Abstract
The author reveals the peculiarities of the national organizations’activities in the media education development in Canada and Australia. Intensive development of educational and scientific cooperation between the academic communities of Canada and Australia in the media education has contributed to the formation of global professional networks of the international community, which has an impact on the formation of concepts and strategies for media education in different countries, in particular due to the formation of a leading experts corps, members of international and national organizations. The article analyzes the Internet sites of organizations of media education of Canada (Canadian Association of Media Education Organizations – CAMEO, the Associations for Media Literacy – AML, Association of Media Literacy for Nova Scotia – AML-NS, Quebec Association for Media Education – AMEQ, Manitoba Association for Media Education – MAML, Alberta Association for Media Awareness – AAMA, the Jesuit Communication Project – JCP, Media Smarts – MS, British Columbia Association for Media Education – CAME) and Australia (Australian Teachers of Media – ATOM, Australian Teachers of Media, Queensland – ATOM QLD, South Australian Association for Media Education – SAAME, Australian Council on Children and the Media – ACCM) according to the criteria developed by the author. The most important activity of the analyzed national organizations of media education is the development of media education of students and youth: both in the direction of integration into basic subjects and autonomous character. Canadian and Australian media education organizations have a hierarchical structure, with Australian Teachers of Media having associate partners across Australia, including Queensland, Victoria, New South Wales, Western Australia and the Australian Capital Territory; the Canadian Association of Media Education Organizations has locations throughout Canada. Based on the analysis, the author concludes that media education organizations in Australia and Canada follow the basic theoretical approaches to the media education development. Despite the fact that there is a difference in certain approaches between certain organizations, they primarily emphasize at least one of the defined theoretical approaches.
