“…The effects of algorithmic cultures are approached in different ways. Kanwischer and Schlottmann (2017) and Reithmeier and Kanwischer (2020) show how digital spatial constructions in social networks can find their way into geographic education processes against the background of structural media education. Dorsch and Kanwischer (2020) and Gryl et al (2020), on the other hand, approach algorithmic cultures via the various dimensions of maturity-oriented education and its relevance for educational processes in the context of digital conditions (Stalder, 2018).…”

This article addresses the current challenges for geographical educational science brought about by algorithmic cultures. It argues from different theoretical perspectives. First, we discuss sociological, cultural and geographical perspectives on algorithmic cultures and link them to selected approaches of media education in general and geographical media education in particular. We conclude from the discussion that Spatial Citizenship Education is especially suitable to address the challenges. This leads to the question of what aspects of Spatial Citizenship Education need to be supplemented to address algorithmic cultures. We therefore examined the curriculum of Spatial Citizenship Education. The analysis demonstrated that the approach is a sound basis for coping with the developments seen in the context of algorithmic cultures. Nevertheless, algorithmic cultures are accompanied by some changes in social and geographical structures that have not yet been captured by the approach. For example, there is no consideration of geomedia as algorithmic, semiautonomous systems. Further implications also emerge. In this context, the investigation into the practicability and relevance of algorithmic cultures for the practical learning process is of particular interest.
