Cultural aspects and media literacy in higher education – a case study

This article is based on a case study about the implementation of critical media literacy in teacher education in Germany. The results show that there are significant differences in the integration of digital critical literacy at the two types of universities. In addition, the implementation of media literacy depends on the learning culture of the particular university and on the professors involved. Therefore, the integration of media literacy in teacher education is not systematic and sustainable. These results are discussed using the concept of university and disciplinary cultures.
