Raw database of the Master's thesis: Pedagogical recommendations for media and information literacy in secondary education: a systematic review

Abstract The growing volume of digital information, disinformation and the rise of hate speech make it necessary for citizens Media and Information Literacy (MIL). This is relevant for different types of education: informal, non-formal and formal. Within the latter, secondary education is a key stage in which students acquire essential knowledge and skills for adult life. The research question guiding this Master's thesis is: What are the main recommendations for developing MIL competences in secondary school students? To answer this question, a systematic review of the scientific literature was carried out using the Web of Science™ and Scopus® databases. The result of the search had a total of 70 articles, with 17 articles from nine countries in Europe and South America finally selected. Different educational interventions were documented both to obtain information on students' opinions and competences through questionnaires, interviews, skills tests, as well as educational experiences using audiovisual, professional tools and serious games that improved the AMI competences of most of the students. Although there is a horizon of research and work ahead, these results are promising for the daily performance of secondary school teachers.
