Abstract

The evaluation of the media literacy of citizens and the framing in proficiency
levels has been on the agenda. Since 2007 that the EU recommends that, every
three years, the Commission should present a report on the levels of media literacy of all member states (European Union, 2007). To respond to this request, different projects have emerged all over Europe, in the academy and beyond. Although interest in this field of research has grown in recent years, it is also evident that empirical research is still poorly grounded and scarce.
In this paper, we describe the operationalization of a methodological instrument
designed and applied in the research project “Media literacy and citizenship. Practices and competencies of adults in training in Grande Lisboa”, developed, between 2009 and 2013, in CIES‑IUL: a test of media literacy, to assess media literacy skills/competencies.
