Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q1 i? Most interviewed experts state that critical media literacy is often overlooked or treated superficially in curricula, and that absence of a strong scientific and technological culture leads to superficial, device-focused technology integration. → Albardía MS 2025
Evidence¶
Albardía MS 2025¶
Albardía MS, Peña-Fernández S and Agirreazkuenaga I (2025) Technology, education and critical media literacy: potential, challenges, and opportunities. Front. Hum. Dyn. 7:1608911. https://doi.org/10.3389/fhumd.2025.1608911
q1 · i? · qualitative · r2
Qualitative analysis (NVIVO-coded) of seven semi-structured interviews with leading educommunication and media literacy scholars from Spain, the US, Latin America. Experts argue "critical media literacy remains insufficiently integrated into educational curricula" and that superficial integration is limited to devices and software without a reflective, critical approach.
"Most of the experts interviewed point out that critical media literacy remains insufficiently integrated into educational curricula (SI 2.2). They argue that, despite the growing influence of media and technology in students’ lives, educational systems have yet to provide the necessary tools to navigate these environments critically."
