Das MAPA-Modell: Impulse für eine zeitgemäße Medienerziehung im Kontext mediatisierter Kindheit
摘要
Children’s everyday lives are increasingly shaped by media. Digital devices and applications are omnipresent and used at ever younger ages (mpfs.de/studie/kim-studie-2024/). The engagement with digital media offers numerous opportunities, but also poses significant challenges. Parents, in particular, face the pressure of balancing conflicting expectations—such as protecting their children while simultaneously enabling their participation in digital life. How can media education foster responsible and creative engagement with digital media without resorting to blanket rejection? And how can parents navigate the often contradictory demands placed upon them? This article reflects on these questions and proposes impulses for a contemporary approach to media education that moves beyond simplistic prescriptions. It builds on the article “The Mediatization of Childhood and Its Implications on Media Education,” previously published in this journal (https://doi.org/10.1007/s00608-023-01113-0).
