Investigating the Effect of Media Literacy Components on Improving the Mobile Learning Process During the Corona Outbreak in the Country

In the last few months, and especially in the last few weeks, the outbreak of Covid-19 (Corona) has become an international crisis. Regardless of the consequences, one of the most tangible results is the impact of formal education systems and the closure of schools in 188 countries. Therefore, at this point in time, public education in countries should be implemented in homes instead of schools. One effective way to solve this problem is to create mobile learning areas. Therefore, the study of the effect of teachers' media literacy components on improving the mobile learning process during the Corona outbreak in the country was determined by this study. The present study is based on the purpose and style of descriptive data collection, in terms of application type and in terms of quantitative method (in order to answer the first question, the research method is documented, and to answer the second question, the descriptive-survey method is used). The measurement tool in the second stage of the research was a researcher-made questionnaire whose validity was confirmed by experts and its reliability was confirmed by Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.864. In this study, the statistical population was formed by all principals and teachers working in schools in Tehran in the year 1399-1389, and the statistical sample in the quantitative section was selected by the available method with a volume of 102 people. In order to answer the questions of the present study, descriptive and inferential statistical methods such as the chi-square test have been used. The results showed that from the perspective of school principals and teachers, the three main components of media literacy: the main component of access and use of cyberspace with 5 sub-components, the main component of critical view of virtual media with 5 sub-components, and the main component of virtual media production with 5 sub-components, were identified and prioritized as the most effective components of media literacy on improving the mobile learning process during the Corona outbreak in the country.
