Keywords:

The present study aimed to design and validate a curriculum model for media literacy in the primary education system of Iraq. A mixed-method approach was employed. In the qualitative phase, the media literacy curriculum for the primary level was designed through a research synthesis method based on the analogy model and guided by Klein’s framework. For validation, the information obtained was presented to experts in curriculum planning and media and information management. The research domain for the synthesis phase, aimed at designing the media literacy curriculum, included reference texts on media literacy and media literacy education published between 2010 and 2025. The statistical population for validating the identified components of the media literacy curriculum derived from the synthesis, as well as for validating the overall model, consisted of specialists in curriculum planning and media and information management. In the synthesis phase, sampling was performed purposefully, while in the quantitative validation phase, a panel of 10 experts in curriculum planning and media and information management was selected using purposive criterion-based sampling. For data collection in the synthesis phase, a library method was used, and the research tool was note-taking cards; in the validation phase, researcher-made questionnaires were employed. Data analysis in the qualitative phase was conducted using research synthesis, while in the quantitative phase, content validity ratio (CVR) was applied through Lawshe’s coefficient. The findings indicated that the designed media literacy curriculum model for primary education comprised objectives, content, learning–teaching strategies, assessment, grouping, time, and place. Moreover, the validation results showed that 90% of the experts and scholars in curriculum planning and media literacy agreed with the proposed model.
