Abstract
This study aims to investigate the media literacy skills of senior elementary school students in Taiwan in response to UNESCO’s emphasis on critical thinking, diverse information reception, and participation in knowledge societies as essential skills for citizens. Although Taiwan has relevant policies, it lacks supporting measures and continuous implementation, and there is no comprehensive survey report available. The objectives of this study include: (1) developing a media literacy assessment tool for senior elementary school students; (2) describing the current status of media literacy skills of senior elementary school students and their relationship with background variables. The research questions to be addressed are: (1) What is the current status of media literacy skills among senior elementary school students? (2) What is the relationship between students’ media literacy skills and background variables? This study will help to understand the current status of media literacy among senior elementary school students in Taiwan and provide a reference for future policy and educational practice.
