What This Module is About

Welcome to the 21st Century Society!
We live in a world where the quality of information we receive largely
determines our choices and ensuing actions, including our capacity to enjoy fundamental
freedoms and the ability for self-determination and development. Driven by technological
improvements in telecommunications, there is also a proliferation of media and other
information providers through which vast amounts of information and knowledge are
accessed and shared by citizens (Karklins, J., UNESCO).
This Module is an introductory part for the subject in Media and Information
Literacy, which will pave the way towards more meaningful discussions and interactions. This
is aimed in introducing the concept of Media and Information Literacy to Senior High School
learners, as solid ground for college readiness. Basic concepts and terminologies will be
presented as we go along the module.
Together, let us scan the next few pages of this module in order for us to be
fully equipped and to be media and information literate individual. There are several
standard symbols (icons) used as you go about in the completion of this module. For
instance, a hand cupped with a sprout represents an activity that introduces you to a new
lesson or concept. This is reinforced with the magnifying glass icon that discusses the
activity as a part of the lesson, enabling you to discover and understand the totality of the
lesson. Highlighting each lesson is your application of learning, an activity that shall
transfer the skills and knowledge gained into your real life situations, symbolized with a nut

Introduction to Media
1 and Information Literacy

What I Need to Know

In this fast-paced, technology-driven time, we are bombarded with various
information here and there, in the convenience of a click, right in the comforts of our very own
homes. Being Senior High School students, you are expected to be literate, not just in terms
of numbers and letters, but to be able to fully grasp up to what extent information may be
used and distributed.
But first, we need to take a close look at the ways by which we use, and
eventually distribute information. Hence, we will look into communication and its medium.
Take a look at the picture below.

The picture above depicts how each individual communicate at different levels,
at different forms. Each one of us has a personal concept of communication.
Communication is broadly defined as the imparting and exchanging of information or news
(Retrieved from https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/communication on October 31,

 In order to communicate, we use different medium of communication to carry out
the message we want to convey. There are various outlets that we can use in order to
deliver our message. Few of the examples are listed below.

What Is It

As you may have written from the list above, Media is commonly synonymous
with technology. So, what is Media anyway?
Media refers to various channels of communication between a person or persons
and their intended audience. Television, radio, newspapers and the internet are different
types of Media. One of the oldest forms of media is print. Thanks to the ever changing
technology, our exposure to media is almost nonstop. Media shapes our perceptions of
what is real. It surrounds us in the forms of billboards, signage, and even the clothes you
wear. We have radio, television, computers, and smartphones. We have the internet, online
video channels, and all sorts of social media. So stop and look around, media is everywhere,
and it’s not going away anytime soon. Learn about it, understand it, so that you may be
media-smart. (YouTube Channel MediaSmarts retrieved from
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBP_kswrtrw)
Simply put, media are the things or gadgets that we use in order to convey the
details of the information that we want to impart or communicate to people, and the society in
general. Example, if you want to notify your classmate of a meeting organized by a club
you joined, how will you go about communicating the information? Will you send text
messages through your cellular phone? Or maybe send a private message through social
media? Or write it down on a paper, and hang it on visible places around the campus?
Whichever way, you must use a medium to communicate the information. Hence,
communication and media are directly interrelated, such that media serves as a platform by
which one can meaningfully express and communicate oneself.
Furthermore, a specific media (thing/ gadget) can either be a Source of Information,
a Medium of Communication, or both. A media is considered a source of information if the
use of the media provides knowledge and information about something, while a media used
as a channel to convey information is considered a medium of communication. A media can
also be simultaneously used both as a source and a medium of information. To give you
more of this concept, you may answer the activity below.

 What Is It
From the example done for you, a Cellular Mobile Phone with simple call and
text features is an example of a medium of communication, because it allows you to
communicate and reach out to others. However, Smart Phones which are types of mobile
phones having the multi-purpose features of communication, multimedia functionality,
wireless communication like Bluetooth and wi-fi, is an example of both a source of
information and a medium of communication. Needless to say, a smart phone can be
used as a medium to communicate to other people from across the globe, and if loaded
with cellular data, can surf the internet hence, a potential source of information.
Now that we have discussed the interrelationship of media and communication, we
will examine the different concepts that will be used in this subject. We will build your
definition on the following key concepts, as referenced from the Teaching Guide of Media
and Information Literacy formulated by the CHED in collaboration with the Philippine Normal
University:

 From the example given above, Ashley exemplified literacy in the use of
technology, specifically the use of her i7 processor laptop. The i7 processor laptop is a form
of technology, so the answer is Technology (Digital) Technology.
Now that you have concretely conceptualized the similarities and differences of
the literacies enumerated above, we will now integrate the value of being literate in media
and information to your life as a Senior High School student.
Part of integrating values to your learning towards becoming a literate in media
and information is an inventory of your media habit, lifestyle and preferences. This means
that you will assess your personal schedule and list down your common online activities
and quantify it as to the number of hours you have spent engaged for the specific activity.

 Lesson

2 Information Literacy

What’s In
In lesson 1, we have learned the mechanics of communication, in order to
effectively deliver messages to other people, using different communication mediums or
media. There are a number of media uses, each can either be a source of information, or the
communication medium itself. We have also defined several literacy terms, one of which
is Informagtion Literacy, which will be discussed in-depth in this lesson.

What I Need to Know

Generated by Marilou L. Lora from https://bigcrunch.io/v/nAEdNnc7nssE4Xi77EhSJg

• Why do we need information?

• Where do we search for information?
• How do we acquire and store information?
• How do we use the information that we have?
• How will we communicate the information that we have acquired?

The questions outlined above are some of the few questions that comes into mind
when we talk about Information Literacy, which was introduced in the earlier part of this
module. Before we go further, answer the first activity of the lesson.

Activity 1: Situational
Simulation
You are given an opportunity to interview personally the mayor of the city where
you live in. In this case, write down at least five (5) questions that you would want to ask the
mayor.

What Is It
Now, given the above questions which you have personally chosen, it is important
to understand the need to acquire this information that you have asked from the mayor of
the city. These questions are actually a result of you trying to go through the process
towards becoming an information literate individual.
As a review, we already discussed what Information Literacy is. It is defined as the
ability to recognize when information is needed, and to locate, evaluate, and effectively
communicate information in its various formats. Therefore, it is a set of individual
competencies needed to identify, evaluate and use information in the most ethical, efficient
and effective way across all domains, occupations and professions.

 Take note that the concept is appropriately divided into stages as to one cannot
proceed with the next step, unless the initial step is not satisfied. It can be considered as
elements, since each one must be exhibited in an individual if we consider an one as
information literate.
In the table from the previous page, let us just consider a situation relevant to
your experience as SHS student, particularly your task on your subject in Practical
Research. First thing that you need to do is to look for a specific need, a problem that
needs resolution (Stage 1) which will serve as the moving reason for your research. Let’s
just say you want to look into students’ reading comprehension. Stage 2 requires that you
must determine if there are available materials for your references, whether they be in
hard or soft copies, digital or otherwise. Definitely, once you have determined your
information sources, like the internet, books, journals, and the like, you must cite these
sources appropriately in order to not be charged with plagiarism. Stage 4 is all about
analyzing and evaluating which from the varied information available are relevant to your
research topic, and which are not valuable enough for use. This stage requires a full
understanding of the topic or need that you need to resolve. Stage 5 requires knowledge
as to the preservation and storage of the information that you have acquired. You may store
these on a flash drive, or maybe print or photocopy the information for your reference. Stage
6 is all about the proper way of using the information that you have acquired that will be
beneficial to a large number of people. The ethical and legal side of using referenced
materials then comes into question. Finally, you will have to decide then as to the manner
of communicating the information to the vast majority of the people. Definitely as an output
of your Practical Research, you need to have this printed and bounded before submitting to
your teacher.
Let us now test your understanding by doing the activity below.

1. You are researching on an assignment in your subject in Media and Information
Literacy. You came along an article online that amazingly can answer the research
assignment perfectly well. You copy and pasted it into one great essay, complete with
pictures and other visuals. You did not cite your references in order to impress
your perfectionist and strict teacher.
2. A family friend, who also happens to be your classmate in one of your classes
was diagnosed with an incurable illness. Your close family ties enabled you to
know the status of her health, including its severity, and asked you to refrain from
spilling out the information outside of your family circle. In order to help her with
her absences and academic standing, you told your class adviser about her health
status.
3. You are living in a peaceful community within your barangay where everyone
practically knows everyone. Lately, there have been rumors circulating around the
neighborhood that one of your friends is into illegal drugs. Upon investigation and
personal interview, you found out that he is actually using marijuana because of an
emotional problem within his family. You decided to help him by enlisting the help
of psychologists and authorities in order to help him rehabilitate and cope with the
problem. True enough, he was sent to a rehabilitation center in order to undergo
debriefing. The news spread like wildfire within the neighborhood and soon, his
family’s problems was then discussed out in the open. Your friend’s family have
branded you a traitor for helping the “arrest” of your friend and ultimately revealing
their problems to the entire neighborhood.
