A new learning resource produced by SEENPM member organizations within ‘Media for Citizens – Citizens for Media’ project is aimed at journalists passing on knowledge and experience about and from their profession to schoolchildren within media and information literacy context.
The focus is on teaching and learning methods that actively involve students, so they can learn through journalists’ experience, questioning, role-play and inference, said one of the authors, Radmila Rangelov Jusović, PhD.
Ideas for hands-on activities with the students presented in the handbook can be easily adapted for children both in primary and secondary schools.
The publication provides a general idea about ways that children learn, along with practical tips on how to begin with the teaching process, how to introduce new content, and how to enable students to put acquired skills and knowledge into practice.
