The study population of the section included reputable articles and research in the last 5 years in the field of media literacy, and the statistical population related to the validation of the training package included all experts and specialists in the fields of educational psychology, educational planning, media literacy, and communication sciences, who were selected by purposive sampling method. Based on the inclusion criteria, 831 scientific studies were identified, and finally, based on the exclusion criteria, 30 studies were selected for the final analysis. The analysis of the findings was carried out using a six-stage model and open and axial coding methods. Based on the research findings, 116 open codes, six central codes, and three categories related to media education were identified from the coding. In the second part, considering the results of the first part and using the opinions of experts, the general topics of the media education training package for teachers were designed and validated during 10 90-minute sessions. The results of content validation show that the training package has appropriate validity in most topics.
