In an attempt to provide teachers and library media specialists with a more student-centered approach to media production, this model consists of six stages where students collaboratively learn to produce media messages. Based on five-years of research in k-16, this model provides a roadmap for curriculum design, assessment, and pedagogy that focuses on a student's cognitive, social, and emotional learning process.
What is the Hive model?
Like in a beehive, a media production class is collaborative, task-oriented, intense, and have its own order in what looks to an outsider as chaotic. This playful learning process is the basis of this spiral model that demystify the process of learning to produce media.
