A Cultural-Technical Alternative to Competence Frameworks

Instead of "media competence," a cultural-technical perspective is needed. This view sees education, competence, media, and humans not as separate units but as equal actors in a chain or association. The focus shifts to the diverse activities and operations from which media and cultural achievements emerge, aligning with theories of distributed cognition and Actor-Network-Theory.
