Data has become a defining issue of current times. Our everyday lives are shaped by the data that is produced about us (and by us) through digital technologies. In Critical Data Literacies: Rethinking Data and Everyday Life (MIT Press, 2023), Luci Pangrazio and Neil Selwyn introduce readers to the central concepts, ideas, and arguments required to make sense of life in the data age. Bringing together cutting-edge thinking and discussion from across education, sociology, psychology, and media and communication studies, Critical Data Literacies develops a powerful argument for collectively rethinking the role that data plays in our everyday lives and re-establishing agency, free will, and the democratic public sphere. In the episode, Luci Pangazio discusses how the tradition of critical literacies can offer a powerful foundation to address the big concerns of the data age, such as issues of data justice and privacy, algorithmic bias, dataveillance, and disinformation. We challenge the idea that datafication is an inevitable and inescapable condition. This interview was conducted by Shreya Urvashi, a doctoral researcher of sociology and education based in Toronto, Canada. Learn more about your ad choices.

As young children went back to school across Sweden in August, many of their teachers were putting a new emphasis on printed books, quiet reading time, and handwriting practice and devoting less time to tablets, independent online research, and keyboarding skills. The return to more traditional ways of learning is a response to politicians and experts questioning whether the country's hyper-digitalized approach to education, including the introduction of tablets in nursery schools, had led to a decline in basic skills. Swedish Minister for Schools Lotta Edholm announced in August in a statement that the government wants to reverse the decision by the National Agency for Education to make digital devices mandatory in preschools. It plans to go further and to completely end digital learning for children under age 6, the ministry also told The Associated Press. Some learning deficits may have resulted from the coronavirus pandemic or reflect a growing number of immigrant students who don't speak Swedish as their first language, but overuse of screens during school lessons may cause youngsters to fall behind in core subjects, education experts say. In a report published in August, UNESCO issued an “urgent call for appropriate use of technology in education.” The report urges countries to speed up internet connections at schools, but at the same time warns that technology in education should be implemented in a way so that it never replaces in-person, teacher-led instruction and supports the shared objective of quality education for all. To counter Sweden's decline in 4th grade reading performance, the Swedish government announced an investment worth 685 million kronor (60 million euros or $64.7 million) in book purchases for the country's schools this year. Another 500 million kronor will be spent annually in 2024 and 2025 to speed up the return of textbooks to schools. “The Swedish government does have a valid point when saying that there is no evidence for technology improving learning, but I think that's because there is no straightforward evidence of what works with technology,” Neil Selwyn, a professor of education at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia, said. “Technology is just one part of a really complex network of factors in education.” This article was provided by The Associated Press.

For today's episode, we'll be chatting with Neil Selwyn, who is a Distinguished Professor in the Faculty of Education at Monash University. An internationally recognized scholar, Neil's research focuses on digital education and technology. Neil's recent projects explore data in schooling, digital labor, AI technologies, and sustainability in educational technology.Links to recent works:Digital degrowth: toward radically sustainable education technology (2023) in Learning, Media, and Technologyhttps://doi.org/10.1080/17439884.2022.2159978The future of AI and education: Some cautionary notes (2022) in European Journal of Educationhttps://doi.org/10.1111/ejed.12532Ed-Tech Within Limits: Anticipating educational technology in times of environmental crisis (2021) in E-Learning and Digital Mediahttps://doi.org/10.1177/20427530211022951

The rise of digital technology is transforming the world in which we live. Our digitalized societies demand new ways of thinking about the social, and this short book introduces readers to an approach that can deliver this: digital sociology. In What is Digital Sociology (Polity, 2019), Neil Selwyn examines the concepts, tools and practices that sociologists are developing to analyze the intersections of the social and the digital. Blending theory and empirical examples, the five chapters highlight areas of inquiry where digital approaches are taking hold and shaping the discipline of sociology today. The book explores key topics such as digital race and digital labor, as well as the fast-changing nature of digital research methods and diversifying forms of digital scholarship. In this interview, Dr. Selwyn and I discuss the overarching question guiding this book: what is digital sociology? We go on to discuss how the classical figures in sociology wrote about, and engaged with, technology, the distinctiveness of contemporary digital sociology, key methodologies, and the research ethics related to digital sociological research. I highly recommend this book for students, professors, and anyone else interested in digital humanities, big data and computational methods, or science and technology studies. This would be a great book for both undergraduate and graduate courses related to digital media and social science. Dr. Neil Selwyn is a professor in the Faculty of Education at Monash University. His research and teaching focuses on the place of digital media in everyday life, and the sociology of technology (non)use in educational settings. Neil has written extensively on a number of issues, including digital exclusion, education technology policymaking and the student experience of technology-based learning.

ACER’s Research Conference took place this month with the theme – ‘Preparing students for life in the 21st century: Identifying, developing and assessing what matters’. In this episode, we’ll take you to the closing session of the conference – the ‘In Conversation’ between ACER CEO Professor Geoff Masters AO and Neil Selwyn, a Professor in the Faculty of Education at Monash University. We’ll share highlights from their discussion about what schooling might look like in 10 years’ time. Now, this session began directly after Neil delivered the conference’s Karmel Oration, so, as you’re going to hear a few references to that talk, it’s important I give you an understanding of what he discussed. Neil’s Oration was titled ‘On with the 21st century! Preparing Australian education for the 2020s and beyond.’ So, it’s clear from that title that he took the conference theme to heart. In particular, Neil focused on what education might look like in 2029. He spoke about how there are often three different kinds of predictions when we speak about predicting certain things for the future – the probable, possible and preferable – and how it’s important we try to stick to speaking about probable futures, rather than a future that is possible or preferable. This led him to speak about the role of an educator during the times of climate change, the rise of online education and how we can best prepare students for careers of the future.

Prof Bill Green (Charles Sturt University) has been described as “one of Australia’s most recognized education researchers” In this podcast, Bill talks to Neil Selwyn about his long career researching literacy, teacher education, curriculum history and rural education. Bill reflects on the need for persistence in education research, his fascination with social theory … as well as why academics tend to write badly (and what they can do about it).

In this Databite, Neil Selwyn works through some emerging headline findings from a new three year study of digital technology use in Australian high schools. In particular Neil highlights the ways in which schools' actual uses of technology often contradict presumptions of ‘connected learning', ‘digital education' and the like. Instead Neil considers… • how and why recent innovations such as maker culture, personalised learning and data-driven education are subsumed within more restrictive institutional ‘logics'; • the tensions of ‘bring your own device' and other permissive digital learning practices • how alternative and resistant forms of technology use by students tend to mitigate against educational engagement and/or learning gains; • the ways in which digital technologies enhance (rather than disrupt) existing forms of advantage and privilege amongst groups of students; • how the distributed nature of technology leadership and innovation throughout schools tends to restrict widespread institutional change and reform; • the ambiguous role that digital technologies play in teachers' work and the labor of teaching; • the often surprising ways that technology seems to take hold throughout schools – echoing broader imperatives of accountability, surveillance and control. The talk provides plenty of scope to consider how technology use in schools might be ‘otherwise', and alternate agendas to be pursued by educators, policymakers, technology developers and other stakeholders in the ed-tech space.

On Start the Week Andrew Marr explores the use of technology in education. Professor Sugata Mitra has installed an internet-connected PC in a slum in India and watched how curiosity leads children to learn together. Digital technology is increasingly used in schools but the educationalist Neil Selwyn questions whether this is a positive step. The writer Lynsey Hanley looks at how class is embedded in the education system and the former Headmaster at Eton, Tony Little, on his vision for the future of schooling. Producer: Katy Hickman.

Professor Neil Selwyn from Monash University talks with TER Podcast about the difference between the rhetoric and the reality of technology in education.
