The Journal of Educational Media, Memory and Society (JEMMS)

Permanent URI for this collectionhttps://repository.gei.de/handle/11428/72

The Journal of Educational Media, Memory and Society (JEMMS) explores ways in which knowledge of past and present societies is constituted and conveyed via formal and informal educational media within and beyond schools. Its focus is on various types of texts and images found in textbooks, museums, memorials, films and digital media. Of particular interest are conceptions of time and space, image formation, forms of representation, as well as the construction of meaning and identity (ethnic, national, regional, religious, institutional and gendered). The contents of educational media may also be examined in relation to their production and appropriation in institutional, sociocultural, political, economic and historical contexts. The journal is international and interdisciplinary and welcomes empirically based contributions from the humanities and social sciences dealing with all aspects of educational media research, including STEM subjects (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) as well as theoretical and methodological studies.
Two years after publication, post-peer review pre-copy edited versions of articles will be made available on Edumeres for downloading. Official print versions are available on the website of Berghahn Journals.

    Perceptions du traitement de l’islam et du monde musulman dans les manuels d’histoire par des enseignants du secondaire au Québec
    (New York: Berghahn, 2014-01-08) Triki-Yamani, Amina; Mc Andrew, Marie; El Shourbagi, Sahar
    This article focuses on the ways in which Francophone Quebecois secondary 1 and 2 junior high school teachers adapt and transmit the treatment of Islam and the Muslim world in textbooks used for history and citizenship education. The authors focus on the teachers’ capacity to identify factual errors, stereotypes or ethnocentric biases concerning these questions. In order to do this, they analyze fourteen semi-structured interviews carried out with teachers on the island of Montreal, considering dimensions and indicators that relate to their relationship to the formal curriculum, as well as to scholarly and social knowledge of these issues. At the same time, we consider their relationship to the real curriculum or to scholarly knowledge as these are transmitted in real-life learning situations.
