Abstract

Objectives The purpose of this study was to determine whether the university's available resources contribute to improving the quality of education in the local community. For this study, the students' perception of the class integrating poetry and video was investigated, and it was also attempted to confirm whether the students' media literacy competency was cultivated through the class. Methods From October to the end of November 2020, a class that integrated poetry and video was conducted for general high school students, and two surveys were conducted before and after class. The contents of the questionnaire are about students' perception of the class that integrates poetry and video and the cultivation of students' media literacy competency. The respondents were 288 male students. Results First, students answered that they watched “more than 1 hour to less than 2 hours” of media a day the most. In addition, only about 33% of the students answered that they had participated in a media literacy class. The most common response was ‘middle school’ when they first encountered media literacy education. The students answered that they had encountered media literacy education in the subjects such as Korean, mathematics, technology/home, and art. In addition, students answered that they were generally satisfied with the class time and content. And students recognized that media literacy education was necessary after class rather than before class. Second, as a result of analyzing whether the students' media literacy competency was cultivated, it was confirmed that there was a statistically significant improvement in all areas of ‘understanding, creation⋅expression, value⋅attitude’. Conclusions First, educational activities that actually contribute to the social participation and communication of students in media literacy classes are required. Second, a long-term plan and support are needed so that the high school and college-linked curriculum using resources available in the community can be operated stably.
