The aim of the course is for students to get to know in detail the evolution of the relationship between education and the mass media asν it is formed in each era. The course focuses particurarly on the interaction of education and especially school education with modern media. At the center of the overview are the audiovisual media and their role in the organization and functioning in school but also more broadly in educational changes. The interaction of school education with modern audiovisual media is examined at three levels;
Educational knowledge: the most important changes observed in educational knowledge are systematically presented, which are linked to the dominance of the media, especially the audiovisual media, in public communication and communication in general. More specifically, it presents the changes in the semiotic structure of school textbooks (images, typography, full-text relationship, verbal-expressive codes), in the content of school textbooks (thematic content, relationship between humanistic and technical knowledge, aesthetic-informative approach), in curricula (shift from subjects to themes, from humanistic to technical subjects, etc.).
Social roles and social relations in school: Examines the culture of the image, and particularly virtual ideology, as a source of role modeling for teachers, for students, and for shaping the classroom situation.
Virtual ideology as a source and field of restructuring of cultural capital: The analysis of this section takes into account the specialization and more generally the changes in the organization of work. In this way, changes in the internal organization and functioning of education, with the influence of virtual ideology, are linked to its outputs or educational functions. In this sense, any changes in education, under the influence of audiovisual media and their culture, have a broad functional foundation within the social system
