Work areas

One of her main focuses is the research of media literacy, especially the dimension of " media criticism ". Your main criticism of previous concepts was primarily the inadequate operationalization of the term. The consequence of this is that the ability to criticize the media has not yet been determined in the context of research projects. On the basis of expert interviews , she develops a complex construct that subdivides the ability to criticize the media into several dimensions - centrally into the ability to perceive, decode, analyze, reflect and judge.

A second research focus includes the analysis of social change processes in digital learning worlds. The central starting point of her work is the question of the importance of mobile media for individual and social mobility and mobilization processes. Based on these developments, she advocates a further differentiation of the concept of media competence.
