Abstract

This paper outlines an international comparative research project carried out in 6 English-speaking countries in four continents, based on the original "Models of Media Education" project begun in England in 1992. It is the first international study in the English-speaking world on how Media is taught to 14-16 year-old students. As such, it contextualises and analyses detailed case teaching methods to enable comparative analysis of Media teaching paradigms and practices in different cultures through structured in-depth interviews and systematic classroom observation.
