Mass Communication For Effective Education Practices

Abstract

To what extent do young people today see the widespread use of mass media as enlightening them about the world in which they live and helping them to make informed decisions, or as manipulating them into believing something they don't believe? A total of 150 kids from a variety of Jammuarea high schools made up the sample. Frequencies and percentages were used to assess the collected data. Analysis of the data showed that this finding points to the online space being the most approachable for young people, giving them the opportunity to educate themselves. The majority of respondents believe that the media is slanted towards reporting only
negative events and omitting any positive ones. However, 21% of respondents use the medium to unwind from their hectic lives, and 1% use it to learn new things. The results also showed that pupils are easilydistracted by mass-media (online source). Studies have also shown a harmful impact of the media. Some research shows that students have difficulties with networking while using mass media online. The relationship between the media and schooling is examined in this research. Included are the benefits of the media to education, environmental awareness, and the dissemination of new educational ideas in rural areas. The role of media in education and the enhancement of students' creative abilities via the usage of the media are also discussed. Briefly, in the modern day, pupils may greatly benefit from exposure to the media. The media's contribution to learning has far-reaching benefits for society as a whole
