미디어교육법제 현황과 입법 방향

Abstract

Along with the history of mankind, media such as letters, newspapers, broadcasting, communications, and the Internet have been continuously developed. The development of the media also leads to the mental and physical expansion of the human being. Media literacy is not simply a means or a tool, but a culture and a social action capability, with the emphasis on the ability to create, analyze, critical thinking. The purpose of media education is to educate media literacy through educational activities on media. In particular, the importance and necessity of media education has been emphasized more than ever before, due to the emergence of fake news, internet addiction, cyber bullying etc. However, current Media Education Acts focus mainly on information media, and various ministries and public institutions are promoted variously, so it is limited at the national level to manage them or to achieve comprehensive results. With this background, in 2018, two legislative initiatives have been proposed. In this paper, I review the current state of media education, analyze the issues and implications of the media education acts and trends, and propose the directions and contents of the legislation for the maximum effect of the media education act. In other words, I mentioned that it is important to improve the management system in government level for media education and to establish a system of mutual cooperation between public and private parts, and to separate into school media education and social media education. Media education act should be included that education-counseling-therapy should be linked beyond education level.
