Abstract
For the past few decades, many countries, realizing the necessity of teaching media literacy in the new era, have been teaching this type of literacy and have tried to consider the requirements and local conditions of their country in this field. The experiences of different countries are valuable knowledge that we can use to compensate for our backwardness in this field to some extent and to achieve the local model of media literacy education by considering our local conditions. Considering the importance of teenage years and the focus of media attacks on them, the aim of the current research is to design a native model of teaching media literacy to teenagers. For this purpose, the database theorizing method has been used. The findings of the research show that in the native model of teaching media literacy to teenagers in Iran, two institutions of education and upbringing and broadcasting have a significant role in teaching media literacy. In this model, the main goal is to guide and educate teenagers, and the media literacy training requirements, teaching method and educational content are designed based on the main and secondary goals of the model.
