Médias à l’école: Manuel de l’enseignant. Guide d’encadrement

Ndiaga Loum, Mamadou Ndao, Michel Senecal

Dakar: Panos Afrique de l'Ouest (2005), 165 pp.

"Les médias sont certes une des vitrines d'accès à la formation citoyenne puisque l'information devrait fournir la matière première permettant aux citoyens d'exercer en démocratie leur rôle de manière éclairée. Il ne suffit pas seulement de pratiquer les médias mais il faut aussi, surtout ... , et d'abord les connaître. C'est à cette double exigence que tente de répondre le présent manuel. Pour ce faire, le manuel est subdivisé en trois sections dont les deux premières offrent suffisamment de matière permettant d'accéder à une large connaissance des médias et d'inciter à une réflexion critique quant à la portée des moyens d'information et de communication dans un processus de démocratisation. L'effort de théorisation et de conceptualisation que susciteront chez l'élève les deux premières sections de ce manuel précède une troisième section consacrée à l'acquisition de savoir-faire permettant une initiation à chacune des étapes de réalisation d'un journal. L'accent mis dans ce cas-ci sur la presse en général et le journal en particulier pourrait éventuellement servir de repère pour de futures expériences d'apprentissage dans d'autres domaines médiatiques, comme par exemple la radio, la télévision ou l'Internet. Le lien est ainsi trouvé entre la connaissance générale des médias et la pratique concrète d'appropriation du média qu'est le journal. Le souci de cette articulation logique entre ces connaissances théoriques et pratiques permet ainsi de faciliter la réalisation de l'objectif global du projet, étant entendu que la formation d'un esprit critique est un préalable à l'exercice rationnel et efficace de la citoyenneté et qui plus est d'une plus grande démocratisation de l'espace médiatique. Mais avant de revenir en détails sur les objectifs généraux et spécifiques de chacune des fiches contenues dans ce manuel, il nous paraît important de jeter un regard sur le contexte, mondial d'abord, et sénégalais ensuite, de l'évolution de l'espace médiatique, afin d'y trouver des éléments d'argumentation en faveur de l'idée du projet d'introduction de l'éducation des médias dans le cadre scolaire."
