29. The Ideology of Computer Literacy in Schools.

Author

Mangan, J. Marshall

Abstract

This research project brings a critical perspective to the examination of computer literacy as an ideological form through a study of the reactions of high school teachers and students. On-site interviews with teachers and students found both acceptance of and resistance to the message of adjustment to an inevitable future of vocational and marketplace automation. It is concluded that, while the trend toward technologizing the schools cannot and should not be halted, teachers themselves should become more critical of the purposes of computerized education and begin to insist on a more serious role in defining and directing the appropriate use of information technology in their classrooms. Possible new directions for educational policy are suggested, including: ameliorating the myth of inevitability of automation; realistically portraying future job markets that will demand a minority of jobs requiring intensive computer knowledge and the bulk of jobs requiring a minimal ability to work with computers as tools; applying a more focused, lower level of computer use instead of a broad-based computer literacy program; ensuring a combination of high-technology learning aids with meaningful human interaction in order to further the development of complete human beings; critically questioning the acceptance of computer literacy; and allowing an equal right to a place in school and society for those students who find they do not get along well with computers.

31. School Expenditure and School Performance: Evidence from New South Wales Schools Using a Dynamic Panel Analysis

Author

Pugh, G., Mangan, J., Blackburn, V., and Radicic, D.

Abstract

This article estimates the effects of school expenditure on school performance in government secondary schools in New South Wales, Australia over the period 2006-2010. It uses dynamic panel analysis to exploit time series data on individual schools that only recently has become available. We find a significant but small effect of expenditure on relative school performance and significant dynamics in the school improvement process. In addition, our estimates support previous studies in suggesting that the size of schools is an important factor in their performance. Regarding methods for analysing school expenditure effects, this article argues the relevance of a dynamic specification for the investigation of school performance and recommends a continuing research agenda using panel data and dynamic models.

33. 'Hot', 'Cold' and 'Warm' Information and Higher Education Decision-Making

Author

Slack, K., Mangan, J., Hughes, A., and Davies, P.

Abstract

This paper draws on the notions of "hot" and "cold" knowledge in analysing the responses of students to the relevance of different information and sources of such information in university choice. Analysis of questionnaire and focus group data from prospective and first-year undergraduate students provides evidence that many students put most credence on "hot" knowledge, from persons in their social grapevine. However, this is supplemented by "warm" knowledge from fleeting acquaintances at university open days. University provided knowledge is often distrusted. We discuss the implications of this given the recent government emphasis in England on the role of information provision in helping students to make informed decisions, including the relevance to the "fair access" agenda.
