Personal and social capability Learning in the Media Production and Analysis ATAR course promotes self-discipline, initiative, confidence, goal-setting, empathy and adaptability as students work individually and collaboratively. When working with others, media students develop and practise social skills that assist them to communicate effectively, work collaboratively, make considered group decisions and show leadership. Ethical understanding Ethical understanding is developed and applied in the Media Production and Analysis ATAR course when students encounter or create media that requires ethical consideration, such as media work that is controversial, involves a moral dilemma or presents a biased point of view. They actively engage in ethical decision making when reflecting on their own and others’ media work. Intercultural understanding Intercultural understanding in the Media Production and Analysis ATAR course assists students to explore new ideas, media and practices from diverse local, national, regional and global cultural contexts. Students are encouraged to demonstrate open-mindedness to perspectives that differ from their own and to appreciate the diversity of cultures and contexts in which artists and audiences live. Representation of the cross-curriculum priorities The cross-curriculum priorities address the contemporary issues which students face in a globalised world. Teachers may find opportunities to incorporate the priorities into the teaching and learning program for the Media Production and Analysis ATAR course. The cross-curriculum priorities are not assessed unless they are identified within the specified unit content. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories and cultures The study of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories and cultures enriches understanding of the diversity of media within Australia, analyses the stereotypes and perceived societal norms that media presents, and develops an appreciation of the need to respond to media work in ways that are culturally sensitive and responsible. Many Australian Indigenous media producers affirm connection with Country/Place, People and Culture through their media stories. Media created by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders exposes students to a view of the Australian landscape that is unique, expressive and personal. Asia and Australia's engagement with Asia Asia and Australia’s engagement with Asia provides rich, engaging and diverse contexts in which to investigate making and responding to media which have arisen from the rich and diverse cultures, belief systems and traditions of the peoples of the Asia region. Sustainability Sustainability provides engaging and thought-provoking contexts in which to explore the nature of media making and responding. It enables the investigation of the interrelated nature of social, economic and ecological systems.
