As a result of this study, we see that teachers need in-service training for classes in media literacy; the media literacy lesson is adequate in terms of content but inadequate as an activity. Students indicated significant changes in their perceptions of media after taking this lesson. A «Media Literacy Level Scale» was applied in order to determine the media literacy levels of the students, and a «Media Literacy Attitude Scale» was used to measure the media literacy status of students. The information on students was obtained through the «Private Information Form» developed by the researchers. As a result of this research, a positive, low-level and significant relationship was found between the students’ attitude levels on media literacy lessons and their media literacy levels. The study’s conclusion is that there is no significant difference between the media literacy classes taken by the primary school second grade students and their attitudes on media literacy in the classroom and their media literacy levels. Also, no significant difference was found between the educational levels of the parents of these second graders and their attitudes on media literacy classes and their media literacy levels. However, there was a significant difference between the students’ daily newspaper reading habits and the frequency that these second graders listened to the radio and their attitudes on media literacy classes and media literacy levels.
