Abstract
Media and Information Literacy (MIL) education is widely recognized as essential, yet its adoption in Vietnamese K-12 schools is still at the early stages. This study examines the current state of MIL education in Vietnam from the perspective of teachers. Drawing on insights from a trial online MIL teacher training program, which includes teachers’ learning journals, lesson plans, and an open survey using SWOT forms, we explore the approaches they use, the challenges they face, and the opportunities in promoting MIL education in their school setting. Additionally, the findings highlight specific professional development needs to enhance teachers’ MIL instruction quality. Our research provides a comprehensive view of MIL practices in Vietnam and offers insights relevant to other educational systems seeking to integrate MIL. Ultimately, this study sheds light on potential strategies to address common challenges, paving the way for more robust MIL integration in schools.
