Media Literacy: A Central Component of Democratic Citizenship
Burroughs, Susie; Brocato, Kay; Hopper, Peggy F.; Sanders, Angela
Educational Forum, v73 n2 p154-167 Apr 2009
Educators from Europe, Latin America, and the United States convened to explore issues inherent in democratic citizenship. Media literacy, a central component of democratic citizenship, was studied in depth. Data from the camp were examined for evidence of the participants' understandings of media literacy and how it might be taught. Results revealed that the camp participants developed a deeper understanding of media literacy, the importance of its teaching, and ways to teach it. (Contains 2 figures and 3 tables.)
