PL

Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie efektów rozwoju kursu, które zaowocowały zmianami w zakresie krytycznej umiejętności korzystania z mediów. W pierwszej części artykułu przedstawione zostały źródła naukowe wspierające rozwój kursu medioznawstwa w kontekście nauczania międzykulturowego. Po tej części dostępne są szczegóły dotyczące badania percepcyjnego sprzężenia zwrotnego i jego mieszanej metodologii. Zgodnie z wynikami, krytyczna umiejętność korzystania z mediów przez studentów została poprawiona dzięki naukowym źródłom mediów społecznościowych w analizie, regionalnym studiom przypadków w kontekście międzykulturowym, oraz technikom sprawdzania faktów w konsumpcji wiadomości. Ostatecznym rezultatem było głębsze zrozumienie wartości stojących za wolnością mediów. Ponadto, poziom wiedzy w dziedzinie historii i polityki wzrósł, a etnocentryczna perspektywa załamała się w międzykulturowym środowisku. W końcowej części artykułu podsumowano kluczowe ustalenia oraz wkład w rozwój kursu wraz z rekomendacjami. Głównym przesłaniem badania jest znaczenie studium przypadku opartego na międzykulturowym i historycznym podejściu w studiach nad mediami dla poprawy krytycznej umiejętności korzystania z mediów w szkolnictwie wyższym.

The goal of the paper is to present the effects of the course development resulting in changes in critical media literacy. The first part of the paper outlines the academic sources supporting the course development of media studies in the context of intercultural teaching. After this section, details of perceptual feedback research and its mixed methodology are available. According to the findings, critical media literacy of students has been improved due to the academic social media sources in analysis, regional case studies in an intercultural context, and fact check techniques in news consumption. The ultimate result was a deeper understanding of the values behind media freedom. Moreover, the level of knowledge in historical and political fields has increased, and the ethnocentric perspective has collapsed as the interculturalenvironment. The closing section of the paper summarizes the key findings and the contribution to the course developments with recommendations. The main message of the study is the importance of the case study based on the intercultural and historical approach in media studies to improve critical media literacy in higher education.
