| Sumario: | The aim of this paper is to suggest how media literacy might be developed if worldview literacy is added as a needed complementarity. How do we promote more positive encounters among people of differing perspectives in today's diverse media world where there are disagreements not only about the Ultimate Truth but also about basic facts of news? Worldview literacy education should be an integral part of media literacy training. Beyond understanding how media content is constructed and what purposes it serves, combining media literacy with worldview literacy can support complexity awareness and enable a more effective transformational learning process toward a more just world. In a polarizing society, disinformation, misinformation, and malinformation in the media, as well as populism and hate speech, also target religions and worldviews (Valaskivi et al., 2023). These different literacies together are important for gaining powerful knowledge that means systematically conceptual understanding which enables the student's worldview to expand and to enlarge the mind. Even though human beings are not necessarily peaceful they are still capable of making peace which has been the UNESCO objective of building peace in the minds of men and women. |
