Need for media literacy “Our students are growing up in a world saturated with media messages…yet, they receive little or no training in the skills of analyzing or re-evaluating these messages, many of which make use of language, moving images, music, sound effects.”Source: R.Hobbs, Journal Adult & Adolescent Literacy, February 2004
Media literacy • the ability to access, analyze, evaluate and produce media • the process of becoming active, rather than passive, consumers of media

The essence of media education (or teaching of viewing skills) isn’t about having the right answers – it’s about asking the right questions. The result is lifelong empowerment of the learners and citizens.
Media Education Triangle Developed by Eddie Dick for the Scottish Film Council
Local Initiatives Recognizing the need to develop among the young the capacity to independently assess sources of information, the Department of Education (DepEd) created Media Literacy Task Force early this year. They are tasked to produce a media literacy education curriculum. The National Media Literacy Education (NMLE) is set to be integrated in the Basic Education Curriculum under Social Studies for the elementary level and under English/Communication Arts/Values for the high school level .

The 2010 SEC Critical Viewing is the ability to use critical thinking skills to view, question, analyze and understand issues presented overtly and covertly in movies, videos, television and other visual media.
Similar to media education, viewing skills are all about asking the right questions.
Critical thinking questions • Who produced and/or paid for the message? • What is the purpose of the message? • Who is the ‘target audience’ ? • What techniques are used to both attract attention and increase believability? • What lifestyles are promoted and why? • Does the message contain bias or stereotypes?
Learning Competencies • Identify the author’s purpose and point of view • Examine construction techniques and genres • Identify techniques used in TV and use knowledge of these techniques to distinguish between facts and misleading information • Recognizing bias and stereotyping
Learning Competencies • Detecting propaganda and censorship in news and public affairs programming • Read “between the lines” of advertisements • Understand how news is constructed • Produce media texts
On television • music channels • entertainment programs • sports • cartoons In the community • music and video stores • vintage and fashion stores • comic book stores • malls Online • instant messaging technology • social networking sites • file-sharing sites and programs • kids’ favorite Web sites Familiarize yourself with youth media
A great way to get to know the media your students are interacting with is to start the school year with a quick class survey.

Where does lesson study come in? Viewing skills MEDIA LITERACY Media Education LESSON STUDY
Lesson Study • It is a process in which teachers jointly plan, observe, analyze, and refine actual classroom lessons called "research lessons”. • The real “lesson” of lesson study is not product, but process – examining their own practices in the context of student learning.
In Lesson Study, teachers: • think about the long-term goals of education - such as love of learning and respect for others; • carefully consider the goals of a particular subject area, unit or lesson; • plan classroom "research lessons" that bring to life both specific subject matter goals and long term goals for students; and • carefully study how students respond to these lessons - including their learning, engagement, and treatment of each other.
With the great volume of information that the young are now receiving, it is important to guide them in sifting through the mass of information, in discerning which information is useful, and which would be detrimental to their own welfare or growth.
The call is clear: We must work together for lifelong empowerment of the learners and citizens.
