For this purpose, this study introduces the concepts and theories of media literacy that have been developed in the field of media literacy education.

The scope of this study is limited to media literacy education which is one of the broad areas of media literacy. In terms of the types of media, this article includes both analog media and digital contents as the object of the research.
