Na een flinke schare mediawetenschappers, zijn de laatste tijd ook overheden en techreuzen doordrongen van het risico van hoaxes en deep fakes voor democratie en verdienmodellen. In de afgelopen maanden, waarin het nieuws beheerst werd door Covid-19 en de Amerikaanse verkiezingen, werd duidelijk hoe belangrijk betrouwbare informatie is. Maar zit de angel van the fake wel enkel in misleiding?
The purpose of this literature study is to obtain information about educational approaches to teaching 11 to 12 years old children focusing on how to distinguish between real news and fake news. With this purpose we studied 16 academic papers about learning activities to make primary school children media-literate and able to recognise fake news. What we found is that having children create their own news messages seems to be the most effective approach. News messages that they create can be text messages as well as videos, audios, pictures and animations. Based on this conclusion, students from The Hague University of Applied Sciences Teacher Training Institute (PABO) have been asked to develop a set of learning materials that can be used for instruction in primary schools. The effectiveness of those materials is currently being tested at an elementary school in Rijswijk. The results of the literature and the field study will be shared in the Dutch centre of expertise for media literacy education, Mediawijzer.net.
