노인 연령차별주의 개선을 위한 초등 사회과 미디어 리터러시 교육 참여 경험에 대한 내러티브 연구

Abstract

Objectives The meaning of the experience of participating in education was explored in depth by identifying the actual state and formation process of age discrimination in the elderly and implementing media literacy education to improve it.
 Methods Media literacy classes to improve age discrimination were conducted for sixth graders in elementary schools located in Daejeon Metropolitan City, and narrative studies were conducted to understand the meaning of educational participation experiences through participatory observation and in-depth interviews.
 Results Media literacy education to improve age discrimination is a process of critically reflecting on the reality and formation process of elderly prejudice and realizing that media is reproducing distorted reality by promoting negative prejudice against the elderly. In addition, it is a process of recognizing the heterogeneous and diverse aspects of life of the elderly and actively dismantling the fixed and collective image of the elderly, and a process of making a small voice against age discrimination.
 Conclusions This study suggests that active educational intervention is needed in the formation process of age discrimination among elementary school students outside of school and in the media world, and solutions to the problem of age discrimination can also be found in the media. In the future, social studies should provide an opportunity to think about the need for the social contribution of the elderly, welfare of the elderly, and guaranteeing the social and political rights of the elderly, and deal in-depth with the problems of the creation and use of hate expressions derived online.
