Sažetak
Media literacy is usually defined as the ability to be aware, access, evaluate, and produce media content. Additionally, it also includes the ability to critically consider not just the content, but the intentions and values of those who produce and distribute media. In today’s online world polluted by fake news and biased media, the importance of media literacy is indisputable. The aim of the research is to examine the media literacy of first-year undergraduate engineering students, as well as students’ perceptions and behavior related to some media literacy aspects. Survey results provide an insight into students’ perceptions of their media habits and suggest students believe they have a decent knowledge of media literacy-related concepts, as well as skills and confidence needed for handling information found online.
