Abstract

Emphasizing the cultivation of adolescents' new media literacy and their ability to respond to the new media environment is of great significance to the growth of young people. Adolescents can enhance their learning autonomy, broaden their horizons, and meet their personalized development needs by utilizing new media in their studies and daily lives; however, new media has certain adverse effects on the construction of a systematic knowledge system and the development of reading, learning, thinking, and critical abilities in adolescents. Based on the characteristics of new media, this article analyzes the pros and cons of new media's impact on adolescents and preliminarily discusses the cultivation of adolescents' new media literacy from multiple perspectives, including the nation, society, schools, teachers, parents, and students themselves.
