"The challenge for researchers is not only to explain the problems, but also to communicate with the people in power so that research findings will make a difference. They need to dare to engage in debates on democracy, social change, human rights, freedom of expression - and the role of media education in relation to these fundamental values. In such a context, the Handbook on Media Education Research makes a very important contribution to increasing our knowledge and understanding of media education on a global basis. Nearly 40 well-known, international researchers formulate important themes, approaches and valuable insights into the dynamic and evolving field of media education research in the digital age. The book provides a fruitful framework for discussing critical issues from different perspectives: theoretical, methodological and practical; educational, pedagogic and political; local and global. The goal stated in the introductory chapter to present a "historically informed and future-oriented work" is very well achieved through this broad and in-depth picture of the state of media education research around the world. The Handbook on Media Education Research offers researchers, decision-makers, teachers and practitioners the knowledge and experience needed for media education to be effective from a civic and long-term perspective"-- Provided by publisher This handbook offers a comprehensive overview of the complexity and diversity of media and information literacies (MIL) research in the digital era. It considers the relation of MIL to the school and media environment. It presents and assesses traditional approaches and identifies how they have evolved with the changing media challenges. It places MIL as a worldwide project, empowered by diverse perspectives that theorize and conduct research on the field as it is still being elaborated. This handbook will include contributions from outstanding international scholars in the field, most of whom are regular contributors to the MER section of IAMCR. The different parts of the handbook are based on recurring themes and workshops conducted during IAMCR conferences over the last five years. The main public target will be academics and researchers but also teachers and practitioners as well as decision makers (possible cooperation with UNESCO).
