Media, Child Development and Religious Formation

A

Chesapeake

Because of the extent to which our media environment shapes our beliefs, values and lifestyle, today's religious educators are faced with a new challenge. Religious formation requires integrating media literacy with religious education. The three essential stands for an effective program are an awareness of our media environment, an understanding of the stages of child development, and knowledge of the basic themes of religious education. This presents a model using these three strands.
