Abstract
-
Media literacy and digital skills are key challenges identified in the European Union 2020 Strategy. These skills are essential in today’s digital society and should be included in school curricula. A major focus is helping students develop critical thinking so they can use media and digital tools responsibly. This project explores how to better include media literacy in education and encourage active, informed participation in the digital world. It begins with a review of international models and research to understand current practices and key issues. The aim is to guide teachers and families in helping children and young people use digital media effectively. The study identifies important dimensions of media literacy and digital skills, which will be used to design an assessment tool. This tool will measure how digital media influence young people’s habits and learning outside the classroom.
