This thesis explores the integration of media education into preschool curricula for senior and preparatory group children, examining the influence of media-based activities on their cognitive, social, and emotional readiness for school. Through the application of various instructional strategies and digital resources, media education allows children to cultivate critical thinking skills, digital literacy, and collaborative problem-solving abilities. The research identifies the specific benefits and challenges involved in adopting media-based education for preschoolers, highlighting how media literacy can be incrementally incorporated to foster an inclusive and effective learning environment. The findings suggest that media education can significantly enhance school readiness by promoting the acquisition of foundational literacy skills, critical observation, creativity, and respectful interaction with peers.
