Percorsi di Media Education

Media represents for the school an opportunity for change not only in terms of instruments to manage the teaching/learning process, but above all to reflect on these processes and innovate them in a conscious and critical manner. In pupils media can facilitate the acquisition of awareness of their own mental processes; and allow them to be able to their own learning process; if it well used media, at school, can make choices that are more visible, mental associations, the way to deal with the problematic situations and operating procedures that characterize the mental processes of each student. The most appropriate area to promote the self-regulation of learning in the students is media education, which involves and stimulates complex skills, working both on the development of the mind, emotions and relationships.Media education isn’t implemented in the teaching action of Italian school. However, the digital age and the arrival of new media are revolutionizing the entire communication system, redefining in depth both the tools and the modes of consumption.
