Study Notes
New Literacies and the Challenge of Mindsets
- 'New' literacies are linked to evolving mindsets, representing a transcendence where competing forces evolve into a new form.
- Mindsets are viewpoints, perspectives, or reference frames shaping how individuals/groups experience, interpret, and respond to the world. They comprise assumptions, beliefs, values, and ways of doing things.
- Mindsets can be fixed, preventing alternative perspectives, leading to a limited understanding.
- Physical-industrial perspectives contrast greatly with non-physical informational/post-industrial ones.
- A laptop computer’s value differs significantly depending on whether viewed through physical (material commodity) or digital (information content) lenses.
- Different mindsets influence responses to issues like internet censorship.
- Mindsets affect how people experience the world, influencing interpretation and responses to events.
Mindsets in Educational Settings
- The world is significantly different now than decades ago, largely due to technological advances and changing social practices.
- Contemporary experience includes both physical and digital/cyber space.
- 'Industrial' perspectives are giving way to 'post-industrial' ones, though the shift isn't a displacement in all cases.
- Mechanical aspects haven't been replaced by digital, and 'industrial' ways haven't been fully displaced by 'post-industrial' ones. However, significant shifts are underway.
- Geographic shift in industrial activity impacts industrial principles, yet they still exist in 'First' world sites.
- Shifting perspectives are seen in changing technology valuations and social responses to issues like online censorship.
