  • “Exploring Instagram Engagement Patterns among Electronic Media and Mass Communication Students at Pondicherry University: A Quantitative Study”

    In today’s digital age,
    social media platforms like Instagram play a significant role in communication
    and engagement among university students, particularly those studying fields
    such as Electronic Media and Mass Communication. This proposal outlines a quantitative
    research study aimed at understanding the attention span of students within the
    Department of Electronic Media and Mass Communication at Pondicherry University
    on Instagram. By analyzing their engagement patterns on this platform, we aim
    to gain insights into their digital behavior and preferences.
    Research Objectives:
    ·      
    To identify factors influencing Instagram
    engagement among students, such as content type, frequency of posts, and time
    of interaction.
    ·      
    To explore potential correlations between
    Instagram engagement and academic performance or other relevant variables.
    Research Question:
    1.    
    What is the average duration of time spent
    by students from the Department of Electronic Media and Mass Communication on
    Instagram per session?
    2.    
    How frequently do students interact with
    Instagram content posted by their peers or influencers?
    3.    
    How do students’ attention spans on
    Instagram vary across different types of content (e.g., images, videos, text
    posts)?
    4.    
    Does consuming content on Instagram help
    them in their academics being a Media student?
    Methodology:
    Participants:
    The study will involve students enrolled in the Department of Electronic Media
    and Mass Communication at Pondicherry University.
    Data Collection:
    Data will be collected using a combination of methods, including Instagram
    Insights (for understanding the type of content consumed by the students) and
    surveys/questionnaires (to gather demographic information and qualitative
    insights into engagement behavior).
    Sampling:
    A stratified random sampling technique will be employed to ensure
    representation from different academic years within the department.
    Data Analysis:
    Quantitative data analysis will involve presenting the collected data through
    google form in the form of pie charts and bar graphs to characterize Instagram
    engagement patterns and understanding the correlation between gender, age and
    aesthetic taste related to the content consumption and potential influencing
    factors.
    Significance:
    Understanding Instagram
    engagement among university students has implications for educational
    practices, social media marketing strategies, and digital communication
    efforts. The findings of this study may inform curriculum development, content
    creation strategies, and outreach initiatives tailored to the needs and
    preferences of students in this academic discipline.
    Conclusion:
    The proposed research
    aims to fill a gap in the literature by quantitatively analyzing Instagram
    attention span among Department of Electronic Media and Mass Communication
    students at Pondicherry University. By investigating their digital engagement
    behavior, this study seeks to provide insights that can inform both academic
    and practical endeavors in the realms of education, communication, and social
    media.

  • Title: “Unpacking Educational Criticism: A Dimensional Analysis of “Highland Park”

    Analysis of an Educational Criticism 
    Highland Park
    Analyze the reading above using the following guidelines. For this exercise it is not necessary to be overly concerned with format. Instead, the focus here should be to dig deeply into the criticism, pull it apart, and examine each of its four dimensions described by Eisner in chapter 5. Depending on the piece you choose and how to best use this analysis to help you understand how to build a criticism, you might choose to focus on a particular section of your reading, or you might choose to use small examples from different sections. Make it work for you. The only non-negotiable is APA citations to avoid plagiarism. 
    Provide 3-4 examples of each dimension and a brief explanation of your understanding of it as such. What makes you think it is an example of that dimension (3-5 sentences)?
    ·      Description – the “what”
    ·      Interpretation – the “why” or “how”
    ·      Evaluation – the assessment of quality
    ·      Thematics – the takeaway
    Please use the attachments as some of the sources, thanks.
