zación de las interacciones, acelerando la innovación educativa en el confinamiento global, acentuando las desigualdades existentes y obligando al sistema educativo a reinventarse de manera urgente. Afrontar los retos que suponen la continua transformación mediática, la difusión de informaciones falsas sin control, el nuevo rol de los usuarios, múltiple y cambiante, y la generación de los personajes protagónicos de las redes, los influencers, entre otros aspectos, exige una formación específica que disminuya la brecha existente entre los procesos de enseñanza-aprendizaje y los cambios que se están dando en la sociedad. Así, el presente currículum aborda de una forma concreta y adecuada al perfil de los docentes las competencias que cualquier educador, independientemente del nivel y de la asignatura que imparta, debería desa rrollar para poder formar a su alumnado, atendiendo a los desafíos que nos impone la sociedad digitalizada y lograr, de este modo, que se desenvuelva eficazmente en ella. Este texto es una obra colectiva, producto de investigaciones y experiencias de los miembros de Alfamed, Red Euroamericana de Investigadores en Educomunicación. Desde una visión plural, multicultural y diversa, se ofrece un programa global de formación de profesores en educación mediática que amplía y actualiza el Curriculum MIL Unesco para los retos pospandémicos de la tercera década de este siglo. Participan un total de 22 investigadores de 12 países de América y Europa." (Contracubierta)

0 years. The methodology suggested in this handbook can easily be adapted by other actors in the educational sector working in different learning contexts. It begins by providing background knowledge about the topic of fake news and digital competences, followed by guiding steps on how to work on this topic with students in a short module. The learning methodology used is based on enquiry-based learning, so students can be supported to conduct a small-scale research project on a self-chosen topic connected to fake news. Information on this can be found in Chapter 3 of this handbook. In Chapter 5, the concept of peer-to-peer learning is used to set up learning processes between students attending the short module."
