Learning unit contents

Because the media shape public opinion, shape our vision of the world and help to construct our identity, it's up to the teacher to contribute, whatever subject he or she teaches, to shaping responsible citizens, active readers/spectators who are aware of the process by which media messages are constructed.

The Media Education course will not, however, aim to communicate a series of "pedagogical recipes" that can be applied in class, but will rather attempt to outline possible paths that open up the desire to learn about and with the media.

To this end, the course will address the distinction between media literacy and media education, as well as the semiological and ideological challenges of framing and editing, and the critical approach to information disseminated on social networks. It will also offer a general introduction to the analysis of media messages (languages, representations, typologies, technologies, audiences, producers), focusing in particular on the issues of conspiracy theories and fake news.

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

Having acquired the rudiments of an analytical approach to media productions and various media  devices, students will be in a position to take a critical yet constructive look at a range of productions that shape the opinions and knowledge of the students they will encounter in their future profession. The aim of the Media Education course is thus not to train media educators, but to equip future teachers of all disciplines to integrate an enlightened view of media productions into their professional practice.

Prerequisite knowledge and skills

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

The course will combine moments of collective analysis of visual documents (still and moving images) screened in class and theoretical ex cathedra presentations. 
 

Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)

Face-to-face course


Further information:

The course will be divided into 5 sessions, each of which will address a particular type of media. Most of the theoretical notions will be presented on the basis of media document analysis involving active participation of the students. Attendance is therefore strongly recommended.

The sessions won't be recorded (no podcast).

Course materials and recommended or required readings

The ppt presentations will be available online (eCampus) after each session.

 

Exam(s) in session

Any session

- In-person

written exam ( multiple-choice questionnaire )


Further information:

Students are assessed on their knowledge of the key notions, concepts and productions presented in class.

The 2 hours written exam (MCQ + one open ended question) will take place in January 2025.

Work placement(s)

Organisational remarks and main changes to the course

The sessions will take place on September 25, October 2, 9 and 23, and November 27, in the Gothot Room (building A1), from 6 to 8.30pm.
