Today, the use of media has become an integral part of education to better understand the use of social media in classrooms as a tool for education; therefore, examining this issue is of great scientific importance and value. In this regard, the aim of the study was to examine the effect of media use on health literacy of elementary school teachers with the mediating role of self-efficacy. The research method is descriptive-correlational type, which, based on the data-driven model, has investigated the correlation between variables with the variance-driven structural equation method. The statistical population includes 193 elementary school teachers in Paveh city in the academic year 2023-2024. Using simple random sampling, 123 people were selected. To collect data, the Saldar Media Use Questionnaire (2021), Montazeri et al. Health Literacy Questionnaire (2014), and Sherer and Maddox Teacher Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (1982) were used. The research analysis was conducted in two parts, descriptive and inferential, using SPSS 26 and PLS 4 software. The research findings showed that there is a negative and significant relationship between media use and health literacy of elementary school teachers at a 99% confidence level (p = 0.014, β = -0.305) and there is a negative and significant relationship between self-efficacy and health literacy of elementary school teachers at a 99% confidence level (p = 0.017, β = -0.200). In addition, the research findings showed that there is no significant relationship between media use and health literacy of elementary school teachers with the mediating role of self-efficacy at a 99% confidence level (p = 0.058, β = -0.058). The results showed that media use and self-efficacy have a negative and significant effect on health literacy; these findings play an important role in increasing our understanding of the impact of media on health literacy and its mediating factors. Also, these results can help policymakers and planners in the fields of health and education to provide solutions to improve teachers' health literacy and increase productivity in the primary education environment.

The significant increase in online programs in educational institutions has led to the emergence of numerous studies. Therefore, the current research was conducted with the aim of investigating the impact of media literacy on electronic learning with the moderating role of demographic characteristics. The method of the present research is a survey. In terms of time, it is cross-sectional, in terms of data collection, it is field-oriented, and in terms of the purpose, it is practical and the perspective of the results is also forward-looking. The statistical population of the study included all students referring to the public libraries of Tabriz city. To determine the size of the statistical sample from the point of view of Norman and Streiner (2003) and the random cluster sampling method was used, and finally 240 students were selected as the final sample, to collect data from the standard media literacy questionnaire (Falsafi, 2012) and the questionnaire Watkins et al.'s (2004) student e-learning was used. In order to analyze the data, Spearman's correlation coefficient test and structural equations were used using SPSS26 and PLS3 software. The results of the path analysis showed that the variable of media literacy has a positive and significant effect on electronic learning (sig=0.0001; β=0.904), also the variable of media literacy has a significant effect due to the moderating role of age, education level and gender. It does not affect electronic learning (sig ≤ 0.05; β ≤ 1.96). Media literacy is a tool to help students critically analyze messages and gain opportunities to expand their awareness of the media environment, so that they can use their creative skills to create media messages.

The current research is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive in terms of survey method. The statistical population includes 50 users of information and digital environments, who were selected as an available sample and in a simple non-random way, and the researcher-made questionnaire with 30 questions was distributed among them, and finally 44 questionnaires were collected. Cronbach's alpha coefficient was used to check the reliability of the questionnaire, which is equal to 0.937. In order to measure the validity of the said questionnaire using the method of internal consistency of construct validity, the results of the correlation coefficient between each of the questions of the components were significant at the error level of less than 0.01, which shows that the said questionnaire has high construct validity. In order to analyze the data, descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (univariate t-test) were used using SPSS software. In other words, the satisfaction of users and the increase in the audience of digital information, as well as the review of web page feedback by researchers in recent years, led to a gradual balance between the visual appeal and functionality of the pages, and rules for their design were formed under It is known as user experience. In the meantime, creating a suitable visual environment for communicating with users, and user interface environments and user experience design has become one of the most important parts of digital information media. Information is provided to the end users of this information through the Internet and web sites (World Wide Web) and search engines. on the other hand, the current research aims to know how much the correct management of digital information can affect the user interface environment and career experience in order to guide users to their desired information environment, according to the components of information management and user research. Thus, according to the goal, the problem of the said research is that, simultaneously with the production and distribution of digital and electronic information on the world wide web, how can information be placed and arranged with the help of user research components (user interface and user experience) managed in such a way that it is accessible to users and the final audience of information in a satisfactory way. Since information technologies and digital data have quickly confronted users with the complexities of interacting with technological and electronic spaces, based on this complexity and the type of interactions, there is a need to develop methods to better understand the audience. And responding correctly to their inner and sensory needs during a research process. The role of digital information management in application research from the point of view of end users is significantly higher than the average and digital information management has played a role in application research to a large extent (63%).
