발달장애 청소년을 위한 미디어 리터러시 교육 콘텐츠 개발 방안 연구

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to search for measures to promote the media literacy competence of adolescents with developmental disabilities and facilitate their active and creative media activities. Therefore, a literature study and a qualitative study was conducted targeting adolescents with developmental disabilities, special education teachers, and disability advocates who participated in media literacy education. The first finding of the study revealed that adolescents primarily use smartphones and YouTube, and issues related to digital divide and unbalanced use of media were identified. The second finding indicated that media education was conducted during regular class hours or integrated into daily life, and emphasized the development of necessary media competencies such as access and utilization of media, as well as communication skills. The third finding suggested policy recommendations for government and schools, including the development of customized contents based on disability level, institutionalization of media education as a compulsory subject, establishment of systematic teacher training programs, and responsibility of public broadcasters. This study proposes solutions for developing customized educational contents based on core competencies, such as easy-to-read materials tailored to disability characteristics, visual materials using pictograms, and infrastructure support according to digital environments. It is hoped that these solutions will contribute to creating an inclusive digital world that can be shared by all.
