Abstract
In the context of digital development, the importance of digital media education is becoming increasingly prominent, with its evolution exhibiting significant diversity on a global scale. This study aims to explore the differences in digital media education across various countries and regions, focusing on the underlying cultural, social, and technological factors. The research addresses questions through comparative analysis, such as: To what extent is digital media education prevalent in different countries? How do national curricula differ in design? What are the factors that influence these disparities? This study uses literature review and case study methods to examine academic reports, policy documents, and practical case studies from the United States, the United Kingdom, China, and Japan. Cross-cultural comparisons reveal significant differences in curriculum design, educational goals, and the application of technology. The findings show that the level of technological infrastructure, industry demand, cultural preferences, and the extent of policy support are major factors contributing to these variations. By fostering deeper international collaboration and knowledge exchange, the global gap in digital media education can be narrowed. This study provides empirical evidence for future curriculum development and educational policy, helping educators design more adaptive digital media education programs to meet the challenges of globalization.
