Media Literacy and Media Education Research Methods: A Handbook

Edited By Pierre Fastrez and Normand Landry

Routledge, 2024 (Series: Routledge Research in Media Literacy and Education)

This handbook interrogates the foundations of media literacy and media 
education research from a methodological standpoint. It provides a 
detailed, illustrated overview of key methods used in the study of media 
literacy and media education. Further, it reveals the diversity of this 
research field and organizes this diversity by using three categories of 
investigation: media practices, educational initiatives, and 
prescriptive discourses.

The book offers valuable reference points and tools for exploring the 
range of research methods used to study media literacy and media 
education and how these methods connect to epistemological stances, 
theoretical frameworks, and research questions. It serves as a guide for 
researchers who wish to position themselves, reflect on the methods they 
use or are considering using, and compare and contrast them against 
alternative or complementary approaches. After reading this book, 
readers will be better able to identify and define the objects of study 
in media literacy and media education research, the preferred ways of 
conducting investigations, the phenomena, issues, and dimensions that 
these are likely to bring to light, and the knowledge that they generate.

This comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the field of media 
literacy education research methods will be of great interest to 
scholars and students of education studies, media studies, media 
literacy, cognitive science, and communication studies.
