  • Advance information and communication technologies and literary education
    Kordigel Aberšek, Metka
    Most literature dealing with the problems of the modern media and the new technologies can be, according to the current view of things, classified into two groups. The first one warns against the ... damaging consequences of the exposure to these so-called "electronic - drugs". The second group of researchers brings forward the fact that the new technologies and media are a reality of our time and that the school and the teachers should make as much use of its creative potential as possible. The schools have, in this respect, acquired a number of new tasks. This article demonstrates the consequences of changes caused by the modern transfer toward the digital sign system of communication. It shows those "personality" and "capacity" deficiencies which emerge with a long-term exposure to the new media, and which can be "prevented" through the frequent encounters with the literature. It focuses particularly to the non existing competence of inner visualisation after beingexposed to the flood of pictures, vivid (moving) pictures and virtual realities connected with the use of ICT at natural science teaching. The second step tries to find a model of classroom literature teaching which wouldenable literary education to achieve those functional and educational goals and assignments that derive from the literature. And the third step defines the activities, which have to be done to develop the missing competence of visual literacy - with the aim to develop the capacity of seeingand understanding, what information pictures and moving pictures in natural science lesson actually tell, and how to understand them. This step introduces the model of visual literacy curriculum, needed for a new 21st century literacy. Through all that the abilities can be (co)-created that tendto become not sufficiently developed with a too long or too intensive usage of and the exposure to the new media and the competences needed for learning alsovia ICT.
