Media and information literate citizens: think critically, click wisely!
This pioneering curriculum presents a comprehensive competency framework of media and information literacy (MIL) and offers educators and learners structured pedagogical suggestions. It features various detailed modules covering the range of competencies needed to navigate today's communications ecosystem. This resource links media and information literacy to emerging issues, such as artificial intelligence, digital citizenship, education, education for sustainable development, cultural literacy, and the exponential rise in misinformation and disinformation. With effective use of this media and information literacy curriculum, everyone can become media and information literate as well as peer-educators of media and information literacy.
This UNESCO model MIL Curriculum and Competency Framework for Educators and Learners is intended to provide education systems in developed and developing countries with a framework to construct a programme enabling educators and learners to be media and information literate. UNESCO also envisions that educators will review the framework and take up the challenge of participating in the collective process of shaping and enriching the curriculum as a living document. The first edition and this second edition of the MIL curriculum have benefited from several series of collaborative and intercultural expert debates and recommendations. The curriculum focuses on required core competencies and skills which can be seamlessly integrated into the existing education system without putting too much of a strain on overloaded education curricula.
The target groups for the curriculum are essentially educators and learners. Educators and learners are understood in the broadest sense of the terms to include teachers at the secondary and primarily tertiary levels, persons involved in training or learning on all forms in NGOs, CSO, community centers, the media, libraries, online or offline. Given that the curriculum was developed with adaptation in mind, it can be used by various stakeholders interested in the field of MIL. Users may need to adapt the content to make it more relevant or accessible to specific target groups. The curriculum is also relevant to government officials and ministries, and other social and international development organizations.
