CHALLENGES IN THE AREAS OF QUALITY MEDIA EDUCATION- A STUDY IN THE INDIAN INSTITUTIONS

Abstract

The media significantly impacts how individuals think and feel about the world around them. While entertaining audiences, movies also teach them about important historical events, cultural norms, and moral principles, which can shape how those viewers think about themselves, others, gender roles, and other social issues. This means that the media serve as a sort of schooling and socialising influence because of their symbolic resources. Researchers in the subject of media literacy education say that this is the case and that a media-literate individual can adopt a critical, analytical, and evaluative attitude and use media to contribute to the production and sharing of information. How many media education pedagogy in India be improved upon? As a result, this study sheds light on media literacy and the obstacles to providing high-quality media education in Indian schools. To find effective remedies, educators in India's media schools were polled on the problems they see. At the 5% level of significance (p0.05), the hypotheses are accepted. Among Indian media schools, the research indicated that low practical exposures and traditional course curricula are a hurdle to providing a high-quality media education. According to the study results, if educators want to help their students succeed in the media industry, they must focus on both areas.
