Šiame amžiuje nebeužtenka tik gebėti skaityti ir rašyti. Šiandien žmogus privalo orientuotis globaliame ir komercializacijos įtakos persunktame pasaulyje, kuriame reikia gebėjimo kritiškai vertinti ir interpretuoti visuomenėje vykstančius procesus, žiniasklaidoje pateikiamą informaciją. Žiniasklaidos raštingumas (angl. media literacy) – procesas, kurio metu ugdomas gebėjimas kritiškai mąstyti, analizuoti ir vertinti žiniasklaidos siunčiamus pranešimus. Žiniasklaidos raštingumas – jaunų žmonių kritinių ir kūrybinių gebėjimų vystymasis. Nors kitose šalyse žiniasklaidos raštingumo ugdymas vidurinėse mokyklose pradėtas dėstyti dar septintajame dešimtmetyje, tačiau Lietuvoje šis procesas tik dabar pradeda įsitvirtinti ugdymo sistemoje. Šio darbo tyrimo objektas – moksleivių žiniasklaidos raštingumo ugdymas. Darbo tikslas – įvertinti žiniasklaidos raštingumo ugdymo poreikį, patirtį ir galimybes Lietuvoje. Siekiant šio tikslo iškeliami šie uždaviniai: išnagrinėti žiniasklaidos raštingumo sąvokos vartojimo ir apibrėžimo tendencijas mokslinėje literatūroje ir oficialiuose dokumentuose, išanalizuoti proceso atsiradimo ir poreikio aspektus šiuolaikinėje visuomenėje ir situaciją Lietuvoje. Įvertinti programos ekspertų, mokytojų ir žurnalistų nuomonę dėl žiniasklaidos raštingumo programos poreikio ir naudingumo vidurinėse mokyklose bei ištirti programoje dalyvaujančių moksleivių žinias ir įgūdžius, vertinant žiniasklaidoje pateikiamą informaciją. Kad atlikti šiuos uždavinius... [toliau žr. visą tekstą] / In this age it is not enough merely to read or write. These days a person has to orient in the world marked by globalisation and commerce, where in a compentence is needed to critically evaluate and interpret the ongoing society processes and the information proposed by mass media. Media literacy is a process during which an ability of thinking, analizing and evaluating critically the outgoing mass media messages is being developed. Media literacy is a development of young people‘s critical and creative abilities. Even though the education of media literacy was begun to be taught at secondary schools already in the seventies of the previous century, in Lithuania this process has merely begun to be entrenched in the system of education. The object of this research is the education of pupils‘ media literacy. The purpose of the work is to evaluate the need, experience and the opportunities of mass literacy education in Lithuania. The tasks aiming for the purpose are the following: to examine the tendencies of the use and the definition of the concept of media literacy in the scientific literature and official documents; to analyze the aspects of the nascency and the need of the process in modern society as well as to analyze the situation in Lithuania. To evaluate the opinion of the teachers, journalists and experts of the programme on the need and the benefit of the media literacy programme in secondary schools as well as examine the intelligence and skills of the pupils...

Den digitala utvecklingen och de digitala verktygen i undervisningen ställer krav på att elever genom undervisningen ges möjlighet till att utveckla kompetenser i att hantera det innehåll de varje dag möter. Syftet med denna studie är därför att, med vetskapen om den ökande digitalisering som sker i svensk skola, undersöka vilka uppfattningar och kunskaper lärare har om media literacy och de två kompetenserna att söka och kritiskt värdera information i svenskundervisningen i årskurs 4–6. Utifrån syftet har två frågeställningar formulerats: Hur definierar lärare behovet av att undervisa om media literacy-kompetenserna att söka och kritiskt värdera information i svenskundervisningen i årskurs 4–6? Hur arbetar lärare med media literacy-kompetenserna att söka och kritiskt värdera information i svenskundervisningen i årskurs 4–6? Materialet har samlats in genom semistrukturerade intervjuer med fem verksamma svensklärare i årskurs 4–6. Denna studies teoretiska utgångspunkt är pragmatismens teori om lärande. Resultatet i denna studie visar att lärare definierar behovet av att undervisa om kompetenserna att söka och kritiskt värdera information som stort då skolan måste rusta eleverna till att kunna fungera i det framtida, digitala samhälle som väntar dem. Resultatet i denna studie visar också att lärare arbetar både planerat och oplanerat med kompetenserna och att de oplanerade tillfällena kan leda till autentiska situationer som kan möjliggöra för eleverna att lättare koppla skolans innehåll till det verkliga livet. / The digital development and the digital tools in the education requires that the student through education gets opportunities to develop skills so that they can handle the content they meet every day. Therefore the purpose of this study, with the notice of the increased digitalization that happens in the Swedish schools, is to see what comprehension and knowledge teachers have about media literacy and the two competencies to search and critically evaluate information in the Swedish-education in grade 4–6. Based on the purpose two question formulations have been made: How do teachers define the need of teaching about the media literacy competences to search and critically evaluate information in the Swedish-education in grade 4–6? How do teachers work with the media literacy-competences to search and critically evaluate information in the Swedish-education in grade 4–6? The material has been collected through semi structured interviews with five active Swedish-teachers in grade 4–6. The theoretical starting point of the study is the pragmatism theory of learning. The result in this study shows that teachers define the need of teaching about the competences to search and critically evaluate information as big because the school have to prepare the students so that they can function in the future, digital community that they will be a part of. The result in this study also shows that teachers work both planned and unplanned with the skills and that the unplanned situations can lead to authentic situations that can enable the students to easier connect the content in school with their everyday life.

This qualitative research project describes the experiences of students in BYU's Hands on a Camera Project as they were introduced to co-learning pedagogies. Hands on a Camera is a media literacy service-learning project where university students are placed in public schools to teach K-12 students documentary production and media literacy. The project consists of a preparation phase and a teaching phase. In the research project, students were required to complete peer-learning and peer-teaching assignments during the preparation phase as in order to prepare for the teaching phase. This ethnographic study describes student experiences—positive and negative—with peer learning during both phases of the project.

This study investigated the impact of a media literacy education plan on the reading test scores of the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT) at an urban high school in Central Florida. A team of 9th and 10th grade teachers created a professional learning community and developed a treatment to enhance language arts instruction with various forms of media. This media literacy education plan included four lessons utilizing media such as television commercials, magazine photographs and the Internet; the lessons were taught during the four months leading to the administration of the 2007 FCAT. Data were gathered from the 2006 and 2007 FCAT scores of students in a control and treatment group. Using these pre test and post test data, statistical analysis comprised two independent t-tests and one repeated measures ANOVA. The data revealed statistical significance at the 9th and 10th grade level, but did not show statistical significance at any particular reading level (Levels 1-5). Implications from this study included strong professional learning communities produce effective teachers and that student achievement increases when a media literacy education plan is included in English Language Arts instruction. Furthermore, this study illustrates the need to embrace modern media as viable classroom instructional tools. Recommendations were made for further research utilizing different materials, different forms of media, different student populations. This study also concluded that further qualitative research be conducted. Ultimately, this study makes a strong argument for the inclusion of media and media literacy education in the secondary English Language Arts classroom.

The media impact how people perform their gender, and play an important role in the reproduction of gender binary. Media representations of gender can be described as hegemonic in the sense that, because of their complexity, they contribute to the reproduction of gender norms by otherwise agentic audiences. Media literacy education offers useful strategies for helping audiences question media representations of gender, allowing them to trouble the hegemonic system that keeps inequalities in place. This dissertation answers the question: How do high school students respond to the instruction in a media literacy program informed by gender studies and scholarship on media representations? To answer this question, I used ethnographic methods and the case study approach. My main findings are: (1) Classes that involve analysis of media representations of gender have an agenda-setting effect on students, helping them notice problematic media messages and connect them to social problems and inequalities. (2) Media and gender classes can encourage students to engage in social action, even without the teacher’s prompting. (3) Media and gender classes are not part of a standard curriculum, and teachers choose to include them because they are passionate about gender inequalities. This is why these teachers might lean towards the protectionist approach. (4) Students might embrace teachers’ message about the value of gender equality and diversity, but keep their implicit biases unchecked. Teachers should think of ways to address these biases in the classroom. (5) In order to help students acquire a balanced set of media literacy skills, it is important to work on all competencies of the AACRA model of media literacy education: Access, Analyze, Create, Reflect, and Act. / Media & Communication

本研究主要目的在研發我國大班幼兒媒體素養教育教師教學手冊，以做為未 來實施媒體素養教育課程之參考方向。藉由實際事件的舉例與可試行的教學活動解說，期望幼教老師在讀完教學手冊後，能瞭解幼兒媒體素養教育的意涵與重要性，並且依照個人教學需求進行幼兒媒體素養相關概念的引導活動。 本手冊發展歷程首先整理台灣、英國、美國、澳洲、加拿大國家幼兒階段的 媒體素養學習內涵、訪談幼稚園教師以瞭解幼兒媒體經驗、教師感知媒體素養之現況，再根據文獻與訪談的分析結果撰寫手冊，初稿完成後分別以問卷與訪談的方式針對手冊內容進行專家評鑑，整體發現手冊初稿的設計，尤其是教學活動範例的部分，皆較適用於已經具備或熟稔媒體素養知能的幼教老師，對一般不具備傳播教育背景與未曾涉獵相關概念的老師來說使用性較低，最後根據修改建議完成修訂版手冊內容，主要以現場問題為導向，來說明與媒體素養可以連結的部分與可參考的活動及提問方式，涵蓋「閱聽人」、「媒體再現」與「媒體文本」三個面向的學習活動，此外更強調的是讓教師明瞭遇到哪些機會點可以進行媒體素養教育與需掌握的要領（詳見第四章第四節）。 在手冊研發歷程中同時探討幼稚園教師感知幼兒使用媒體的情況、師生一同 使用媒體的狀況、幼師對媒體素養理解狀況與態度。結果發現教師即使進行的教學內容有部分會談論到與媒體內容有關的議題，也鮮少涉及媒體素養的核心概念與面向，再則是如果要針對媒體訊息內容討論必是與原先課程主題極為相關，或是此訊息對幼兒產生不當的影響需要進行全班性的解說與勸導。而雖然教師多贊成可以在幼稚園進行媒體素養教學，但是包括教師本身的認知與態度、幼兒的能力與發展，還有家庭的配合都是需詳加考量的部分。 最後根據本研究所探討的內容、研究結論與限制，提出研究建議，以供教育 行政機關、媒體素養推動機構、師資培育機構、幼稚園與教師、家長及未來相關研究之參考。 / This research aims to develop a handbook for teaching media literacy in preschool. By using examples of real events and feasible teaching activities, we hope teachers could realize the importance of media literacy education for children and conduct media literacy activities on their own demands. This handbook was developed through the following process. First of all, we compared the content of media literacy learning in preschool of five countries, including Taiwan, UK, United States, Australia and Canada. Besides, we interviewed several kindergarten teachers to learn media usage of children and the perception of teachers regarding media literacy. Then we used the literature review and result of interviews to compose the handbook. Furthermore, the draft of handbook were evaluated by professionals. According to the evaluation, we found the handbook might be more useful for teachers with some knowledge of media literacy, and not for those without background knowledge of communication or media literacy. Therefore, the handbook was revised and re-designed by questions to explain the link between media literacy and relevant activities. These activities consist of three main parts, audience, media representation and media texts, with the emphasis on some good opportunities for media literacy education and the skills necessary for teaching media literacy. We also explored how children use media alone or with the teachers through the perception of kindergarten teachers, and the understanding of media literacy and attitudes of these teachers. As a result, we found these teachers may mention media related issues in their teaching, but seldom refer to the core concept of media literacy. In addition, only when the media messages are closely related to the original courses subjects or they may have some bad influences on children will these teachers use them. Moreover, although most teachers agree that media literacy could be contained in kindergarten education, there are still some concerns related to the attitudes and cognition of teachers, the ability and development of children and the support of family. Finally, based on the result of this research, we provided some suggestions for further research on media literacy education. We hope this could be useful for education administrations, institutions of media literacy education, teacher training institutions,kindergarten teachers, and parents.

This qualitative action research project addressed the infusion of media literacy and new media into a standard secondary English language arts curriculum. In examining students' perceptions of South Africa as they interacted with new media texts in conjunction with the traditional literary text Cry, the Beloved Country, this study also explored the manner in which students' media interactions informed their reading of the novel. As a result of the research data, the author asserts that media literacy education can, in fact, play an effective role in teaching literature within the world literature classroom.

<p>   </p> <p>Health-related misinformation presents a significant threat to public health and wellbeing. Misinformation exposure is associated with decreased compliance with public health initiatives, decreased trust in science, and greater levels of disease transmission. Unfortunately, fact-checking is not a panacea for mitigating the negative effects associated with misinformation exposure. The present dissertation, guided by the Theory of Planned Behavior, investigated across two studies whether providing participants with different levels of media literacy education could enable them to successfully determine news articles, on a variety of different health topics, contained either legitimate or illegitimate information. Both studies utilized a three-group, pretest-posttest, between-subjects experimental design in which participants were randomly assigned to either a brief or detailed media literacy skill promotion message, or a no-message control. The messages took the form of Facebook posts from a fictitious organization dedicated to promoting media literacy. The first study recruited 305 undergraduate students. Results from the first study indicated that participants assigned to the detailed message condition were more successful compared to the other conditions in identifying health-related misinformation. A content analysis of participants’ open-ended responses revealed that participants in the detailed message group were the most likely to utilize skills related to media literacy and were the least likely to utilize heuristics or to guess when determining whether news articles contained legitimate or illegitimate information. The second study sought to replicate and extend the results of the first study in a sample of adults recruited through Amazon’s Mechanical Turk. The results of the second study found that the detailed message condition promoted a greater ability to identify misinformation compared to either the brief message or control condition. Similarly, participants in the second study were most likely to use skills related to media literacy when completing the misinformation identification task. The results suggest that brief media literacy messages may be insufficient in enabling participants to successfully identify health-related misinformation online. However, more detailed media literacy education messages show promise for potentially limiting the spread of misinformation online. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed. </p> <p>  </p>
