PURPOSE AND RATIONALE OF THE QUALIFICATION 
Purpose:

Learners who complete the qualification will be prepared to assume responsibilities in a selected focus area in the domain of media communications within their chosen area of specialisation, as well as be positioned to further their learning in other aspects of media from a vantage point of a solid foundational understanding of the structures, operations, and legislative framework specific of the broader media environment, the use and application of media technology, and inter-active related media disciplines in this dynamic industry. This qualification aims at equipping learners with general knowledge about a range of media practices, that is Public Relations, Advertising, Journalism, Audio-visual and Radio.

A qualifying learner who has achieved this qualification will be able to use media specific science and technology, understand the mutual influence between culture and media and will have gained adequate knowledge and reflexive competence to assume job responsibilities at entry level in the areas of radio and broadcasting, audiovisual communication, journalism and public relations, and will be able to make a contribution to the addressing of transformation in the media environment through the application of creative thinking and a sound understanding of the operational environment.

Depending on the area of specialisation selected recipients of this qualification will be able to operate in the following environments, in particular with the view of further specialisation in the chosen area of operation:
  • The printed or electronic media environment.
  • The radio broadcasting environment.
  • The Audiovisual environment.
  • The Advertising environment.
  • The Public Relations environment.

    Rationale:

    The media communications environment is a multi disciplinary environment relying in particular on the presentation of specific modes of communication for specific purposes, to a specific audience, in a specific format, either in writing, through sound or visual stimuli or a combination of audio, visual and written communication.

    Communication within the media environment takes place through a variety of disciplines; which are often inter-related in use and application. These include:
  • Journalism.
  • Advertising.
  • Marketing.
  • Public Relations.
  • Radio broadcasting.
  • Audio-visual broadcasting.
  • Internet journalism.

    Technology and target audience maturity requires that the individual operating in the media communications environment has a good foundational understanding of not only communication, but also the inter-relatedness, use and application of the disciplines providing services in the media environment in order to function effectively within the media environment, regardless of the specific discipline selected for specialisation.

    The National Diploma: Media Practices has been planned and developed as an entry level undergraduate qualification for utilisation by a wide-spread, national audience envisaging a career in the multi-facetted, inter-disciplinary sector of media communication in which additional opportunities are emerging as a result of the continuous equating and recognition of the cultural and linguistic diversity in South Africa.

    The structure of the qualification enables adequate preparation of the individual to enter the media communications sector in a chosen area of interest, as it establishes the necessary knowledge, understanding, abilities and skill as a coherent set of generic competencies forming the foundation for further specialization and application in a particular discipline or area of interest, whilst ensuring a good understanding and grasp of the inter-related nature of the media communications environment.

    In the main, those intending to become employed in the area of media communication would be most likely to be attracted to this qualification. It is aimed particularly at individuals interested in further specialisation and progression in the areas of audiovisual, graphics, journalism and the interdisciplinary areas of advertising and public relations, all recognised as areas where communication skills are applied extensively.

    This qualification has been developed to allow both vertical and horizontal articulation and supports the NQF objectives of access, redress and a culture of lifelong learning whilst enabling the addressing of past imbalances to further equity in the media communications environment in South Africa.

    Integrated Assessment:

    Assessment will require evidence of integration within the context of the operational environment in which the foundational, practical and reflexive competencies will be applied.

    Well designed assessments and the use of a selection of assessment methods should make it possible to gain evidence against the exit level outcomes and associated assessment criteria while at the same time gain evidence of the integration of knowledge and skill. They must therefore judge the quality of observable performance and the quality of the knowledge underpinning demonstrated competency.

    The use and application of communication skills as well as creative thinking, the gathering of information, research and creative output forms an integral part of the application of any of the selected functional focus areas, as does the comprehension of the operational environments in which activities take place.

    These competencies are thus by necessity integrated in the demonstration of competence requirements for selected areas of specialisation, in particular as it applies to practical components and product evidence associated with the exit level outcomes of the qualification.

    Integrated assessment should be considered for both formative and summative assessments and a range of applicable assessment methods should be used to ensure that the principles supporting good assessment practices are upheld.

    INTERNATIONAL COMPARABILITY 
    The international comparability was carried out by comparing the envisaged National Diploma: Media Practices NQF Level 5 with undergraduate programmes, outcomes of learning and performance criteria found in:
  • The Media Qualifications Framework in England and Wales.
  • Diploma in Mass Communication from the Ngee Ann Polytechnic in Singapore.
  • The undergraduate Media Studies Course of the University of San Francisco.

    The comparison with qualifications in England and Wales was selected to enable comparison of the envisaged qualification with similar qualifications on an established qualifications framework whilst Singapore was selected in particular for the similar approach in focussing on a broader operational foundation rather than qualifications earmarked for a singular initial focus area such as advertising of public relations. In this instance the similarity in approach was quite interesting and provided for effective comparison.

    A qualification from the United States of America was chosen in particular due to the fact that the movie industry or audiovisual production associated with Hollywood is internationally recognised as is evident also from the number of South African actors attempting a breakthrough in this environment as well as their role as international leader in particular in the development of marketing and advertising.

    Media Qualifications Framework England and Wales:

    The Framework provides opportunities to compare qualifications between the WJEC (Qualifications authority for Wales) the CCEA which offers qualifications in Ireland (It does not currently offer Media studies) and the OCR (which is the result of a merger between the Oxford and Cambridge Examination Boards/MEG) and the Qualification and Curriculum Authority in the UK.

    BTech qualifications were earmarked for replacement by GNVQ's, but in several instances, colleges refused to give up National diplomas, which currently remain, as in the case of Media.

    When comparing the structures of qualifications it appears as if awarding bodies are following similar vocational guidelines. A basic assessment structure maintaining 40% coursework (practical components) is shared. In some instances a bigger emphasis is placed on production whilst the WJEC seems to concentrate more on texts and textual analysis.

    An evaluation of the Media communication and Production GNVA and B Tech National Diploma in Media Production indicates the following core units:
  • Understanding the Media.
  • Research techniques.
  • Interview and presentation techniques.
  • Media Management.
  • Media Production.
  • Professional Practice in the Media.

    Different programme combinations in audio, moving image and information design are provided and in addition to the above, electives can be selected in areas including Critical Reading, Journalism, Radio, Media Law, Print Media, Audio-visual (Television and Video), Print reporting and production, Radio reporting and production. The National Diploma: Media Practices focuses on a broad media foundation in similar fashion but provides additional skills in the area of communication and the application of written communication skills, the influence of society and culture on the Media environment and visa versa and adds advertising as a media communications discipline and specialisation area. In addition the legislative framework in which Media communication takes place forms a core component of the envisaged qualification whilst the latter is provided as an elective in the qualification evaluated. The requirement of a good practical application of knowledge and skill is shared when a comparison is made.

    Ngee Ann Polytechnic:

    The learning components identified in the Diploma in Mass Communication indicates that the envisaged National Diploma: Media Practices follows a very similar approach to the ensuring of a sound media foundation and orientation to the various media communications disciplines whilst providing access to areas of specialisation.

    The following components compared provide a similar approach to the envisaged qualification:
  • Media orientation:
    > Media Management.
    > Media in Society.
    > Mass Media.
    > Media Research.
    > Media Law.
    > International Perspectives.
  • Communication:
    > Written and verbal Communication.
    > Feature writing.
    > News writing.
  • Creativity and applied thinking skills.
  • Introduction to media disciplines:
    > Marketing communication.
    > Radio Production.
    > Public Relations.
    > Advertising.
    > Journalism (Print, radio, photo and audiovisual).
    > Studio Production.
    > Digital media.

    When comparing the two qualifications, the Diploma in Mass Communication is offered over a period of three years enabling additional electives including:
  • Advanced Advertising.
  • Advanced Public Relations.
  • Advanced Radio Production.
  • Documentary Production.
  • Print Journalism.
  • Radio Journalism.
  • Television Journalism.
  • Integrated Marketing Communications.

    As the purpose of the National Diploma: Media Practices is to enable further specialisation in a selected focus area additional studies should compare well with the level of competence attained in the additional specialisation year as identified in the Diploma in Mass Communication.

    University of San Francisco:

    Due to the recognised best practices in America in term of the film and advertising industries a number of qualifications from Universities and Colleges in America were perused. The undergraduate Media Studies Course of the University of San Francisco was selected for the comparison due to the different focus on social issues, which was clearly absent from Diploma in Mass Communication from the Ngee Ann Polytechnic.

    The following components are offered:
  • Introduction to Media.
  • Media Institutions.
  • Media Stereotyping.
  • Race ethnicity and Media.
  • Communication Law and Policy.
  • Audio Production.
  • Video Production.
  • Journalism-reporting.
  • Journalism-Advanced reporting.
  • Media Theory and Criticism.
  • Feature writing.
  • Scriptwriting.
  • International Media.
  • Journalism Ethics.
  • Film production.
  • Documentary Film Production.
  • Narrative Film Production.

    In this comparison, the Media specific focus is very similar to that of the envisaged National Diploma: Media Practices, and the application of written communication skills, legal frameworks and an overview of international media, institutions and operational structures as well as the strong focus on social, cultural and gender issues in the media environment is a shared focus.

    In this event a heavy emphasis is placed on two media communication disciplines i.e. journalism and audio-visual production, it was not clear which of these focus areas were compulsory and whether elective choices were allowed.

    Other comparisons:

    Difficulties were experienced for comparison to a qualification in SADC countries and accessing of most universities on the African continent via the website: www.allyoucanlearn.com/dir/Universities/Africa. In various instances websites could not be accessed and in other instances English was not available for comparison. Regrettably no useful specific qualifications in the area of media communication or media studies were found via searches conducted for the listed African Universities, South African Universities linked to the site were not accessed as the purpose of the information gathering was international benchmarking.

    Conclusion:

    International comparison indicates that the fundamental and core components of the envisaged qualifications holds up well with international tendencies although emphasis might differ slightly. It furthermore offers a foundational introduction to the main disciplines associated with the Media communications environment, ensuring a good foundational understanding of the main disciplines but also ensuring an informed selection of an elective component as a main focus area for completion of the qualification.

    The main foundational emphasis of the National Diploma: Media Practices in terms of social, cultural and other influences in the operational area of media communication is regarded as a necessity within the context of the changing South African society and the focus on the eradicating of discrimination in any form.

    The elective components of the National Diploma: Media Practices may offer a somewhat broader scope of choice to the learner than is the case in the qualifications used for comparison, but this is seen as a benefit to the learner as it does not take away anything from the main thrust of the qualification but enables application of fundamental and core competencies over a representative range of disciplines in the media communications environment.
