The Ideology of Images in Educational Media: Hidden Curriculums in the Classroom

by Mariamne H. Whatley

Education text book. This book addresses a significant gap in the otherwise growing literature on hidden curriculums - the relationship between visual representation and the construction of knowledge in educational media. The contributors to this volume explode the myth that the accepted conventions of film, video, and photographic representation are mere neutral carriers devoid of content implications. Rather, they argue, such seemingly neutral forms actually inflect and shape content with particular meanings linked to historical contexts and unequal power relations.
