Media education in Asia is a relatively young, but rapidly developing part ofthe curriculum. Research has been conducted and papers have been written on various issues concerning media education in Asia. The dominant models of mediaeducation in the world are broadly Western and most are drawn from English-speaking countries. The question is whether a similar pattern exists in Asia, where there may be differences in culture, heritage, beliefs, values, education policy, as well as curriculum and pedagogy. Are educators in Asia following the Western model in developing and implementing media education, or are they devising their own models? With this question in mind, this book sets out to understand the prevailing perspectives regarding media education in various Asiansocieties. While most debates about media education are carried out in Western contexts, this book hopes to provide a platform for readers to examine this issue in an Asian context. Consolidates the many discussed issues of media education in different Asian countries Paves the way for implementing a media education curriculum which is relevant to the cultural and social background of Asia in the future
