重思数字素养:数字资本主义时代的媒介教育

Rethinking Digital Literacy:Media Education in the Age of Digital Capitalism

数字教育倡导者日益认识到青少年需要获得数字媒介素养,但这一理念往往被工具化地看待,缺乏系统全面的实施。本文指出,应超越数字媒介为年轻人带来风险和机遇的二元观点,以及由此产生的狭隘的数字技能和网络安全观念。应采取更广泛和批判性的方法,审视“数字资本主义”的兴起和数字媒体在日常生活中的普遍性。成熟的媒介教育概念框架和教学策略可以并应该扩展,以应对数字和社交媒体带来的新挑战。

Advocates of digital education have increasingly recognized the need for young people to acquire digital media literacy.However,this idea is often seen in instrumental terms,and is rarely implemented in any coherent or comprehensive way.This article suggests that we need to move beyond a binary view of digital media as offering risks and opportunities for young people,and the narrow ideas of digital skills and internet safety to which it gives rise.It proposes taking a broader and more critical approach to the rise of‘digital capitalism’,and to the ubiquity of digital media in everyday life.It argues that the well-established conceptual framework and pedagogical strategies of media education can and should be extended to meet the new challenges posed by digital and social media.
