On the way to building a theory of media education: A systemic approach

Oksana Vozniuk, Serhii Kubitskyi
Abstract

Questions regarding the construction of the theory of media education in the context of the systemic approach are considered. The extreme relevance and priority of media education in the world and in Ukraine are determined: the exponential growth of information in modern world, when information appears as a universal and fundamental category, as well as high rates of consumption of media products, extreme saturation of human society with various means of mass information, which leads to actualization spiritual and ideological component of the influence of the media on human consciousness, including with a manipulative purpose; there is a growing need to spread the science of media in the scientific and educational sphere; the incredibly high rates of development of modern technologies and expansion of media production reveal the phenomenon of " half-life of the competences of a modern specialist". Under such conditions, the development of the theory of media education is of considerable importance, which is considered in the context of such theories as critical-formative, media-needing, semiotic, cultural-aesthetic, injection, endocrine, and practical. To achieve the goal of our research, we have used the philosophical principle of the unity of light, being methodological basis for the study of media phenomena, the method of theoretical analysis of the problem field of our research, the general systems theory which made it possible to generalize and deepen some theoretical and methodological aspects of media education, to fill them with new content. In the context of the general systems theory, the authors built a model of a school as a social institution, a model of a person as a subject of psychology, the psychological structure of a personality in accordance with the general systems theory, which made it possible to carry out a systemic correlation of theories of media education and some pedagogical phenomena

Keywords
