Rethinking Media Education : Critical Pedagogy in Action

This collection discusses and analyzes the efficacy of media education around the world, paying particular attention to whether and how it improves the critical thinking skills of students.

Many books describe the importance of media education, but few evaluate its effectiveness.

Implicit is a belief that without a thorough understanding of the extent to which media education achieves its aims, or fails to do so, its potential cannot be fulfilled.
