ABSTRACT

This study analyzed the perception of elementary pre-service teachers regarding the importance and performance level of the major competencies in media literacy that are expected of teachers. In addition, it explored the tasks to be addressed in the media literacy education for pre-service teachers. A survey was conducted on 167 elementary pre-service teachers using a questionnaire on 13 competencies related to media literacy. The result of the t-test indicated significant differences between the importance and performance of all competencies. In addition, importance–performance analysis demonstrated that the competency related to ‘identification and class application of major educational issues’ needs improvement; seven competencies including ‘control of media use’ and ‘analysis and critique of media content’ should be maintained for good condition; four competencies including ‘understanding sociocultural context’ and ‘creating information or contents’ require less priority, and the competency related to 'appreciation and enjoyment of contents' should avoid excessive effort. Based on the results, the study proposed issues to be considered in organizing educational programs to enhance the competencies of elementary pre-service teachers in media literacy.
