The TAMeLi project has been laying the groundwork for its research phase. WP2 "Contextual Mapping and Analysis", has made a strong start, with the University of the Aegean working closely with the University of Florence and the wider consortium to develop a shared template for the project's literature review.
Each partner will now conduct a national literature review, with the findings to be compiled into a comprehensive report later this year. This research will provide the evidence base for the European Model being developed in parallel under WP3.
Key progress includes the development of a common template for the national literature reviews and the preparation of an initial, structured list of relevant digital and media literacy frameworks. A series of meetings and collaborative discussions among partners has also helped clarify key concepts, terminology, methodological approaches, and the scope of the analysis.
These preparatory activities are establishing a coherent foundation for the comparative review of Digital and Media Literacy in teacher education across the participating countries, directly supporting the development of the TAMeLi European Model.
TAMeLi project has also made strong progress in developing its "European Model", a framework to help teacher educators prepare (student) teachers to bring digital and media literacy into everyday classroom teaching. Partners from across the consortium came together to shape a shared understanding of what the model should achieve: equipping teacher educators, student teachers, and ultimately pupils with the right mindset, awareness, and skills to design effective, evidence-based lessons on digital and media literacy. The project has agreed on key building blocks for the model, including which existing frameworks (such as DigComp 3.0 and Mediawijs) will help inform its development, and has committed to keeping the model flexible so it can be used by teachers across different countries and school subjects. With this foundation in place, the project is now moving from concept to practice, with a first full version of the model expected later this year.
