Thesis (Ed.D.)--Teachers College, Columbia University, 2008.

This dissertation project is a multi-sited case study of the Femina-Health Information Project's national HIV/AIDS entertainment-education campaign in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, and a sampling of secondary schools implementing it in the Kilimanjaro, Tanzania region. This study examines how AIDS edutainment is produced at the national level and how it is reconceptualized and reinterpreted at the local level by the teachers and students for whom it is intended. Moreover, this study asks whether edutainment media affects secondary school students' attitudes and perceptions of their sexual agency in the midst of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Tanzania. By sexual agency I suggest the right to self-determination, or the ability to act in making informed sexual choices in the midst of structural constraints that may inhibit the transformative capacity of Tanzanian youth.

520 $a This dissertation project is a multi-sited case study of the Femina-Health Information Project's national HIV/AIDS entertainment-education campaign in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, and a sampling of secondary schools implementing it in the Kilimanjaro, Tanzania region. This study examines how AIDS edutainment is produced at the national level and how it is reconceptualized and reinterpreted at the local level by the teachers and students for whom it is intended. Moreover, this study asks whether edutainment media affects secondary school students' attitudes and perceptions of their sexual agency in the midst of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Tanzania. By sexual agency I suggest the right to self-determination, or the ability to act in making informed sexual choices in the midst of structural constraints that may inhibit the transformative capacity of Tanzanian youth.
520 $a This multi-sited, ethnographic case study is analyzed in three distinct parts: as a case study of the Femina-HIP NGO as media producers; as a case study of Biology and Civics teachers in six secondary schools in rural and urban Moshi as media consumers of Femina-HIP materials; and as a case study of secondary school students as media consumers of Femina-HIP resources in the same Moshi secondary schools.
520 $a In this dissertation, my findings reveal that edutainment does affect secondary school students' perceptions of their sexual agency in direct and indirect ways, as well as in perceived positive and negative manners. As I demonstrate, students believe that Femina-HIP materials have taught them more about themselves as sexual beings, through clear, direct and explicit sexual and reproductive health information. Additionally, students think that the Fema magazine and Femina TV talk show indirectly act as a portal of communication on sensitive Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) topics between each other, teachers, friends and family.
520 $a Nevertheless, some students and teachers I interviewed negatively perceive Femina-HIP materials because they think that detailed SRH education may actually encourage young people to engage in sexual acts. As a result, the impact of edutainment in the school setting is severely limited by various socio-cultural factors, based on curricular, structural and religious constraints that are prevalent amongst teachers and school administrators.
