The Importance of Media Education for Generation Z

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Media education is a critical issue in the age of cyber space, yet it is often marginalized and undervalued. This article provides an overview of media education, focusing on its importance, and then verifies its understanding among Generation Z individuals aged 19-23. The youth were asked to list associations with keywords related to media education. Based on this, word clouds were generated, which identified the most popular associations. The results, while in some cases look optimistic, generally indicate gaps in media education, and therefore the need for its better integration into the Polish educational system.
