Video as a key 21st century literacy
• Literacy:
• ‘comprehensive set of skills needed by individuals to learn, work, socially interact and cope with the needs of everyday life’
Mioduser et al. 20085

Video as a key 21st century literacy
• Low cost and little technological expertise
• Increasingly dominant form of communication
• >27% of American teens have filmed and uploaded video (Lenhart 2012)

Throughout the process:
• Learning through:
• Teaching others
• Engagement
• Collaboration
• Metaphors and storytelling

Did you say ‘metaphors’ and ‘storytelling’?
• Metaphor for the physical basis of the greenhouse effect??

Why media production and climate change education?
• Let’s start with a simple experiment: two headlines describing science in the news
12
![Page 13: Media Production as a Tool for Climate Change Education · 2014. 5. 26. · Media Production as a Tool for Climate Change Education Juliette Rooney-Varga, ... Overview • Why video](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022071421/611a3e7d84b93310393319fc/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
1. Human microbiome studies should include wider diversity of populations, experts warn.
2. The West Antarctic Ice Sheet has passed the point of no return and is undergoing collapse.

How does each statement make you feel?
Interested? Bored? Happy? Sad? Hopeful? Scared? Frustrated?

Affective response?

Rational/Analytic Emotional/Affective
Logical Intuitive
Abstract Vivid
– encodes reality in abstract symbols, words, numbers
– encodes reality in concrete images and narratives
– rules and algorithms need to be learned
– operates automatically and without any training
– system needs to be cued; does not operate automatically
Marx, 201215

Affective responses can even drive analytic processing
• When affective and analytic are in conflict, affective almost always trumps
• motivated reasoning: decision-making and beliefs that are driven by affective response (need to reduce cognitive dissonance)
• Delivering more information doesn’t solve the problem

People who believe cc is not happening estimate that 43% of
the public agrees with them
People who believe human-induced cc is occurring
estimate that only 40% of the public agrees with them

Both groups underestimate climate change belief
You walk into a classroom full of your peers.

Would you want to start talking about something that you think most of them disagree with?

Lessons from cognitive sciences
• Climate change education challenges include
• Affective responses that may help or hinder student learning
• Information delivery/science comprehension is not enough
• Social dissonance/learning matters

Media production to the rescue?
• Affective processing: narrative, visual images, elicit visceral response
• Collaboration, reflection, active engagement with material - social learning
• Learning through educating others
• Empowering students to contribute to ‘closing the gap’
• >> Potential for deeper learning and robust mental models??

In-class students (formal)
Societal discourse and informal education (95% of
science learning)
Student peers (informal)
Direct interactions with broader community
(family, friends) (informal)
Face-to-face events (formal/informal)
Online forums (formal/informal)
A bridge between formal and informal

“The video project was even more well-received than the World Climate experience.
“Many said they really loved the project and that it had been really eye-opening in terms of helping them learn how to communicate science ideas, and climate change in particular, to other people, especially those not inclined to believe in climate change to begin with.
“For the majority, the act of making the video had also increased their desire to get involved in climate change action.”

• “I feel that they are unbiased and the students are not trying to persuade us for monetary gain or popularity they are just interested in getting the information out there.”
• “The hard work and research these kids did in order to learn about the subject they were interested in and bring attention to the public with it was very inspirational.”

• Belief that climate change is happening (83% >> 93%) and caused mostly by human activities (5% >>52%)
• Identification of CO2 as a greenhouse gas (67% >> 90%)
• Understanding that CO2 emissions accumulate in the atmosphere and in terrestrial and marine sinks (27% >> 43%)
• Identification of key climate change impacts, such as rising sea levels, extreme weather, species extinctions (51% >> 81%)

Bring this approach into your work
• CAM website and online toolkit: cleannet.org/cce_media
• Use simple formats (PSA, animation, interviews) and partner with media center

Examples of CAM Resources
• PSA projects
• Video mash-up projects (little class time)
• Person-on-the-street (POS) interviews
• Animation projects
• Mock trailers, film essays, and music videos

PSA Projects
• Deliver a message and compel behavior change
• Communicate science to non-scientists
• Use storytelling, metaphor, emotion
• Effective for reaching beyond the classroom, service learning projects, culminating projects

Video mash-ups
• Research, write narration, find/create visual assets, edit into a coherent piece
• Minimize production time (no filming needed)
• Can be completed as a homework assignment
• Information-rich

• E.g., debunk false consensus effect and pluralistic ignorance

An invitation
• Media production:
• a tool to engage your students in cc content
• empower them to engage others
• a key literacy
• Leverage CAM tools (and help us make them better!)
