摘要：The aim of this article is to present and critically assess the Media and Computer Literacy Project in Slovenia. The article is divided into four parts. Comparative analysis of the teaching of media and computer in the 1990s in Europe is presented in the first part. The media literacy project in Slovenia is assessed in the second part, while the third part assesses the computer literacy project in Slovenia and discusses information literacy, which refers to the ability to access, analyze, critically review and create diverse forms of information and communication (press, TV and radio, computer) and to develop skills and practices needed in the process of participatory democracy. The fourth part contains an analysis of the reasons why the computer literacy prevailed within the Media and Computer Literacy Project. Computer literacy received more support from the authorities because it broadly agreed with some general political and economic principles valued by Slovenian society. The author suggest that education policy-makers everywhere should carefully review their media and/or computer literacy policies and give clear support to information literacy.
