Abstract
-
The study emphasizes the need for social studies teacher educators to address misinformation and fake news in democratic citizenship education. Guided by the Teacher Education Technology Competencies, it proposes a five-part framework for integrating media literacy into teacher education, including historical, ethical, and practical approaches to analyzing fake news. The study highlights that a comprehensive media literacy approach supports civic reasoning, understanding of political bias, and online civic participation, and stresses the importance of strengthening preservice teachers’ media literacy skills through teacher education programs.
