HOLISTIC EDUCATION AND MEDIA USE

MANAGEMENT

Holistic approaches to media literacy education focus on

nurturing, together with critical and creative thinking, the

social, emotional, cultural and ethical skills needed for a

life related to media engagement.

Such connection can be established through teaching

media use management. The capacity to manage media

use is one of the critical skills. The difference here is that

any potential need for modification is identified by the

students themselves, while educators may intervene only

as a response to students’ self-identified needs and offer

possible solutions and support.
