Abstract

This study explores Algorithmic Literacy (AL) in the context of increasing screen time and social media use among adolescents. It examines various AL definitions, frameworks, and educational interventions through a comprehensive literature review across 18 academic databases. The research synthesizes existing knowledge to propose a conceptual framework for AL education, focusing on cognitive, affective, and behavioral dimensions. It also identifies emerging design principles for AL educational interventions, emphasizing personalization, safety, and authenticity. The study aims to guide the development of technology-integrated learning experiences for middle school students, addressing the growing need for AL education in the digital age.
