency programs looking to enhance their resident as teacher curricula with the use of digital education. Using constructivist grounded theory, residents who completed a podcast script for "The Intern at Work," a learner-generated podcast series, were recruited to partake. Focus groups were recorded, transcribed, and coded iteratively with the use of constant comparison until theoretical sufficiency was achieved. Residents (n = 12) described three key factors of the podcast development activity that fostered learner motivation: (1) Driving Interest: residents were excited to use a novel outlet to teach; (2) Self-Directed Process: residents appreciated the opportunity for collaboration and flexibility; (3) Appreciable Benefit: residents identified several self-gains. Our findings provide an example of an innovative teaching activity that intrinsically motivated residents. Such information has the potential to inform program leaders on how to foster resident motivation to teach.

Pemanfaatan Podcast sebagai Media Dakwah di Era Digital

Podcasts are one of the many social media platforms that are growing rapidly. According to Fadilah (2017), podcasts are defined as online audio or video content that can be downloaded automatically to computers and smartphones for free or by subscription. This podcast content is a news source for internet-based radio broadcasts. The success of using podcast media for preaching can be seen from Ali Jaber and Habib Husain Jaffar Al Hadar. This research is descriptive qualitative research. The data source was obtained from searches of various podcast service provider sites and several previously existing related studies. Data was collected using documentation techniques and analyzed using the Huberman and Miles concept, namely through data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions and verification. In 2005, podcasts began to gain popularity in Indonesia. On his weblog, Boy Avianto created his first podcast entitled "Any Podcast". Three years later, Soundcloud, an easier-to-use podcast creation and listening platform, was introduced. Podcasts have their own advantages in terms of communication and information because they are a medium that is currently continuing to develop to meet the needs of its audience. This can provide an opportunity for preachers to broadcast their da'wah using podcasts as a platform. Utilization of Podcasts as a Da'wah Media As a medium that is currently experiencing development in pampering its audience, podcasts also have their own advantages both in communication and information. One proof of the use of podcasts as a medium for da'wah is the many positive comments made by netizens, how they really enjoy and feel the preaching carried out by Habib Ja'far, even though from afar, one of the positive comments made is from the account @qyubayakustik9166 "We really grateful to be able to know Habib Ja'far in today's digital era, who explains knowledge that is easy to understand, stay healthy, Habib."

Finally, the research touches upon regulation and standardization in podcasting, examining the freedom of expression afforded by this relatively unregulated medium compared to traditional media forms. Overall, this study provides valuable insights into the emerging podcasting landscape in the UAE and sets the stage for future research exploring the motivations and challenges faced by individual creators and podcast networks in the region.

Hunting for Pearls: A Qualitative Analysis of the Reflections of Students Creating Psychiatric Podcasts.

This paper aims to explore medical student experiences of creating a peer-to-peer psychiatry educational podcast. During psychiatry placement, ten year-4 University of Bristol medical students created peer-educational multi-episode podcasts on psychiatric topics. Following completion, they submitted reflective essays on their experiences. Qualitative thematic analysis of these essays was completed by two independent authors. Following data familiarisation, authors independently generated codes that were collated into relevant themes. Upon reaching thematic saturation, findings were collated, and member checking was carried out to confirm the validity of findings. Themes included effective preparation, choosing content, podcast production, enhancing learning, the weight of responsibility and creating educational support networks. All students found podcast creation to be beneficial for personal learning. Exploration of students' experiences creating podcasts can support clearer guidance for medical podcast production, providing opportunities for educators to optimise podcast creation efficiency and educational effectiveness.

Los podcasts y su importancia en la educación superior; una revisión documental.

In the era of globalization, we find different digital tools that have contributed to the evolution of the internet, allowing the user to become an active entity that produces and transmits information. Podcasts are digital audio recordings that are an excellent teaching and learning tool for creating and disseminating academic content. The objective of this bibliographic research is to compare educational experiences on the use of podcasts in higher education. The methodology used is hermeneutic, an exhaustive selection of articles and research papers was made that responded to the following criteria: in Spanish or English, having been published in the last 10 years, the articles must be national and international research and be focused on higher education. The following search pages and databases were used: Google Scholar, Dialnet and Scielo; using the keywords: "ICT", "higher education", "academia" and "podcast". The main findings indicated that podcast design demands from the student, planning, creativity and eloquence in what they want to express. In addition, elderly people are less likely to use digital tools, therefore, the teacher needs to become familiar with the creation of podcasts since it facilitates the understanding of academic content from different areas of knowledge. In conclusion, podcast production helps the development of superior skills in students and are digital tools compatible with asynchronous learning.

Student-led podcasts to enhance literature evaluation skills

Background and purposeCritical evaluation and understanding of primary literature is essential to pharmacy practice. This project evaluated student confidence and learning outcomes in a critical care elective course where podcasts were used as an active learning assignment for literature evaluation. Educational activity and settingThird-year pharmacy students created a 15- to 20-min podcast episode that reviewed a landmark critical care trial. A pre/post survey was used to assess student perceptions of confidence in evaluating primary literature. A standardized rubric was used to assess literature evaluation skills in several domains. FindingsNinety-two third-year pharmacy students were enrolled in the critical care elective course, and 93% (86 of 92) completed the survey. Student perceptions of their ability to evaluate literature improved for all seven questions, including comfort in interpreting study methodology and applying findings of literature to patient care. Students scored proficient on most components of the standardized rubric, with ability to discuss results and conclusions being the lowest performing domain (78.2% fully proficient). After completing the activity, students felt more confident in interpreting results, applying findings, and orally presenting a journal article to peers. Most students felt the podcast activity helped them strengthen their literature evaluation skills and recommended this activity to a peer. SummaryThird-year pharmacy students reported an improvement in confidence in the interpretation and application of primary literature after creating a podcast episode reviewing a critical care trial. Additional research with creation of podcasts or other audio/visual methods should be studied in the future.

Enhancing Collaborative Learning in Higher Education through Podcast Production: An Experiential Approach with Anthropology and Tourism Students

The podcast in higher education is becoming widespread as a pedagogical tool that empowers students to take ownership of their own learning. In this article, we analyze a didactic experience carried out with undergraduate students at the Complutense University of Madrid and reflect on its potential for the development of curriculum content and student competencies. Using both quantitative and qualitative anthropological methodologies, we documented the process of podcast creation of undergraduate students by comparing their learning outcomes with those of students who received podcasts only as subject materials but did not engage in any creative process. Data from participant observation were supplemented with questionnaires administered to the same groups of students. The main findings indicate that the use of podcasts enhances the motivation and involvement of students in the learning process, helping them to relate in a meaningful way and to better understand theoretical content.

Pendampingan Desain Studio Podcast Untuk Peningkatan Workstation Productivity Di SMKS Al-Ittihad Cianjur

Since its introduction in 2005, podcasts have gained increasing popularity and widespread usage across various sectors. Apart from serving as a form of entertainment that shares the characteristic of proximity, similar to radio, podcasts have also emerged as an educational media, attracting a growing number of enthusiasts. The education sector has recently embraced podcasts as a tool to enhance the development of skills and abilities in podcast creation, ultimately leading to improved workstation productivity. The activities are designed based on the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation) for media development. The implementation of these activities includes the introduction and installation of podcasting equipment, as well as providing tutorials on the usage of podcast recording software. Reflecting on the content presented, practical exercises are conducted, wherein students assume the role of operators, while teachers act as podcasters delivering subject-specific material aligned with the subjects they teach.

PEDAGOGICAL CONDITIONS OF CREATING PODCASTS AS A MEANS OF DEVELOPING LANGUAGE

Research problem. Most of the podcasts were created by native speakers in the countries of the language being studied, therefore, they not only represent the sociocultural reality of the country of the language being studied and demonstrate a combination of verbal and non-verbal codes of foreign language communication, but also contain information related to the professional activities of future specialists and show the functioning of the language as a means of professional communication. Methodology, methods and techniques: analysis of literary sources on the problem of pedagogical conditions for the creation of podcasts that help future guides get settled, more likely to integrate into a society with a market economy, consciously andfully learn the culture of other peoples, better understand world problems. Results: competence in the field of media. To work with podcasts, basic computer skills must be formed: the ability to download files from the Internet, edit and recode if necessary.

Podcasts in Production: An Examination of Current and Best Practices for Agricultural and Natural Resource Podcast Producers

Little research has been done on the production and use of podcasts in the fields of food, agriculture, natural resource, or human sciences (FANRHS). Currently, there is limited information for best practices on creating an effective FANRHS podcast to reach a target public audience. The purpose of this study was to examine existing practices and experiences of FANRHS podcast producers. The findings of this study will be of interest to organizations, institutions, and individuals who currently produce or are interested in producing an educational or science-based podcast. This study provided foundational information on podcast creation and maintenance. Future research should explore optimal podcast formats and content design to influence listeners’ perception and knowledge level on FANRHS science topics.

Introducing Audio Podcasts into a Practical Laboratory Course for Pharmacy Students as a Novel Tool for Performance Assessment.

The use of digital tools can positively impact higher education for both scholars and faculty. In recent years, it has become apparent that podcasts are a suitable medium for use in teaching. They are provided almost exclusively by lecturers for students, with students passively listening to them rather than actively participating in their production. However, this could also be valuable for students. Therefore, this pilot study investigated the extent to which the creation of a podcast would be accepted by students as a method for capturing pharmacy students’ understanding of the learning content. The evaluation was performed as part of the “Clinical Chemistry” practical course, which was attended by third-year pharmacy students in groups of three. After passing the station dealing with practical clinical chemistry relevant diagnostic systems, the groups were asked to produce an educational podcast covering the essential content on the topics of urine test strips or pulse oximetry, respectively. Student attitudes toward the adoption of podcasts as a tool for performance assessment were determined with an anonymous and voluntary survey. The respondents reported that they had fun creating the podcast, which enabled them to look at the instructional content from a different perspective. Competencies such as social and communication skills and media literacy as well as self-organized and self-directed learning were also promoted. However, the students assumed that the tool is not ideally suited for dealing with extensive topics. Nonetheless, the students clearly support the continued creation of podcasts as a performance assessment tool. In addition, they suggest integrating podcasts into other courses within the pharmacy curriculum. This may also be related to the infrequent use of novel technologies, such as podcasts, in their education thus far.
