Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

In today's digital world, children are increasingly confronted with digital media at an early age. This raises key questions: Is digital media harmful or beneficial for young children? In this proseminar, we want to take a closer look at the many facets of the use of digital media by young children and raise the often dogmatic public debate to a scientific level. We will look at current research findings that address both the positive and negative effects of screen use on children's development. We also want to take a look at the current living environments of children and discuss how parents and educational professionals can sensibly shape media consumption in order to take advantage of opportunities and minimise risks at the same time. Another component of the seminar will be a small empirical project in which you will have the opportunity to try out learning apps together with children. The aim of the seminar is to develop a sound understanding of the role of digital media in early childhood and to formulate your own perspectives on this topical issue. This seminar requires active participation in group discussions, the presentation of a short paper and the submission of written work.
