The specifics of working with the media education component in the literary education of schoolchildren (based on the works of the sixties)

Abstract

The article examines certain aspects of media education and analyses ways to introduce media education methods into the educational process in order to study in-depth the works of representatives of the literary sixties. The study emphasises the importance of using media resources and tools to develop students' critical thinking and improve their understanding of the cultural and historical context of the works of the Sixties artists. The article proposes a number of practical developments that include interactive tasks and the creation of students' own media products. For example, media products such as film adaptations, documentaries, images, and social media in general were chosen. These methodological materials are based on elements of media education that promote active involvement of students in the learning process and develop their ability to analyse and interpret literary works. The study confirms that interactive tasks, creation of own media products and discussions on social media significantly increase students' interest in studying certain topics and become the basis for a deep understanding of literary works. The findings point to the need for further implementation of media education in schools, which involves the synthesis of literature and media. The article makes a contribution to the development of media education in the context of studying literature by proposing innovative approaches to integrating media education components into the school curriculum. Thus, the relevance of the study is due to the growing role of media in modern society and the need to prepare the younger generation for critical perception of information. The practical significance of the study lies in the fact that the proposed methodological materials can be used by teachers of Ukrainian language and literature for implementation in the educational process.
