06 SES 01, Conceptual Issues in Media Education
Paper Session
Contribution
Throughout history visuals have been used in educational contexts. Recently, after almost three thousand years of historiography, turns like iconic turn, pictorial turn, and mediatic turn have been claimed. "Competencies of Visuals" (Ratsch et al., 2009) and their epistemological relevance are intensively discussed in arts, architecture, philosophy as well as in educational, communication, and media studies. In this situation, we are facing new conceptual challenges for media education. On the one hand, there is a long tradition of "visual education" and "aesthetic education", on the other hand, visual literacy, visual competency, media literacy, new literacies are being requested.
The paper starts (1) with an outline of selected aspects of the tradition of "visual education" and "aesthetic education", followed (2) by a discussion of more recent concepts of 'visual competence' and 'visual literacy' and their relevance for media education. Finally (3), the paper seeks to understand the consequences in terms of mediation of knowledge and education in the sense of changing knowledge structures as a consequence of media use as well as in the sense of knowledge "transmission" in educational terms. In concluding it is argued that there is a need of differentiated media educational conceptualizations in visually sophisticated worlds.
