Media Literacy in the Hungarian Educational Policy Arena (1995-2012) = A médiaműveltség a magyar oktatáspolitikában (1995-2012)

Abstract

The aim of this dissertation is to understand and present the position of media literacy in Hungarian education policy, the historical path of media literacy education in Hungary, and the roles of various actors in the development of media literacy education. The research project had three major questions: How and why did media literacy education in Hungary make its way into the public education system during the 1990s? In what ways did this area of study evolve over time? What is the position of media literacy education in the contemporary education system in Hungary? For finding the answers to these questions, the methodology builds on a research framework inspired by critical discourse analysis and interpretive policy analysis.
