Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The didactic goals of this lecture on the introduction to media pedagogy consist in the general teaching of the basics of pedagogical theories, models and styles of thinking in the context of the history of knowledge (science) of media pedagogy. A main emphasis is put on the interdisciplinary overlapping of media pedagogy and computer science. For this purpose, in addition to the individual lectures, a (digital) text archive will be made available, which should enable a first approach to the inner differentiation of pedagogical theory. Thus, crucial conceptual landmarks in the history of (media) pedagogy will be sought out, presented and explained.
The general arc of the lecture starts from behaviorism and constructivism to arrive at the end at action-oriented (media) pedagogy.

Contents:

In the course of the lecture, the following topics and focal points of media pedagogy will be discussed chronologically at the respective dates.

Wednesday 07.10.: Media literacy / basic digital education (Baacke): On the competence definitions of media education
