ВИКОРИСТАННЯ МЕТОДУ CASE STUDY В КУРСІ "ІНФОРМАЦІЙНА БЕЗПЕКА В МЕДІА: ЛІНГВІСТИЧНА КОМПЕТЕНЦІЯ"

Abstract

The article is devoted to the problem of using the CASE STUDY approach in the course "Information Security in the Media: Linguistic Competence", which is offered to students of master's specialties "Media Linguistics". The authors substantiate its methodological expediency by adapting to integrated disciplines, where the objects of analysis are real-life facts and their representation in the media, and where there are several effective solutions to the problem.The course "Information Security in the Media: Linguistic Competence" is interdisciplinary, that is why it corresponds well with the analytical capabilities of the approach. The authors also represent the methodical complex, which was created on the basis of the course for teaching master students at the Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv. The choice of analytical material is motivated by the fact that modern wars are fought primarily in the information space, where safe and dangerous are deliberately fused in media flows, so there is an urgent need to learn to distinguish between them.The topics of the lectures correlate with the problems of information pathogenicity. In security contexts, it appears as a result of violation of the legal basis of information activities and communication norms, when there are various psychoecological deviations that destroy trust in official institutional information, destroy traditional value paradigms, beliefs, turn socialized reflection on information influences into panic, mass aggression or indifference, etc. Within the course, students study the evolutionary dynamics of the standards of secure information representation, in particular in terms of its modern standards in the media, security specifics of traditional and current fact-checking is studied, and different scales of strategically important information and types of verbal manipulation are analyzed. The course is aimed at improving the media culture of secure communication, involves the formation of skills to recognize strategic content implemented in modern government strategies of hard, soft and intelligent power, special attention is paid to the processes of information socialization with the help of communication technologies.The specificity of the course objectifies the need to update methodological approaches and analytical tools for the study of media texts. This problem is partially solved by involving the methodological resource CASE STUDY.
