Knowledge society and digital media literacy: Foundations for social inclusion and realization in bulgarian context
Abstract
In Bulgaria there is serious research and regulatory deficits to justify the need for digital media literacy, which corresponds to modern education 3.0. as well as the challenges for different types of interpretations and creativity that, put constantly, innovate digital communication products in all spheres of society. This article is aimed at: “mapping” significant theoretical efforts and applied practices in promoting various aspects of digital media literacy, as well as to explore its dimensions and projections in the society. The analysis is based on several sociological surveys of the education process at South-West University (Bulgaria) revealed different aspects of the relationship between Bulgarian young people and ICT: positions, opinions, and attitudes; and their significance in education, as well as an understanding of high-qualified people. The basic conclusion of the present article is that the adapting of students to the challenges of the digital society and new training practices requires the determining of more effective ways to attract, encourage and motivate students towards the utilization of quality theoretical and applied knowledge and skills in ICT.
... Digital media literacy is a set of competencies that constitutes by the abilities of accessing, evaluating and analysing, creating, reflecting, and acting. It aims for the effectiveness of using new media among online users (Hobbs, 2010;Peicheva & Milenkova, 2017). Accessing refers to the ability of searching and collecting information effectively through various media platforms or technology tools, and sharing the relevant information with others (Hobbs, 2010(Hobbs, , 2011Literacy, 2011). ...
... The probability of encountering cyberbullying would be high if they fail to exercise respect in online communication or have inadequate knowledge to differentiate between online behaviour that is ethical and that is not (Lai et al., 2017). Working in the same vein, the frequency of using technological tools, the right to produce media content, and the opportunity to work with computers could not guarantee that the individual is literate and possesses high levels of maturity in exercising the power of communication online (Hobbs, 2010;Lee, 2014;Peicheva & Milenkova, 2017). 250 Therefore, building up a good understanding to media, the production of message, and its effects to individual or society will assist an individual in developing his or her own perception and interpretation of the world instead of entirely accepting the current events that are delivered by news organizations, thus becoming an active citizen in digital media (Eristi & Erdem, 2017;Potter, 2004b). ...
... When the world becomes more connected, engagement between people becomes interrelated. The presence of digital media technology permits individuals to search for information, produce content, or be involved in dialogue with regards to civic or political topics (Peicheva & Milenkova, 2017). Everyone is a producer, collaborator, distributor, and even a participant with the availability of hardware and software technology (Jenkins, 2014). ...
The number of Malaysian smartphone and internet users has substantially increased within the past few years. Current university students who are considered as Generation Z or the Millennial Generation constitute the major technological gadget users under the growth rate. Their landing changed the landscape of education from passive to active learner. Nonetheless, low self-awareness of internet use, inadequate digital guidance and knowledge justification towards online behaviour, and incompetent exercise of online communication practises are among the factors that might affects this generation's learning in digital media. This paper discusses digital media literacy among Generation Z by understanding their traits and concept of digital media literacy. Quantitative research method would be applied to this study to examine the competence digital media literacy of generation z, in further, to examine the relation between digital media literacy and learning of generation Z. A questionnaire is the instrument for data collection. Pearson's Correlation Coefficient is applied for data analysis. The expected finding aims to provide a guideline for educators in identifying students' learning issues, eventually leading to enhanced teaching pedagogy in the digital age.

... Nevertheless, there is no doubt that specific low-skilled jobs will be eliminated (Dirican, 2015). It should be realized that the massive increase in the use of technology aims to facilitate activities and speed up processes in the Industry (Peicheva & Milenkova, 2017). In dealing with the Industrial 4.0 era, the development and maintenance of competencies for workers are very important to innovate. ...
... Through adequate research skills, it is expected that every individual in the industry understands the patterns of disease and benefits existing materials. Digital skills are indispensable to face the era characterized by cyber-physical systems (CPS) as well as machine-to-machine (M2M) communication through the Internet of Things (IoT) (Buda et al., 2015;Peicheva & Milenkova, 2017). Digital skills are the ability to follow digital developments, understand, and use them effectively (Juwita et al., 2020). ...
This research aims to conduct competency mapping and sub-competencies quantitatively through Delphi method in two rounds to provide comprehensive results. The application of Delphi's approach then refers to several rounds of expert surveys based on existing questionnaires. The first round involved 15 practitioners from the Pharmaceutical Industry. In the first phase, the research explores what competencies are most needed through questionnaires. Furthermore, in phase two, a greater number of participants are obtained through research relations. The second round involves the participation of 71 experts, including practitioners from 19 Pharmaceutical Industries and academics. The results of the study were processed using Exploratory Factor Analysis and produced six factors representing six competencies: learning and innovation skills, research skills, digital skills, bioinformatics, data ethics, and regulatory compliance. In addition, this study produced 44 sub-competencies that representing 6 core competencies. Competencies and sub-competencies achieved can be used as a referral for pharmaceutical practices in the Era of Pharmaceutical 4.0. More research on competencies in the Pharmaceutical Industry is needed to achieve reliable and valid instruments. © 2021, Czestochowa University of Technology. All rights reserved.

Online distance learning policies were formulated and implemented among some Malaysian universities long ago, but their value emerged since COVID- 19. Emanating from the diffusion of innovation theory, this study examined the perception of higher education students on the influence and relationship
between six independent variables (compatibility, observability, relative advantage, complexity, trialability, and digital skills) and one dependent variable (digital literacy). A total of 524 respondents were sampled, comprising students from six public and private Malaysian universities. The findings from the correlation analysis show a significant positive relationship
between the six independent variables and the dependent variable. Meanwhile, in the regression analysis, three of the independent variables (observability, trialability, and digital skill) have a significant and positive effect on digital literacy. This study placed the diffusion of innovation in a specific context that
supports designing online distance learning and digital literacy policies.
... The implications of digitization on skills are a much-debated topic, given the complex nature of the changes involved. The digital age has brought many changes to professions and jobs (European Commission et al., 2018;Peicheva & Milenkova, 2017). An individual may have various competencies unmatching the qualifications, so it is crucial to have a competency benchmark (Abel, 2008;Mitchelmore & Rowley, 2010;Sliter, 2015). ...

Digital media, according to Romer and Moreno [9], gives greater options for product and behavior marketing and social communication, and information technology has resulted in several developments. ...
With the rapid development of digital technology, the development speed of digital media is also relatively fast. Digital media technology has a great impact on people’s lifestyles and aesthetic concepts, and it also has a greater impact on visual art, creative thinking communication methods, and expression methods. In this study, the quality enhancement of digital images has been intensively studied based on the guidance of big data of eye-movement gaze points. A large amount of visual data are collected from public social resources, and the optimization research of image sensory quality is carried out in-depth using the acquired big data. Next, the region of interest (ROI) is obtained by combining the data with a two-dimensional Gaussian distribution model-fitting method, and the obtained data clustered and improved based on the K-means clustering algorithm to obtain ROI fixation points. Finally, discontinuities in the choice of sharpness in graphics and video playback are pointed out, and the final fixation data analysis is utilized. Results show that targeted optimization is very effective in improving the quality of digital images and saving space, enabling users to enjoy higher-quality visual digital images. The proposed method can be used to improve the dynamic resolution of images and videos.

With the development of the economy, graphic design has become one of the main forms of commercial advertising. Designers design different graphic design schemes for different layouts and design requirements, which puts forward new requirements for graphic design process work. With the advancement of technology, graphic design (or visual communication design) supported by digital media technology is not limited to print media, and network media is also included. This research mainly discusses the visual space system in digital media art design. It can be said that the reconstructed space under virtual reality is based on interaction, has an immersive and imaginative space, and is combined with narrative to a certain extent to create a new form of expression for the information expression of space design. This paper first interprets the concept of “space” from psychology, painting art, and film art produced. Then explain the particularity of digital media art design, and it uses the design works to explain the content of the exposition. Connecting digital technology can bring people the uniqueness of aesthetics. This paper makes related theoretical research on the design practice of visual space. In this paper, visual perception in psychology is introduced into design thinking. The concept of visual space is not only expressed in art and culture but also involves the concept of space and time in physics and the scientific research theory of visual perception in psychology. It breaks through the level of perceptual cognition of space in art design. 31.85% of the respondents think that visual space design is attractive. Now is the era of new media interaction. The development of interactive technology and devices has brought infinite possibilities to visual communication design. We cannot accurately say its future development and changes. Because of the emergence of new technologies and media, visual communication design is also expanding its own types of works, and it is constantly developing and improving through the study of people’s emotions and the combination of design and technology. This research has positive significance for the development of the visuospatial system. The advancement of digital media technology has enriched the means of expression in space design creation and expanded people’s living spaces. Through the combination of modern digital media technology at multiple levels and multiple channels, various new spaces can be created to further meet the new needs of contemporary people.

With the diversified development of science and technology and social culture, digital technology provides a better platform for the high-speed dissemination of information, and the “screen-based” lifestyle is becoming more and more common in people’s daily life. This lifestyle has led to visual forms The way of viewing and disseminating language has undergone qualitative changes. Therefore, in order to meet people’s new aesthetic concepts in such an environment, the visual form language conforms to the times and combines with the time dimension. The main purpose of this paper is to conduct research on digital media (DM) art and visual communication design based on computer technology. The most essential difference from the traditional visual form language is the integration with the time dimension. The dimension of time makes visual design more quality and valuable, and allows the viewer’s senses to be extended indefinitely, which satisfies the diverse needs and dissemination needs of image information processing in the DM environment, and promotes visual design into a new era.KeywordsComputer TechnologyDigital MediaVisual CommunicationDM Arts

Objectives of the article are: (1) to explore digital skills and media and information literacy, representing different aspects of the digital person who is responsible for how technology is used. (2) to present that these skills contribute to the development of identity, thinking and decision-making skills, and values. The article is based on several surveys: (1) “Cultural Universals in Academic Environment”, (2) “Fundamental transformations in media and communication systems and its reflections in society”, DN 05-11 2016/2019, team leader D. Peicheva; (3) “Digital Media Literacy in the context of “Knowledge Society”: state and challenges” KП-06-H25/4, team leader V. Milenkova. Students, who are respondents in surveys indicated that they use the Internet anywhere and feel confident in creating different digital content and on-line products. They are aware of the new dangers of emerging hybrid media wars and see the role of the digital media education and literacy in this direction.
The digital transformation of society in the 21st century presents tremendous opportunities and challenges to be agreed upon and bridged by the field of youth. This reflection paper seeks to explore our understanding of social inclusion, the opportunities and challenges for the social inclusion of young people in the digital age, as well as the opportunities and challenges for youth policy, youth research and youth workers in both confronting digitalisation and applying digitalisation to realise social inclusion of young people today and in the future. The principle aim is to sensitise readers to some of the key concepts, range of issues and applied practices that draw on digitalisation in seeking to address the social inclusion of young people. Thus, this reflection paper is meant as an initial prompt for thought, discussion and debate for this year’s symposium. It is hoped that the symposium will further enrich this discussion and debate by stimulating the formulation of key problems and issues, and by reaching a consensus around how to tackle some of these core issues.
In this paper, we particularly focus on conditions for social inclusion, including young peoples’ capacities such as the “human capital” (or competencies) needed by young people today in order to access and negotiate digital technologies. We note the salient issue of trust when thinking about social inclusion and recommend closer attention to how digitalisation can be drawn on in order to directly and indirectly engender trust by young people. The paper argues that digitalisation is both a necessary response to the current and future socio-political-economic climate of Europe, and an opportunity to increase the reach, relevance and impact of youth-focused policy, research and practice. We conclude with some recommendations for thinking about how the youth policy field is moving forward in addressing the breadth of challenges.
The present article analyzes media socialization as one of the key factors for the formation of a digital society, involving the participation of individuals and communities. The objectives of the article are: to justify the impact of family educational institutions and community environments as contributing to the development of digital skills, attitudes and media literacy. The analysis is based on three rounds of European Social Survey (ESS) -national representative surveys carried out in 2006, 2009, 2012/2013, and 2012/2013 that analyzes the participation of the Bulgarian population in the social and political life of the country.
