Junior Cycle Digital Media Literacy Course – Developmental Education
By WorldWise Global Schools, Developmental Education is an educational process aimed at increasing awareness and understanding of the rapidly changing, interdependent and unequal world in which we live. Key components of Developmental Education are: learner-centred, participatory methodologies; knowledge about how the world works; critical thinking skills, reflection, problem-solving, analysis and teamwork; values and attitudes of respect, solidarity and empowerment; and action to effect change for a more equal and just world.
Development Education themes, such as ethics, respect, rights and responsibilities, consumerism, citizenship, democracy and the role of the media form part of the learning in the junior cycle Digital Media Literacy Short Course.
This resource aims to support Digital Media teachers to teach through a global justice lens, a lens with great educational benefits, which meets the requirements as laid out in the junior cycle Digital Media Literacy specification, and in the (2015) Framework for Junior Cycle.
