Training and Research
On this page we inform about media education training and research in Finland.
MEDIA EDUCATION RESEARCH
Media education research is still fairly new in Finland. As a multi-disciplinary field of science its researchers have been located in various fields and faculties, when the theoretical basis of media education emanates from several traditions. From the perspective of the further development of teaching and research in media education a decisive step forward was achieved in 2005 with the founding of the Finnish Society for Media Education. The Society rapidly gathered together actors in the field from universities and schools and from associations and organisations in the media field.
