Diagnostics of the formation of median skills in modern students

The presented article analyzes the situation with media education in the student environment. Media education refers to the process and result of mastering the skills of a successful life in the digital world, including the skills of critical analysis of media texts, creative and aesthetic skills, communication skills and safety skills. In the pilot experiment, empirical research methods such as polling and conversation were used. The reference group consisted of about 100 students from two universities - MGIK and HSE University. The analysis of the received data shows that the majority of students, regardless of the profile of training, are aware of the need for media education. At the same time, they assess their level of median skills in all areas as insufficient, which indicates that there is a contradiction between the needs of the modern social situation and the practice of education.
