Description
Learning in and about a filtered universe Maria de Haan and Tjitske de Groot will present their findings of their research on youth’s awareness of algorithmic filtering on social media. These findings are part of a project in which they develop an educative app: ‘The Filterbubble app’ which aims to teach secondary school students about algorithmic filtering. In their study of the algorithmic experiences of secondary education students in the Netherlands, they make use of the concepts of algorithmic imagination, power and critical evaluation. Results show students build situational, practical-experiential knowledge of algorithmic workings closely in line with the features of the interface of the social media platforms they use. Implications for media literacy include providing students with system-level awareness and agency, including insights into the socio-political consequences of algorithmic workings
