Media Education



Media Education introduction


(1) Providing community outreach, public programs, and educational services and multimedia curriculum resources targeted to the needs of youth and local school and after-school educators; and
(2) Developing a multidisciplinary research agenda to explore the broad educational impact of media and technology, with a focus on media literacy education To accomplish these goals, we offer workshops, staff development and partnerships that bring media literacy education to children, young people and adults. We are interested in the cognitive, social and behavioral impact of media literacy education as it develops in the family and in formal and informal educational settings. We address policy issues that affect the quality of teaching and learning about media and popular culture.
The Media Education Lab at Temple University is one of a small handful of research university programs that focuses specifically on the intersections of media studies, communication and education. Graduate and undergraduate students are able to take advantage of the ongoing research programs and are active participants in all of the programs of the Media Education Lab.
