Developing media literacy in preservice preschool teachers
Abstract
This theoretical article examines how university coursework can help preservice preschool teachers verify online information before using it in practice. It draws on selected literature on media literacy, educators’ digital competence and teacher preparation to connect source verification with decisions about teaching resources. The article proposes guided practice in tracing claims, peer discussion of resource choices and review of planning decisions during teaching practice. A shared reading example illustrates how a student can check the evidence behind an online claim and adapt an activity to a preschool group.
Keywords: Media literacy, preservice preschool teachers, source verification, teacher education, teaching practice
