Abstract
As misinformation spreads online, discernment of reliable information is a crucial skill to make informed decisions. This study explores middle-school students' abilities to evaluate fabricated and manipulated visual representations, and which strategies they use to evaluate visual misinformation. Findings indicate that students partially identified visual misinformation and employed various strategies including visual evaluation, content evaluation, corroboration, and source evaluation.
