Using Media to Teach Religious Studies | 33www.jrfm.eu 2017, 3/2, 17–35 studies. in addition, such analyses provide important data as religious studies seeks to reconstruct the religious “spaces of perception” constituted in medial communication processes. the analysis and integration of these dialectical in- terrelationships between religion and media in religious studies scholarship or the teaching of religious studies could promote and support the acquisition of the media competence necessary for resolving the discrepancies and the ten- sion between first and second-order mediatisation by the students themselves, as described in this essay. in addition, i consider it useful for the teaching of religious studies for spaces to be created in which students can produce different media products them- selves in a didactic-ludic manner. exceeding participant observation, they can experiment with the possibilities of different media. In this way, students can acquire, beyond a theoretical framework, a practical feeling for the charac- teristics of respective media, their production processes and their limitations. through the experimental testing of media production, both the possibilities and limitations of medial mediation can be identified, students can be sensitised in the use of the respective media and the discrepancies between first-order and second-order mediatisation. this could be a fruitful teaching practice in reli- gious studies, for example in processes of learning through research.
