    Introduction:

    Now that the information and communication revolution has crossed geographical boundaries and created tremendous developments in the field of globalization, a large amount of information and new knowledge is easily available to everyone through information networks and it seems that a "global village" is taking shape. Among these, an important issue is how to deal with the rapid and stunning developments of information and communication technology and their use in various aspects of life. As a useful tool, the media can help contemporary people to live a desired, ideal and fruitful life by using the latest scientific phenomena; In addition, if this tool is used incorrectly or with malicious intent, it can act as a destructive and disastrous force. In order to be able to have an audience that can protect themselves from the challenges and destructive consequences of these media in addition to the conscious and active use of these media, a new "literacy" must be created. So first, we need a broader definition of "literacy" and increase its conceptual space, which no longer means the ability to read and write, a concept that is referred to as "media literacy[2]". "Media literacy" or "media education [3]" in addition to the remarkable ability in traditional literacy, which is the ability to read and write, creates the ability to analyze and evaluate messages and the ability to transmit information to others in different formats and with different tools. Also, by empowering people to understand the working methods of the media, it makes them resistant.

    "Media literacy" is an attractive topic in communication that tries to teach the audience to read the unwritten lines of written media, watch plans that have not been shown or listen to sounds that have not been broadcast from electronic media. changes and teaches them how to use the media by making the audience aware. Citizens who are media literate increase their level of awareness and ability to receive information through the media, and with this ability, they move towards strengthening the critical spirit and turn a one-way and passive relationship into a two-way and active flow. (Rasakh Mohammadi, 1385: 7) The importance of media literacy and its necessity have been noticed for years in advanced countries, and government and civil institutions are trying to educate and spread it among different sections of society. For example, the topic of "media literacy" has been discussed in Canada for a long time and it has its own place in the public education system of this country. In Japan, the idea of ??media literacy has spread rapidly and they have thought about media education and production on a large level, and based on the studies conducted in other countries and using their experiences, they determined the goals and approaches of media literacy according to the needs of the society and encouraged its education. For this purpose, educational, civic, trade and media institutions should help in this matter, and in the meantime, mass media, especially radio and television, have a great role in teaching media literacy to their audiences, considering the wide range of audiences. The importance of the educational function of the means of mass communication in contemporary societies is such that some sociologists assign the role of "parallel education" or "permanent education" to the media (Motamanjad, 2011: 13). The education provided by the media is non-abstract and multidimensional. Studies have proven that the active use of the five senses in media education makes learning easy and doubles the interest of education. Media literacy is also a category that can be effectively taught to the audience through radio and television.

    The role of teachers in this field is perhaps to try to find a way to find out how to help students understand the multiple cultural and social roles of mass media in society and the extent of the media's influence, without directly putting them on a specific path. Although media aesthetics may fit well with traditional curricula, the broader social, economic, and political aspects of media should also be explored.Whether this leads to consumer activism or not depends equally on the participants and the teacher, and this is if a suitable combination of free discovery and unbiased evaluation has been created.

    If teachers have proper media literacy, they can teach students things such as critical thinking and looking at the media, appropriate socialization, and how to properly deal with the media in their approach and teaching. be placed at a higher level. This issue prompted the researcher to try to travel a part of the winding path of the expansion and development of the concept of media literacy and media education. 1-1 statement of the problem:

    Researchers and researchers consider the field of media literacy to include "research, analysis, education and awareness of the effects of media such as radio, television, movies, newspapers, magazines, books and the Internet on people and human societies". (Kamalipour, 2015, online) based on this definition, media literacy seeks to teach a person the necessary ability to use the media so that a person can distinguish positive, useful and constructive messages and programs from negative and meaningless messages while understanding and analyzing and evaluating the messages of different media. It means that a person should consciously face the media and find the ability to access the desired messages from among the multitude of messages, analyze and analyze them, evaluate and send messages in different types. The history of this thought, which is based on an urgent educational need, goes back to the year 1960 and follows the popularization of television, radio and Hollywood movies. In the meantime, television stole the lead from other media so that most people preferred to watch rather than study. One of the consequences of this social and educational change was the decrease in students' desire to read and books, and researchers state the stagnation of students' intellectual concentration in the classroom as a complication of this social change. Therefore, due to the negative effects that indiscriminate use of media, especially television, internet and satellite can have on people, especially children, the need to control and how to use the media was firstly noticed by researchers. In the meantime, the researchers announced that people, especially children, should be careful when using the media and vaccinate themselves in the face of countless messages, that is, they should become aware of their media consumption regime and strengthen their ability to recognize and understand the messages of the media. do Therefore, the subject of media literacy was considered as one of the concerns of communication science scientists.

    "Dewey" considers reflective thinking to be careful, active, and continuous attention to information and the contexts that support it and considering the results and consequences of that information. By actively participating in this type of thinking, learners can be aware of their learning and control it.

    In general, the meaning of reflective thinking is that the student provides an estimate of what he knows and what he does not know with the necessary care and thought. In this way, in the face of media education, he can estimate what the media teaches him, how he is guided by the media, what points he knows in this case, what he should know and how to recognize and adjust and complete the gap between these situations.

    Learning media literacy requires the active involvement of students during this type of education and the presence and activity of teachers with a higher level of media literacy play a significant role in this process. In this way, strengthening students' thinking and cultivating students' thoughts in the way of reflective thinking is one of the structures that lead to students' deep thinking about media.

    In modern education and training, learning does not mean collecting information. Rather, it means active or active participation in acquiring experiences and giving meaning to those experiences. In this concept, thinking has a special place.
