However, media literacy education is not an independent subject. So many scholars have to integrate the content of the media literacy education into other disciplines in the instructional design. But few scholars integrate the content of instructional design of media literacy into the information technology curriculum. And this research exactly takes advantage of the excellent teaching environment of the information technology course. With the character of acquisition, processing, and release of information easily and quickly, this research integrates the content of the media literacy education into the information technology course to cultivate and improve students’ media literacy.Firstly, with the help of the questionnaire survey, this study found that the junior middle school students are just passable in ability of obtaining information, choosing information and evaluating information. But the ability of participation and creativity are very weak. Then base on this situation, this study integrates the content of the media literacy education into the information technology curriculum to accomplish the instructional design whose main aim is to cultivate students’ ability of participation and creativity. Finally, through the experimental study, this research practices the instructional design of media literacy education in the information technology curriculum in junior middle school, and analyses the experimental results to rethink and improve the instructional design.This study provides a new reference for the implementation of media literacy education in the junior middle school stage, and also provides the concrete teaching methods for teachers to enhance students’ media literacy.
