Zusammenfassung: Die Gesamtauswertung der Daten zeigt: Internetnutzer:innen verfügen bereits über einige Grundkenntnisse, um nachrichtenkompetent durch ein für viele Menschen vergleichsweise neues Medienumfeld zu navigieren. So konnte beispielsweise mehr als die Hälfte der Befragten erkennen, wenn eine Quelle nicht neutral oder nicht ver trauenswürdig ist. Und den Meisten war klar, dass man ein unbekanntes Video nicht ungesehen weiterleiten sollte. Überhaupt zeigten die Test-Teilnehmer:innen ein gro ßes Interesse daran, akkurate Informationen zu teilen bzw. Falschnachrichten nicht selbst zu verbreiten. Doch all das sollte nicht darüber hinwegtäuschen, dass die Befragten insgesamt in fast allen Kompetenz-Bereichen überwiegend mittelmäßig bis schlecht abgeschnit ten haben und es oft an ganz konkreten Kenntnissen und Fähigkeiten fehlt. Insofern sind die Ergebnisse dieser Erhebung auch kritisch, weil sie zeigen, dass Bürger:in nen viel zu lange damit allein gelassen wurden, sich in immer komplexeren Medien umgebungen selbst zurecht zu finden."

"Digital technologies have enabled the spread of all kinds of information, displacing traditional formats of usually more carefully curated information such as encyclopaedias and newspapers. The massive information flow of the digital era demands that readers be able to distinguish between fact and

opinion. Readers must learn strategies to detect biased information and malicious content like fake news and phishing emails. What the PISA 21st-Century readers report reveals is that students’ access to digital technologies and training on how to use them greatly vary between countries and students’ socio-economic profiles. This report explores how 15-year-old students are developing reading skills to navigate the technology-rich 21st century. It sheds light on potential ways to strengthen students’ capacity to navigate the new world of information. It highlights how countries need to redouble their efforts to combat emerging digital divides. It also explores what teachers can do to help students navigate ambiguity and manage complexity."

"The opportunity for further growth in the ICT sector by leveraging the sizeable youth workforce, including females, is immense. The Skills to Succeed program in Bangladesh helps vulnerable youth (ages 15-24), living in slum communities, develop employability, ICT technical and entrepreneurship skil

ls, and provides job linkage services to prepare them to obtain decent work in the ICT & Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) value chain, from which marginalized youth have traditionally been excluded. Since 2017, 10,800 youth have received employability skills training (41% female). Additionally, 6,810 youth have received vocational training in ICT and 2,730 entrepreneurship training. Of these, 3,117 youth have been placed in jobs and 504 in self-employment.
One of the key learnings from the S2S program in Bangladesh is that, in order for youth to be more likely to advance in the ICT sector, where technology leaps forward at a fast pace, they need to become lifelong learners and, ideally, develop technology skills at an earlier age. This is why the S2S program is expanding to reach marginalized in-school and out-of-school very young adolescents (ages 10 to 14) to build their life skills, growth mindset and digital skills so they are able to continuously learn, adapt and be prepared to take advantage of the jobs of the future.
An innovative approach for providing access to the internet and build the digital skills of to the most marginalized adolescents and youth in Bangladesh, particularly girls, is the use of a Mobile Training Center (MTC). The MTC moves around Chattogram to provide skills training to adolescent girls and boys at their doorsteps. The MTC has one technical instructor and two life skills trainers. These instructors facilitate a 24-hour training on life skills and growth mindset, and a 24-hour training on digital literacy and citizenship. The MTC is set up in a large bus, it is equipped with 15 laptop computers, internet connection, and furniture to facilitate trainings. Internet access is provided through 3G/4G portable Router Access Points. Service is procured from high quality mobile network service providers in Bangladesh, such as Grameen Phone or Robi, with whom the program has corporate agreements.
By meeting adolescents close to their homes and communities, the MTC will overcome common participation barriers for marginalized and vulnerable adolescents, such as personal safety and the time and cost of traveling to training centers. These barriers frequently prevent girls from pursuing or completing trainings." (Pages 1-2)

n Literacy (MIL), which is essential to empower people with critical knowledge about media functions, information systems, and their content. In the beginning, information literacy and media literacies were discussed separately as distinct fields. After technological developments and a fair amount of interdisciplinary research work in these areas were carried out, based on which UNESCO made considerable effort to bring these fields together as media and information literate. Today’s students and researchers need a different set of competencies like knowledge, skills and attitude are necessary for their work. This bibliography is prepared to bring out a special issue on media and information literacy to help readers who intend to do the research work in this area will get benefitted. This is a comprehensive bibliography covering all areas of media and information literacy comprising information literacy and media literacy, from its origin to the end of February 2021 collected from all sources including online indexing, full-text and digital theses and dissertations databases. Primarily covers journal articles, books, book chapters, conference proceedings, papers published in conference proceedings, reports, book reviews, and Ph.D. theses on media and information literacy."

"What do we know about the gender digital divide for girls? To date, there is little research on gender differences in digital access for children under the age of 18. These disparities in usage limit women’s access to the full range of opportunities offered by digital. However, the limited data a

vailable does indicate a similar pattern of lower access and use for girls, as for women. In countries with data, girls aged 15–19 years were less likely than boys to have used the internet in the past 12 months, and they also had lower mobile phone ownership. The greatest disparities were in South Asian countries. For instance, rates of internet use among boys were double those of girls in Nepal, and quadruple those of girls in Pakistan. Phone ownership was almost 30% higher among boys in Nepal, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. Weekly access to information media was also substantially lower among adolescent girls in Nepal, India, Afghanistan and Timor-Leste. Boys use far more digital platforms and services for a much wider range of activities than girls, and they are more likely to use the internet. Roughly 46% of boys use the internet on their phones, compared to 27% of girls. Another study, by Girl Effect and the Vodafone Foundation, found boys are 1.5 times more likely than girls to own a mobile phone and 1.8 times more likely to own a smartphone. More than half (52%) of girls borrow mobile phones if they want digital access, compared to 28% of boys. As for adult women, this gender gap in access is echoed in digital use overall. As the digitization of economies expands, economic and social growth will increasingly depend upon people’s ability to use technology. While some jobs require very advanced digital skills, most jobs and daily activities need basic digital literacy to engage with a digital economy. Without increased digital adoption and use, girls will have fewer employment opportunities and will face additional barriers to workforce participation." (Pages 6-7)

rogram and ABC International Development. The GO! Cyber project started with a series of co-design workshops, supported by Portable Design Studio, with young women aged between 18-30 years old to understand how young women and girls navigate cyberspace. While there have been interventions to enhance cyber safety in Vanuatu in recent years, there is little research to understand the experiences and behaviours of young women and girls in cyberspace. The guiding principle of the GO! Cyber project is recognising young women as experts of their own experience, so they led the identification and exploration of cyber safety rights, experiences, and issues. The young women then proposed contextually relevant, needs-based and practical solutions for their online safety, which included a series of informative videos and this booklet."

n der »Fear of missing out«. Peter Schmitt analysiert in seinem fulminanten Essay diese neue Normalität. Die Gewalt dieses Umbruchs, der seit wenig mehr als zehn Jahren stattfindet, ist philosophisch noch kaum begriffen. Die Digitalisierung zerrt uns mit wachsender Dynamik in eine Existenzweise hinein, für oder gegen die wir uns nicht entscheiden können. Sprache unterliegt dem Siegeszug der binären Codierung, Musik, verfügbar wie Wasser und Gas, verliert real an Kontur und Substanz. Individualität als grundlegendes Selbstverhältnis des Menschen diffundiert im Netz und Freiheit ist in der digital verwalteten Welt bedrohter denn je. Was bedeutet es, wenn der Mensch zum permanent überwachten Programmanwender wird? Schmitt geht es weder um eine Verteufelung der uns umgebenden Technik noch um eine ängstliche Schutzhaltung. Sein Buch zielt auf ein angemessenes Verständnis des Digitalen und ein damit zusammenhängendes neues, »postdigitales« Selbstverständnis der Anwender. Der Autor plädiert für eine zeitgemäße Medienkritik, die den Blick für die Unwahrscheinlichkeit der Situation schärft, in die unsere Gesellschaft sich hineinmanövriert hat." (Verlagsbeschreibung)
