A Third Emerging Stage for the Current Digital Society? Optimal Parenting Styles in Spain, the United States, Germany, and Brazil
2019
We propose a new paradigm with three historical stages for an optimal parenting style (i.e., indulgent parenting style), which extends the traditional paradigm of only two stages (i.e., authoritarian and authoritative parenting styles). The three stages concur, at the same time, in different environments, context, and cultures. We studied the third stage for optimal parent&ndash
La evaluación de los materiales didácticos digitales
2017
Este artículo presenta los resultados más relevantes obtenidos a partir de un estudio centrado en analizar las características pedagógicas y tecnológicas de una muestra de materiales de repositorios y plataformas de contenidos educativos digitales actualmente existentes en España destinados a la Educación Primaria tanto de plataformas de contenidos educativos comerciales como de repositorios institucionales públicos. El artículo presenta inicialmente algunas refexiones sobre algunos de los principales aspectos que, en nuestra opinión, deben caracterizar la evaluación de los materiales didácticos en el contexto de la sociedad digital. La metodología empleada en el estudio consistió en el aná…
Psychometric properties of the MOBITEC-GP mobile application for real-life mobility assessment in older adults
2022
Aim of this study was to test the reliability and validity of the life-space measures and walking speed delivered by the MOBITEC-GP app. Participants underwent several supervised walking speed assessments as well as a 1-week life-space assessment during two assessment sessions 9 days apart. Fifty-seven older adults (47.4% male, mean age= 75.3 (±5.9) years) were included in the study. The MOBITEC-GP app showed moderate to excellent test-retest reliability (ICCs between 0.584 and 0.920) and validity (ICCs between 0.468 and 0.950) of walking speed measurements of 50 meters and above and of most 1-week life-space parameters, including life-space area, time spent out-of-home, and action range. T…
Technological Drivers and Sociocultural Change
2019
In this chapter, the suggestion is made that the relevance and timeliness of the concept of digital family is owing to certain advances in personal communication technologies that, together with wider social changes in the developed world, facilitate people’s participation in a digital society. First, we take a look at recent technological advancements in personal communication technology and social media applications, after which we examine more in-depth some of the major sociocultural transformations to have paved way for the emergence and rise of the digital family.
Cultura y políticas públicas después del diluvio. Las ciencias sociales y la refundación de la política cultural
2015
Since its invention in the fifties, cultural policy has been the subject of analysis and reflection by the social sciences. Initially, social sciences adopted a critical point of view on the objectives and instruments of public action in the cultural sphere. An attitude that Social Science were losing and finally ended uncritically legitimizing the projects of economic and urban development based on culture. This paradigm is currently exhausted, first, by the excesses one vision instrumentalization of culture and, moreover, by a general collapse of the cultural system due to the economic crisis, lack of planning and evaluation and, because of the transition to digital paradigm. In this cont…
Toward a Collective Agenda on AI for Earth Science Data Analysis
2021
In the last years we have witnessed the fields of geosciences and remote sensing and artificial intelligence to become closer. Thanks to both the massive availability of observational data, improved simulations, and algorithmic advances, these disciplines have found common objectives and challenges to advance the modeling and understanding of the Earth system. Despite such great opportunities, we also observed a worrying tendency to remain in disciplinary comfort zones applying recent advances from artificial intelligence on well resolved remote sensing problems. Here we take a position on research directions where we think the interface between these fields will have the most impact and be…
Cyber-razzismo: la discriminazione razziale nella società digitale
2019
The spread of digital platforms offering the most varied services has certainly become pervasive in last ten years. And we mean by pervasiveness the property that connotes some processes (economic, social, cultural, but also cognitive, or, in another area, biological or natural), as well as some practices, to impose itself as a mode of action or legitimate, functional vision, etc. ., in most of the environments that constitute the area in which they decline themselves. Among these, it is, above all, the so-called social platforms - therefore the social networks, in the first place - that have shown a remarkable effectiveness in terms of pervasiveness, so effective to have determined a modif…
Suomalaiset nuoret verkkolehtien kuluttajina
2017
Digitalisaatio on muuttanut rajusti perinteistä lehdistöä sekä sisällöntuottami-sen ja jakelukanavien muuttumisen että uusien alan kilpailijoiden myötä. Samaan aikaan digitalisaation mahdollistamat muut ajanviettotavat ovat vähentäneet lukemista vapaa-ajalla, ja postmoderni, saturoitunut kulutusyhteiskunta on muuttanut kuluttajien arvomaailmaa ja kulutuskäyttäytymistä. Tämän tutkielman tarkoituksena oli selvittää nuorten kuluttajien asenteita verkkolehdistön tuotteisiin. Digitaaliajalla moniarvoiseen kulutusyhteiskuntaan syntyneet diginatiivit ovat tulevaisuuden kuluttajia. Heidän asenteidensa ja ostoaikeidensa tunteminen on tärkeää kehitettäessä digitaalisia tuotteita ja palveluita. Tutkie…
El coneixement i l'ús de les aplicacions educatives dels estudiants universitaris d'Espanya i la República Txeca
2020
Technological evolution has led to many changes at both professional and academic levels. The inclusion of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) has caused dizzying changes in the different contexts of life (educational, professional, social). More and more applications are being downloaded by users to their mobile devices, both for entertainment and training. For this reason, this study is based on the need to assess the knowledge and attitude of university students towards downloading existing educational applications. In this way, the use and frequency of these tools in the teaching-learning process of the students will be analyzed. In order to carry out this study, the quanti…
