Abstract
Case technologies in training are an effective interactive method of teaching, the use of which is very relevant for developing the skills necessary for work in future journalists.The purpose of this work is to consider the problems of developing media-information competence using case technologies for training future journalists.This study used empirical methods involving teachers (n=8) and journalists (n=8), and journalism students (n=168) in a programme to develop students' media literacy skills.A form was used to assess the students at the end of the programme.During the programme, the teachers and journalists observed the activities and reached a consensus.The quantitative findings revealed that the least developed media information literacy skills of the future journalists are the lack of knowledge regarding the management and regulation of the media, the lack of knowledge to identify and manage inappropriate behaviour in all media and understanding how to present content (style or context) that can affect the perception of the content.Case technologies are effective for teaching journalists in general, but for the formation of media information literacy, additional classes are needed especially thematic classes using case technology to form media information literacy.The results of the study are applicable for the development of training programmes for future journalists in higher educational institutions, self-education of journalists and to improve the pedagogical activities.
