MEDIA LITERACY OF FINAL PRIMARY SCHOOL STUDENTS IN HNK

Summary/Abstract: The concept of literacy, which once referred to the ability to read and write in the mother tongue, is changing in accordance with social, scientific and technological changes so that in the 21st century literacy is not only the ability to read and write, but also implies knowledge of information and communication technologies, critically thinking and the necessity of lifelong learning. Such changes also require changes in the educational system, i.e. media literacy of students from the period of elementary school, which is achieved through media education. In this paper, we will analyze the presence of content related to media education and media literacy in the following subjects: Bosnian language and literature, English language, Biology and Chemistry, and their impact on the development of critical thinking and media literacy of eighth and ninth grade elementary school students. After collecting the data for the purpose of developing the theoretical part of the work, we began to develop the methodological part, which represents the basis for empirical research of the problem. Using the methods of theoretical analysis and synthesis, descriptive and survey methods, we examined the connection between the content of the mentioned teaching subjects and media culture. The aim of the research was also to determine the inclusion of media content in the teaching of the mentioned subjects with an emphasis on the analysis of the most frequently used media and media content, the possibility of their critical evaluation by the students, as well as the ability to create their own media content.
