Bridging Knowledge and Action: Implementing Service Learning in Media Literacy Education
Communication Teacher, v38 n3 p290-297 2024
This article introduces an entire semester of media literacy teaching activities. The teaching idea encompasses the integration of class sessions with service learning. This article details the objectives, setup, teaching integration steps, and appraisal of the activities throughout the semester. By implementing this strategy, it is expected that students will not only have a conceptual grasp of media literacy in the classroom but also be able to apply that understanding to contribute to the community through service learning. Course: Media Literacy. Objectives: After completing this media literacy course, students should be able to (1) increase their awareness of the principles and core elements of media literacy, including an understanding of how the media works and how information is conveyed through the media; (2) foster their critical thinking abilities by training them to analyze and assess media-based information; and (3) put theory into practice through service learning, in which they use their classroom skills and knowledge to have a beneficial influence on the community.
