Secondary school students’ assessment of critical literacy in a multimedia environment

The aim of this paper is to analyze the assessment of critical literacy of grammar school students in a multimedia environment. The research was conducted among 210 students from several grammar schools in Zagreb. According to research participants’ assessments, the abundance of information offered by the media and their accessibility make learning easier. While academic information from books and textbooks is considered reliable, information found on the Internet is only moderately trusted by grammar school students. The participants assessed that media content significantly influences the development of their perception of the world. Although they themselves assessed that, during their schooling, they are inadequately prepared for critical assessment of academic information, media content, and concrete action for the benefit of others, all of these considered important aims of education, everything they have stated in this research may lead to the conclusion that they recognize and perceive problems and that their critical literacy is comparatively high.
