Preferred term

child-centered vs. media-centered perspectives  

Definition

  • Researchers and writers in media studies and media education debate the effects of experience with media (e.g., television, movies, video games, the Internet) on children and adolescents. The two major approaches in this debate are sometimes called media-centered perspectives, which focus on the influence of media on children and adolescents, and child-centered perspectives, which focus on their interaction with media.
