title: David Bowie and the Art of Music Video

authors: Perrott, Lisa

subjects: Art

abstract: The first in-depth study of David Bowie's music videos across a sustained period takes on interweaving storyworlds of an iconic career. Remarkable for their capacity to conjure elaborate imagery, Bowie's videos provide fascinating exemplars of the artistry and remediation of music video. When their construction is examined across several years, they appear as time-travelling vessels, transporting kooky characters and strange story-world components across time and space. By charting Bowie's creative and collaborative process across five distinct phases, David Bowie and the Art of Music Video shows how he played a vital role in establishing music video as an artform. Filling a gap in the existing literature, this book shines a light on the significant contributions of directors such as Mick Rock, Stanley Dorfman and David Mallet, each of whom taught Bowie much about how to use the form. By examining Bowie's collaborative process, his use of surrealist strategies and his integration of avant-garde art with popular music and media, the book provides a history of music video in relation to the broader fields of audiovisual media, visual music and art.

title: Novice teachers developing capabilities in the constructive use of summative assessment

authors: Edwards, Frances

subjects: constructive assessment

abstract: Preservice and beginner teachers need to build and develop summative assessment knowledge and skills in order to best gauge and measure student learning, as required by the education system. It is also beneficial if they can use the information they collect through summative assessment and grading to inform pedagogical decision making. The focus of this paper is the nature and development of novice teachers’ capabilities to use summative assessment constructively. This paper reports on a study that tracked eight teachers over an 18-month period as they completed an initial teacher education program and then started working as qualified teachers. Findings describe the features of teacher beliefs and capabilities as they moved to being able to use summative assessment and grades to inform adjustments to their teaching programs in constructive ways for the benefit of their students. Fundamental beliefs about assessment, as well as careful reflection, particularly during their early teaching experiences notably influenced their approach to using summative assessment constructively.

title: An analysis of the rhetorical organisation of selected authentic Maori texts belonging to the text-types argument and information report

authors: Houia-Roberts, Ngaere

subjects: Te reo Māori

abstract: I report here on the findings of an analysis of the overall rhetorical structure of authentic Māori texts belonging to two different text-types – argument and information report – which were written by highly competent users of the language. I also suggest ways in which this type of analysis could underpin the development of teaching resources designed for Māori-medium educational settings.
