Abstract:Research on media and information literacy has been growing exponentially over the past years, but it has focused more on the examination of media practices than on the assessment of media and information literacy skills. In this paper we describe the process of designing and implementing a Media and Information Literacy Test comprising 20 items. We present the results of the analysis carried out to validate the items and to construct a scale of media and information literacy skills using Item Response Theory (IRT). Findings indicate that the conceptual framework adopted is adequate to measure media and information literacy and that the test has good discrimination and difficulty parameters. The test is based on a more comprehensive framework used to assess media and information literacy skills than those used in previous studies and can be used on an item-by-item basis. In this sense, it is a novel contribution to current efforts to measure media and information literacy skills.

This research study adopted an analytical design to examine the representations of gender-based violence in Kenyan soap operas and their reverberation on viewer attitudes, perceptions, and behaviour. Grounded in media representation, framing theory, and social constructivism, the study explored the multifaceted depictions of gender-based violence within these popular television dramas. Employing content analysis and focus group discussions as research methods, the study aimed to uncover patterns, themes, and underlying messages pertaining to gender-based violence in the selected soap operas. Through content analysis, the research analyzed the portrayal of gender-based violence, while focus group discussions provided a platform to delve into viewer perspectives, interpretations, and responses to these representations. By combining these research methods, this study endeavored to illuminate the impact and consequences of these media portrayals on viewer attitudes, perceptions, and behaviour. The findings of this study will contribute valuable insights to media policy and practice, social intervention strategies, and audience engagement approaches.

We assume that the individual form’s identity meanings from society's culture The self-sentiment is a crucial aspect. Mobile media usage facilitates the users to develop their self-sentiment related identities in the internet space.
