The Construction of China’s Media Literacy Education System in the Context of the Algorithmic Era

Abstract

Following the media literacy education, a more targeted and systematic algorithmic literacy education is urgently needed to be put on the agenda. The study summarizes and analyzes previous research results, discusses the current algorithmic literacy education in China based on the comparison of the current situation of media literacy education in China and the West, and tries to propose a feasible algorithmic education system with wide coverage in light of the development trend of the times. In future research, in addition to learning from others’ experience, we can also start from the algorithm itself to improve users’ algorithmic literacy. Perhaps the huge social changes brought by algorithms cannot be resisted, but people can adopt a positive attitude to use algorithmic media reasonably with an awareness of the essence of algorithms, and be fully prepared to embrace the algorithmic era.
