Discussion
Which of the following are recognized types of literacies according to contemporary educational discourse ?
(i) Information Literacy
(ii) Media Literacy
(iii) National Literacy
(iv) Technology Literacy
Answer: A
The answer is (i), (ii) (iv) are correct.
Information literacy (finding and evaluating information), media literacy (critically reading mass and social media) and technology or digital literacy (using computers and networked tools) are the standard literacies of contemporary educational writing, and UNESCO groups the first two as media and information literacy.
'National literacy' is not a recognised type of literacy; it reads like a national literacy rate or mission. Every option containing (iii) is therefore wrong.
