Considering Historical (Dis)Continuities of Media (Literacy) Education in the Czech Republic for Future Approach

Original language description

Nowadays mediatized society, with significant grow of popularity of so called new media, calls for a new or at least innovated Media (Literacy) Education. In this paper I challenge this assumption and critically approach the current state. In my text, I review the current discussion in the Czech Republic, as well as historical media-educational moments, which I consider crucial, and exemplary in order to showcase the fragmentation of the whole field. I point out the elementary educational principles and their more or less explicit inclusion of the media, as already formulated by Comenius in the 17th Century. Further in the text I focus on the didactical use of film at schools, and the aesthetically framed Film Education of both the 1960’s the 2010 (when it was introduced to the school curricula). This leads me to a critical analysis of the curricular Media Education as it has been introduced in the whole Czech system of formal education since 2006. By discussing these three fragments, I create a momentum of continuity within the field; A continuity that provides already a rich body of theoretical framing(s), terminology and practical experiences and tools. This enables me to advocate for an integrated, historically rooted approach to Media (Literacy) Education which will be not only suitable for current situation of traditional and new media, but will also be capable to adjust educational actions with less effort and less fragmentation to the future development of the media.
