| Abstract: | Because of media developments discernible in recent years and those foreseeable in the future, media education has to be looked upon as an absolute necessity. To be able to make media education a reality in schools (which, in this field, are undeniably the most important social institution for young people), the lack of training of teachers in that field has to be remedied. The continued training of teachers in media education described in this contribution must be seen against this background. Within limitations as to region and school levels it was directed at a group of schoolteachers in the province of Carinthia. After some general remarks on media education, the aims and contents as well as the organisation of the course are described. |
