Abstract<br />

For a long time, two opposite points of view have centred a debate: whether<br />

Media Literacy should be a subject within the curriculum or whether Media<br />

Literacy contents should be dealt with across curriculum. Nowadays, new<br />

educational guidelines coming from the European Reference Framework on<br />

Key Competences for Lifelong Learning call for a new debate as the key<br />

competences have been incorporated into the currículum.<br />

My contribution deals with the formal Spanish and Catalan curricula for primary<br />

and secondary and the way they have incorporated them on curricular subjects.<br />

In 2007, a new educational programme, Ley de Ordenación Educativa (LOE,<br />

Real Decreto 1513/2006), was designed by both the MEC and the Autonomous<br />

Catalan Government. Media Literacy had a more explicit presence as it became<br />

integrated within the eight key competences, specifically on the Audiovisual and<br />

Linguistic communicative competence one. However, as previous attempts to<br />

integrate Media Literacy in the curricula had proved deficient and the new<br />

competences have not yet either been fully developed, it becomes necessary to<br />

put forward the specific contents for the Audiovisual competence.<br />

Consequently, in 2009, the Catalan government requested the design of a<br />

syllabus for each of the eight key competences which were not related to a<br />

specific subject. A trial detailed syllabus was developed for the Audiovisual<br />

competence so as to incorporate it into the previous educational programme. I<br />

was asked to collaborate in the development and organisation of the main<br />

objectives and contents for primary and secondary. In particular, I was asked to<br />

arrange the sequencing by stages and levels of this parallel educational<br />

programme. The theoretical framework to develop the Audiovisual competence<br />

came from the “European Reference Framework on Key Competences for<br />

Lifelong Learning” (2007), Ferrés (2006, 2012), “A European approach to Media<br />

Literacy in the digital environment” (2007) and Bernabeu et alter (2012).<br />

Key words: Media Literacy, media competences, educational programmes,<br />

European policies for Media Literacy, key competences, media education.<br />
