Abstract
In this research, the author conducted media literacy education through photography analysis to understand the key concepts in informatics at a high school. As a result of qualitatively analyzing students’ reflection sheets, the author found that the students learned Key Concept (KC)1 “All media are constructions”, KC2 “Audiences negotiate meaning in media”, KC5 “Each medium has a unique aesthetic form.”, “critical thinking about media”, and “communication by media”. Also, the students learned the concept of representation, medium frame, and intention of sender. On the other hand, KC3 “Media messages have commercial, social and political implications” and KC4 “Media messages contain ideological and value messages.” were not as present in their reflection sheets, which implies that the class design should be improved by focusing on KC3 and KC4 and designing lessons around them.
