Media literacy is concerned with a set of skills and competencies required to access, analyse, evaluate, create, understand and use the complex messages communicated via all forms of media. Our children, adolescents, and young adults (CAYA) are constantly exposed to a variety of media, with their content and messages, many of which are uncivil and alien to our culture, values and norms. Unfortunately, the educational system of Nigeria, specifically at the primary, secondary, and tertiary school levels, did not make provisions for inculcating media literacy skills in these CAYA for understanding, withstanding, and appropriately coping with the messages of these media outlets. This is in addition to scholarly publications that revealed obvious loopholes with reference to media literacy skills level of CAYA in the society. Thus, there is a media literacy gap that needs to be addressed. This paper articulated the concept of media literacy, media literacy education, developing media literacy skills using appropriate learning theories, and strategies of fostering and addressing media literacy education in the educational system of Nigeria.</p> Maureen Chidera Igwe Copyright (c) 2026 Global Journal of Educational Research 2026-08-05 2026-08-05 25 2 169 175 10.4314/gjedr.v25i2.1 https://www.ajol.info/index.php/gjedr/article/view/331764 <p>Education can never be the same again as it evolves with the advent of AI and its adoption. Higher Education students are not left behind as ethical usage of AI can reduce time in searching for journal links and other information necessary for research. This study identified the extent of Utilization of Artificial Intelligence tools among students studying STEM-related courses at the Lagos State University. The study also discovered the factors mitigating redundancy in the utilization of Artificial Intelligence-based tools and the impacts on the students. The research question was assessed using descriptive statistics, specifically simple frequency and graphical illustration using Pie charts and Bar charts. Interestingly 95.1% of respondents have utilized AI and Female students demonstrated higher levels of awareness and more positive perceptions of AI-based systems compared to their male counterparts. Also, about 77.1% of them use chat-GPT for their research purposes and agree that AI has improved their research by pointing them in the right direction</p> Olaosun, Oluwatobi Joshua Folorunsho, Michael Damola Olatise, Olubukola Motunrayo Godwin, Emonena Sikale Oluwaseyi Michael, Elijah Oluwadara Adetunji, Goodness Ekene Hillary Zannu, Kikelomo Naomi.
