Spiel und Medien nehmen seit langer Zeit eine bedeutsame Rolle ein, nicht nur für Kinder und Jugendliche. In den letzten Jahren haben digitale Spielewelten auch im Kontext der Bildung zunehmend Bedeutung erlangt. Allerdings kann in ihrer (medien-)pädagogischen Handhabung längst nicht von Standardisierung gesprochen werden. Einen Beitrag zur Standardisierung liefert das Buch anhand der drei Bereiche Theorien, Methoden und Praxis. Dabei werden wichtige Ausgangsperspektiven, innovative Konzepte und Projekte vorgestellt, aktuelle Forschungsthemen skizziert und Tendenzen erörtert. Das Buch verortet die Spiel- und Medienpädagogik innerhalb der Kulturellen Bildung, stellt beteiligte Fachdisziplinen vor und erläutert den Einsatz digitaler Spiele in Bildungskontexten. Damit eignet es sich zum ersten Einstieg ins Thema, bietet Fachkräften in diesem Bereich aber auch weiterführende Anregungen und Vertiefung.

Finden sich in den virtuellen und medialen Räumen von Kindern, Jugendlichen und jungen Erwachsenen auch soziale und (IBM) trotz Medialität (IBM) authentische Prozesse?

Die Veränderungen im Umgang mit Bildwelten wirken sich auf Selbstkonzepte und Fremdwahrnehmung aus. Die Fotografie spielt dabei heute eine wesentliche Rolle. In der Publikation werden neben Theorien Praxisbeispiele für die Arbeit mit Kindern, Jugendlichen, Erwachsenen, Senioren und spezifischen Gruppen gegeben. Technische und gestalterische Grundsätze ordnen sich hier den Zielstellungen und Interessen dieser Zielgruppen unter. Es werden rechtliche Grundlagen für die pädagogische Arbeit mit dem Medium Fotografie erläutert und eine Verortung der Fotopädagogik innerhalb der kulturellen Bildung vorgenommen.

Work-related stress and stress-related ill health are major concerns in modern Western societies. In the European Union, the joint Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) framework obliges employers to ensure the health and safety of workers in every aspect related to work, including psychological safety and health. Against this background, the aim of the present study was to gain a deeper understanding of the cross-cultural validity of the Psychosocial Safety Climate (PSC) instrument as a measure for organizational and managerial commitment to employee psychological health. By integrating findings from cognitive interview studies conducted in Germany and in Sweden, we found participants considered the focus of PSC on managerial and organizational perspectives as an important contribution to workplace surveys. However, we were also able to identify some challenges (e.g., in relation to translation of key concepts, the intended shift of referent, and the use of the intermediate response options) as difficulties in identifying a homogeneous PSC within an organization was also observed to some extent. We can conclude that integrating findings from cognitive interviews conducted in two European countries expands the existing knowledge of the PSC measure. This is achieved by a deeper understanding of problems that might occur when transferring PSC to a different context. The overall findings of the present study corroborate the cross-cultural validity of transferring the PSC measure from an Australian to a European context, and we consider PSC to be a valid and useful framework for targeting psychosocial risks and organizational procedures in a European setting.
