Media literacy in education:
We all know that education in schools is the interaction process that covers an important process of human life and is provided by communication between teacher and student. So where is media literacy in education? How can we talk about?
Science and technology are developing rapidly day by day and people of all age groups have difficulty following this. What is expected of people is that they are open to innovation and easily adaptable. Productivity will be at the forefront of this process. The primary goal of this field is to improve students' skills such as reading-writing, comprehension and active creativity.
The importance of literacy has never decreased and will not decrease in the period we have come to today's century. With technology, it has increased the rate of media literacy.
Media literacy course enables students to give feedback and open to an evaluation in many areas such as social media, visual resources, video games.
So what is its purpose?
· Increasing the thinking capacity
· To be able to comprehend individual and social events
· Gaining the ability to discuss social, socio-economic and cultural issues
· To provide a freeway of communication
· Making a developmental difference in creativity and innovation
Now that we have seen its aims, we will see the results of the media literacy education in students as a result of the research.
Firstly, it helped students to form inquiry feature.
Then he created awareness and led him to think.
Later, it was observed that he created an active environment for generating new ideas by analyzing.
it taught great skills for a lesson, didn't it?
If we look at these positive gains, we can see that there are good educational methods that can be done to develop people in technological fields with the presence of media literacy in education. The link between media, technology and the internet is growing day by day and I think it should be a lesson that should be more involved in education. Educators should use the media more actively in their lessons with animation, songs and short videos. Combining visual intelligence with technology, which is artificial intelligence, is likely to result in a positive result.
