The MEDEAnet Survey 2012
• 2nd in a series of three reports • AIM: to chart the media and learning
landscape in Europe• MORE Specifically: it describes the situation at
national and regional level for Estonia, Greece, Romania, Baden-Wurttemberg (DE), Flanders (BE) and Upper Austria.
10 April 2023 2
The MEDEAnet Survey 2012
• It builds on the contents of the first report• MAIN FOCUS on curriculum design and
highlights of good practice,• DISTINCTION between (a) media-based
learning and (b) education for media literacy.
10 April 2023 3
Media Literacy (ML) Definitions
• Diversity of perspectives of the MEDEAnet partners,
• 3 important common components of the ML definitions: ability, opportunity and attitude
(please see Comparative Exercise in report).
10 April 2023 4
The MEDEAnet Survey 2012MAIN CONCLUSIONS
• Minimal changes in ME policy,• Strong difference in the national initiatives for
ME (possible reason: difference in school autonomy),
• A variety of ways integrating ML in curriculum,• Possible discrepancy between ML in curriculum
and effective daily classroom practice,• Still space for growth from the ICT approach to
the cultural one.10 April 2023 5
The MEDEAnet Survey 2012MAIN Recommendations
• National policy should acknowledge media literacy for compulsory education (RO/GR/BG/EE)
• Better coordination at state level to put media education into practice (DE/BE/AUS),
• More investment in teacher training (all partner countries),
• More academic research and dialogue between media and education researchers and the teaching staff.

The ROMANIAN Chapter – FINDINGS
At education policy level:• Still no mention of media literacy in its wider
understanding in policy papers,• In 2012 several media and learning upgrades
(focus on ICT education and e-learning).
10 April 2023 8
The ROMANIAN Chapter FINDINGS
• Media education is available sporadically for high school students, much less for younger children, and nearly at all for adults.
• Quasi-absence of academic research in the field of media and education and training programs.
• Lack of institutional support for teachers willing to innovate.
10 April 2023 9
Curriculum Design – data collection
• 608 subject curriculum documents (key-word search),
• Compulsory education,• Both core and optional national school
curricula.

10 April 2023 12
The ROMANIAN Chapter – M&L in the Curriculum
• Although most of the M&L references indeed present in the core curriculum of secondary education, not mandatory in practice.
• Mainly teaching-with-the-media recommendations, very few learning objectives with media literacy relevance.
10 April 2023 13
The ROMANIAN Chapter – M&L in the Curriculum
• ICT education - optional at primary school level and compulsory during secondary education,
• Media education as a separate optional subject and embedded into the Social Studies core curriculum (12th grade, 18-19 years old),
• Also several integrated-modules in civic education curriculum (lower secondary education).
10 April 2023 14
The ROMANIAN Chapter – Recommendations
• Media literacy – important for the present curriculum reform,
• Support for teacher training programs, • Academic involvement is key – research,
training and dialogue with teachers for a nation-wide integration of media literacy in formal education.
