1) The document describes a study that measured the media literacy levels of collegiate journalism students and non-journalism students through a survey.
2) The study found that journalism students scored higher than non-journalism students on media literacy knowledge, but still scored less than half of the total points available.
3) Within journalism majors, news/editorial majors scored the highest on media literacy knowledge compared to other journalism specializations like public relations.
Three Studies on Supplementing Survey Data with Active DataStephanie Eckman
As survey costs increase and response rates decrease, researchers are looking to alternative methods to collect data from study subjects. Passive data are data collected from subjects without posing questions and recording responses. Examples are passive data are: location data collected from smartphones; applications installed on smartphones; activity data from fitness devices such as fitbits. Because they are collected without subject involvement, passive data may offer a way to reduce the burden born by our research subjects while also allowing us to collect high quality data needed for social science research. However, preliminary research into how to collect and analyze passive data is needed. In this talk, I present three research studies which use passive data to improve the quality and/or reduce the burden of survey data. The talk will focus on what we have learned and what research remains to be done.

What would you do for those you love? Imagine being forced to leave everything behind, venturing into a new world where you sell your body for sex in the hope of providing for your family. You leave for a garment factory job with the hope of sending money home, but learn the conditions are unlivable. If you want a better future, or perhaps just survive, it seems the only solution is to have sex for a paycheck. Thousands of Cambodian girls, teens, and women work in the sex industry. This session explores the feasibility of a mHealth SRH education intervention targeted at reducing their HIV risk. In 2013, the number of mobile subscribers reached 20 million, 5 million more than the population. This affords a new, unique medium of private, inexpensive information dissemination.

Media Literacy and Civic Engagement in the Context of Ability GroupingRenee Hobbs
Renee Hobbs and Hans Martens report research about media literacy and civic engagement in the context of ability grouping in a U.S. high school. Presentation at Digital Media and Learning Conference, San Francisco, March 3, 2012.
Opinion polls companies are major stakeholders, if not actors, in the 2013 General Election campaigns.
Polls are regularly reported and commented on in the media. They are an inseparable part of news coverage as there is no more accurate way to gauge the sentiments of the voters, at a given time, than through a carefully designed and executed opinion poll.
But polls are also criticized, especially by political party leaders who disregard results that do not favor them and by some civil society actors who say they promote a two-horse race campaign. The situation has forced opinion poll researchers and company managers to appear on political TV and radio shows to defend their methodology, and their integrity.
Kenyans can remember that in the run up to the 2007 General Election, the media’s lack of capacity to contextualize and analyze data led to confusion when the results didn’t match predictions. The media had failed to explain the difference between polling data and election results.
Internews in Kenya recently trained a group of radio journalists to improve the use, analysis and reporting of opinion polls. Over 25 journalists were taught to scrutinize the methodology of different polling firms.
When has a poll been conducted according to accepted professional standards? When does a poll’s findings have legitimate news value? What is an appropriate way to publish or broadcast newsy poll findings?
Internews in Kenya Democracy and Governance Programs Director Brice Rambaud responds in the following Power Point presentation.

BIOMETRICS IN THE UNITED STATES 31
Methodology
Data Collection Technique
The study was conducted in two parts. The first part of the study was an intensive
literature review of the existing biometrics literature to learn what other researchers have
identified as impacts to biometrics acceptance. Additionally, the literature review identified
previous surveys that researchers had conducted and those surveys and their results were used to
develop the second part of the study.
The second part of the study was an anonymous online survey that was designed to
collect and analyze participants’ opinions of biometrics and their thoughts on acceptable uses of
the technology. The survey was created and administered using Google’s forms functionality on
Google Docs. The survey consisted of five demographic questions, 19 multiple choice
quantitative questions, and four fill-in-the-blank qualitative questions. The results of the survey
were compiled in Google Docs using their spreadsheet functionality. A copy of the survey
questions is included in this report as Appendix A.
The five demographic questions were multiple choice and designed to gather information
such as the age of the participant, level of education, gender, and experience with biometrics.
This data was used in the analysis to identify differences in opinions based on demographic
characteristics. Additionally, the demographic information was used to compare the sample
makeup to the overall population of the United States in order to validate the results of the
survey. The 19 quantitative questions were divided into five separate groups of questions
designed to gather data for different aspects of the study. Each question had five answers for the
participant to choose from. The first section consisted of four multiple choice questions
designed to measure the participants level of comfort with using biometrics technology in the
BIOMETRICS IN THE UNITED STATES 32
different situations in each question. The participants chose between the five answer options of
very comfortable, somewhat comfortable, unsure, somewhat uncomfortable, or very
uncomfortable. The second section consisted of five questions with the same options for the
participants to choose from as the first section. This section was designed to measure the
participants’ level of comfort with different biometric modalities. The third section consisted of
four questions designed to measure the participants’ acceptance with different uses of biometrics.
The participants chose between the five answer options of very acceptable, somewhat acceptable,
unsure, somewhat unacceptable, or very unacceptable. The fourth section consisted of four
questions with the same answer categories as the third section. This section was designed to
measure the participants’ level of acceptance with different implementations of biometrics
technologies. The fifth secti ...

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

3. The Definition:
“…the ability of a citizen to access, analyze, and
produce information for specific outcomes.”
- The Aspen Institute National Leadership Conference on Media Literacy
“A media literate person – and everyone should
have the opportunity to become one – can
decode, evaluate, analyze, and produce both
print and electronic media.”
- Aufderheide (2001, pg. 79)
4. The Questions:
1) What is the media literacy knowledge level of
collegiate journalism students?
2) How does the media literacy knowledge level
of journalism students compare to that of non-
journalism students?
6. The Justification:
1) Journalism students should have a thorough
understanding of the media industry upon
graduation.
2) Effective media literacy education for
journalists can impact our democracy.
3) This study could help guide future efforts to
provide media literacy education for journalism
students.
7. The Theory:
•Potter’s Cognitive Theory of Media Literacy (2004)
•Defines the process of becoming media literate in three
parts:
•Knowledge structures must be developed.
•Continually develop knowledge structures and applying
critical thinking toward media messages.
•Media literacy must have a purpose.
•Social Construction Theory
(Berger & Luckmann, 1966)
8. The Methodology:
From the literature review, seven primary criterion
of a media literate individual were identified:
1) Awareness of media’s impact on the
individual and society
2) Understanding the media system & how it
works
3) Information processing and critical
thinking
9. The Methodology, continued:
4) Awareness of media’s social
constructionist role
5) Increased enjoyment or appreciation of
media content
6) Knowledge of media’s role within the First
Amendment
7) Continual development as mental
maturity increases
10. The Methodology, continued:
To test those criterion, a media literacy survey
was developed based on research by Potter
(1998) and Thayer (2007).
The researcher surveyed for all the criterions
except #7, continual development.
11. The Methodology, continued:
The researcher used e-mail and direct classroom
recruitment for the sampling method.
- e-mails sent via departmental listservs + visits to
selected, consenting classrooms
Surveymonkey.com used to host the survey for e-
mail responses.
Codebook developed by the researcher to input
paper-survey responses into SPSS.
12. The Survey:
•53 total test items
•Combination of multiple choice, yes-no, scale,
and open-ended questions.
•Questions about prior knowledge of media
literacy:
•“How many courses have you had which have
discussed media literacy?”
•“Define media literacy to the best of your ability.”
13. The Survey, continued:
•Questions about media usage & engagement:
•“How many hours do you spend consuming media
per day?”
•“Have you ever written a letter to the editor of a
newspaper?”
14. The Survey, continued:
•Questions to test the criterion of a media literate
individual included:
•“Which government agency monitors broadcasters?”
•“I know more about the media than other students
because of my major.”
•“ I often find out about social trends through the
media.”
•“Which of the following camera shots conveys the
most emotional drama?”
15. The Demographics:
•291 respondents to the survey
•125 majors in the Journalism & Broadcasting
department, 166 majors from other departments.
•45.4% male, 54% female, .6% no response
•44.3% Freshmen, 22% Sophomore, 18.6%
Juniors, 14.8% Seniors, .3% no response
16. The Demographics, continued:
Of the 125 Journalism & Broadcasting dept.
majors,
* 18.5% News/Editorial
* 14.5% Broadcasting
* 41.9% Public Relations
* 8.9% Advertising
* 16.1% Sports Media
*.8% No Response
17. The Statistical Tests:
•Independent Samples T-Tests to compare the
Journalism majors with the non-journalism
majors.
•One-Way ANOVA to compare scores between
Journalism majors based on their degree
sequence.
•Cronbach’s Alpha to establish the reliability of
the scale.
18. The Results:
Reliability Analysis removed the test items
designed to test the criterion Media’s Impact,
which left five criterion to analyze.
Journalism majors reported taking more courses
(2-3 courses) that discussed media literacy than
non-journalism majors (0-1 courses).
19. The Results, continued:
Journalism majors reported spending more time
per day and per week consuming media than
non-journalism majors.
Journalism majors reported using multiple media
sources at a time more often than non-journalism
majors.
Journalism majors reported engaging more with
media sources than non-journalism majors.
20. The Results, continued:
On the knowledge portion of the survey,
Journalism majors (M=6.25) had more correct
responses than non-journalism majors (M=3.33).
This result was statistically significant.
- These results supported the Hypothesis
21. The Results, continued:
{HOWEVER}
The survey’s range was 0-14, meaning that
while journalism majors scored better than non-
journalism majors, they still scored less than half
the points available.
22. The Results, continued:
On the knowledge portion of the survey,
News/editorial majors scored the highest (M=7.74);
This was significantly different from one other major – Public
Relations (M=5.54).
On the remaining criterion,
Journalism majors scored significantly higher than non-
journalism students on all criterion except Information
Processing
23. The Limitations:
•44.3% of the respondents were Freshmen, thus
not as far along in their media education.
•Advertising and Sports Media majors appeared
to share more similarities with non-journalism
majors.
•The scale for this study suffered from reliability
issues, which eliminated one criterion and some
key questions designed to measure variables for
others.
24. The Future?
•Research to understand the relationship
between media consumption and engagement
levels?
•Research to understand if journalism majors use
media for a different social construction role than
non-journalism majors?
•Similar research to examine other media-related
majors, such as film studies?
