This article considers visualization as a special way in which the individual represents information in the conditions of post-literacy and actualizes technological means from the digital environment. Along with the traditional understanding of literacy (visual, media and information), this study suggests that a new one should be developed dealing with the creation of texts of various modalities.  In connection with this, tasks aimed at developing critical thinking skills focused on understanding and comprehending the mechanisms and content of the conveyed information in actual socio-cultural practices are gaining particular relevance. When combining tradition and innovation in education, visualization is becoming an increasingly common practice teaching method. Media literacy as a set of competencies which allow a person to acquire information, create high-quality content and distribute it in various forms using modern technologies, becoming a part of a large public dialogue. The possibility of representation of data, both visual and visualized, with the help of technologies contributes not only to the inclusion of the student in the media context of the present but also to the professional formation of his personality. Keywords: visualization; digitalization; visual literacy; information literacy; media literacy; traditions and innovations in education

The Media

The media and mass media, which are used extensively in our age, affect individuals in terms of political, cultural, economic and education. The correct and critical use of media requires media literacy and critical thinking skills, among 21st-century skills. Individuals with these skills are required to interpret, evaluate and analyze the information obtained through mass media with a critical perspective. The concept of media literacy is an interdisciplinary concept that falls under the scope of both communication sciences and educational sciences. The aim of the study is to reveal the media literacy and critical thinking skill levels of teacher candidates and the relationship between media literacy and critical thinking skill levels. The survey model, which is one of the quantitative research methods, was used in the study. The study sample consists of 185 Science, Turkish and Classroom teacher candidates studying at different grade levels in the education faculty of a state university in the 2018-2019 academic year. Data were collected using a personal information form, Media Literacy Scale and Critical Thinking Tendency Scale. In the data analysis, descriptive statistics, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test to look at the normality of the distributions, Mann-Whitney test and Kruskal-Wallis test to look at the difference between the variables were used. As a result of the study, it was found that pre-service teachers’ media literacy and critical thinking skills did not show a significant difference according to gender, duration of internet use and the primary function they sought in TV programs. In addition, while the critical thinking skill level of the pre-service teacher does not differ according to the grade level and department, the media literacy skill levels of the pre-service teachers vary according to the grade level and department. In terms of social media tools, it was found that pre-service teachers with high critical thinking levels preferred to use Twitter more, while pre-service teachers with high media literacy levels preferred Twitter and Facebook. In addition, it has been determined that there is a statistically positive relationship between critical thinking and media literacy levels.

The analysis of the scientific and pedagogical literature, during which the essence of the concepts of «media literacy» and «media competence» is revealed through different views of scientists is performed in the article. We understand media competence as a set of knowledge, skills, abilities that contribute to the search, selection, interpretation, use, evaluation, critical analysis, creation and transmission of media information. The media competence of future doctors we consider as their competence in the application of media technologies in their professional activities. Media competence includes competence of information, competence of communication, informational and communicative competences. Media competence is formed through media literacy, which, in turn, is achieved in the process of media education. It helps individuals to think critically, which helps to form a certain understanding and make competent decisions in response to media information. We define media literacy as a process of personal development through the media and in order to form media culture, develop communicative and creative abilities, critical thinking, skills of finding, interpreting, evaluating and analyzing media information with the help of media technologies. That is, a media literate person is able to control the media and navigate in the media environment, to find the necessary information, can control erroneous messages.

Accounting educators no doubt agree that diversity is an important and much neglected part of accounting education. They further recognize that it is difficult to incorporate this important topic into the accounting curriculum. This paper describes the efforts of various professors to expose business and accounting students to the evolution of diversity issues related to the accounting profession by using the book A White-Collar Profession [Hammond, 2002]. A White-Collar Profession: African-American CPAs Since 1921 is a seminal work which presents a history of the profession as it relates to African-American CPAs and documents the individual struggles of many of the first one hundred blacks to become certified. This paper describes efforts of faculty at four different colleges to utilize this book in their teaching of accounting. Instructors found that students not only developed an enhanced awareness about the history of the accounting profession, but that other educational objectives were advanced, such as improved communication and critical thinking skills, increased social awareness, and empathy for others. African-American students, in particular, embraced the people in the book as role models, while most every student saw the characters as heroic in a day when the accounting profession is badly in need of role models and heroes. This is encouraging given the profession's concern with diversity and the attention and resources directed at increasing the number of minorities entering the profession.

The condition of the students’ critical thinking skills in the Kowangbinangun State Elementary School has impacted their learning results. Departing from this situation, a study for improving the students’ critical thinking skills and learning results by using hidrorium as the media should be conducted. Within the conduct of the study, the approach that had been adopted was the classroom action research. Then, the instruments that had been implemented were the test instrument, namely the test items for measuring the achievement of the students’ learning results, and the non-test instrument, namely the assignment assessment rubric for measuring the students’ critical thinking skills level. Furthermore, the data analysis method that had been adopted was the descriptive-comparativee method. Within the first cycle, 4% of the students belonged to the “Very High” category, 14% of the students belonged to the “High” category, and 82% of the students belonged to the “Low” category; as a result, 33% of the students met the passing grade while 67% of the students did not meet the passing grade. The research in the first cycle improved the students’ critical thinking skills and thus 14% of the students belonged to the “Very High” category, 57% of the students belonged to the “High” category, and 29% of the students belonged to the “Low” category. Following up the improvement, the learning results of the students showed that 64% of the students met the passing grade whereas 36% of the students did not meet the passing grade. In the second cycle, the students’ critical thinking skills also improved since 86% of the students belonged to the “Very High” category and 14% of the students belonged to the “High” category. Thus, the students’ learning results improved as well with 82% of the students met the passing grade and 18% of the students did not meet the passing grade.

The current study explores the effects of applying the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) Strategy on the 11th-grade scientific stream Jordanian students' acquisition of the concepts of developing their critical thinking skills. This study's significance lies in its emphasis on the worldwide growing tendency to apply PBL teaching strategies that consider developing the students' mental capabilities and creative thinking skills and, consequently, help them solve status-de- facto educational problems face and solve problems in their lives. The researchers used the experimental method in their study, which is based on studying the relationship between the independent and the dependent variables. For this reason, three study student groups, equal in their age, intelligence, academic achievement, social and economic standing, were selected. Two experimental groups were exposed to the independent variable (PBL) method, whereas the third control group was not exposed to the independent variable. Instead, it was taught in the Motion Unit in Physics by using the traditional teaching method. The results of the study were analyzed statistically, applying for the SPSS program. The Arithmetic Mean, the Standard Deviation, the Torsional Modulus, and the T-Test were used for the study analysis. The study results revealed that the two (PBL) experimental groups have proved to be much more superior to the control group's third traditional teaching method.
