Abstract:
"Information, whether from traditional or digital media, dominates
our daily lives. Each individual, immersed in an incessant flow of
data, is faced with a considerable mass of information. And if today everyone can receive it, everyone can also create and distribute
it. This is why knowing how to distinguish between true information—that is, information based on facts or supported by science—
and information that is merely opinion-based, is becoming an
essential competency to include in education. Drawing on media
literacy literature and the findings of a study
on the influence of
digital media on the spread of misinformation, conducted with
students aged 17 to 25, we propose educational approaches to
strengthen young adults’ critical thinking skills and develop
attentive information, digital and media literacy." -- AQPC
