The curricular integration of Media and Information Literacy (MIL) is crucial for
cultivating informed, critical, and engaged citizens in contemporary society. It assists
in addressing the challenges of the digital era and capitalizing on the opportunities
presented by the ever-changing media landscape. Thus, the present systematic literature
review uses the PRISMA guidelines to examine three dimensions in the process
of integration of Media and Information Literacy (MIL) in the prescribed curriculum:
formulation, implementation, and evaluation and challenges. Starting with the
search criteria, 131 studies were found in the Web of Science, Scopus, ERIC, Dialnet
and Google Scholar databases, published between January, 2013, and March,
2023, written in English, Spanish, Portuguese, and Turkish. The findings suggest
that the will of the political sphere and the activism of the triad composed by passionate
teachers, civil society, and academia, are key factors for promoting the introduction
of MIL in formal education. Likewise, it is underlined that the evaluation of
this education policy requires special attention, in order to guarantee the analysis of
its reach, effectiveness, and capacity to adapt against the challenges that emerge in
the media ecosystem. Thus, the intention is to provide up-to-date information for the
creation of policies, research studies, and curricular content on this subject.
