Teachers’ Use of Internet Resources for Preparing English Lessons
2011
The twenty-first century is unquestionably the age of the Internet, which is an inexhaustible source of information instantly available. Multimodal texts obtained via the Internet, cheap, authentic and varied, may be successfully used in the process of teaching foreign languages. The paper presents the results of a survey which aimed at diagnosing if and how teachers of English as a foreign language use Internet resources in their teaching. The results reveal that almost all the respondents, young of age and of teaching experience, are skilled Internet users who strongly rely on this resource also in their professional activity. They use the Internet to find teaching materials that suppleme…
¿Son realmente tan buenos los nativos digitales?: relación entre las habilidades digitales y la lectura digital
2015
Digital reading literacy consists on the comprehension, use, reflection and enjoyment of written texts with the aim to fulfill our goals, to develop our knowledge and potential, and to participate in our society. Currently it is considered that “digital natives”, i.e. those students that have been raised surrounded by information technologies, poses the basic digital skills (such as using the mouse, the browser, …) required to develop digital reading skills. The present study tested this assumption, by means of a study in which students of 5th level of primary education and 3rd level of secondary education performed a series of digital reading tasks. In addition, students completed several …
Acquisition of competencies with serious games in the accounting field: an empirical analysis
2018
El actual sistema de educación superior se basa en un aprendizaje activo por parte del estudiante enfocado al desarrollo de competencias genéricas y específicas. En este contexto muchos autores defienden el uso de simulaciones que favorezcan dicho aprendizaje y, los denominados «juegos serios» (serious games [SG]) se adaptan a este reto. Sin embargo, el empuje que cabría esperar por el desarrollo de las nuevas tecnologías y de la llegada de los denominados «nativos digitales» a las aulas no es coherente ni con su grado de implantación ni con la escasa investigación desarrollada sobre la efectividad de su uso. Los objetivos de este estudio son describir una experiencia docente de implantació…

Information behaviour of the millennial generation: a scoping review of medical residents and their use of social media.

Methods A search was carried out in pubmed, embase, cinahl and lisa in April of 2018, with the results limited to the period from 2010 onwards.

Beyond good and evil: The impact of digital environment in family life
2019
Internet has changed the way we interact with others and has become an essential tool for daily activities. Children and adolescents are the main users of new digital technologies and their first contact with a screen happens increasingly earlier in life. Its premature use can be dangerous: technology represents a “supernormal stimulus” that can act on the brain reward circuit and affect neural development. In this article we describe the effects of technology on the brain, well-being, social and family relationships, highlighting both positive and negative ones: rather than defining a priori any type of technology as “good” or “bad”, we should consider how specific applications are used in…
Ritorno al futuro. Miti e realtà dei nativi digitali
2012
Due necessità e una tesi di fondo hanno ispirato la stesura di questo libro sul rapporto tra media digitali e minori. La prima necessità, più scientifica, richiede di tenere insieme, attraverso approcci di ricerca multidimensionali, la dimensione micro e macro così da mettere in luce la complessità dei fenomeni evitando di cadere in riduzionismi dicotomici quali apocalittici vs. integrati, nativi digitali vs. immigrati digitali, media come manipolazione vs. media come empowerment. La seconda necessità, più politica, richiede di individuare azioni educative affinché questa complessità venga colta dai minori così che le loro esperienze digitali diventino una forma di azione sociale dove la di…
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…

Digital natives, the generation grown up surrounded by digital technology and the Internet, are tomorrow’s stakeholders and will affect organizations and their environments greatly.

The study suggests engaging the digital native consumers is a vital asset for organizations to manage the…
La metacomprensione nei nativi digitali
2012
La tecnologia è progredita anche oltre la nostra capacità d’uso e il lavoro da compiere è quello esplorare i possibili orientamenti didattici per lo sviluppo e la promozione delle abilità di lettura nei ragazzi. L’attenzione alla lettura di testi letterari, informativi, normativi, istruttivi, su supporto cartaceo, dovrebbe essere equilibrata da quella per la lettura di testi digitali, di testi in cui il valore delle parole, accostate a immagini e suoni o rese esse stesse immagine e suono, si dispiegano in un inedito contesto multimediale. Una delle difficoltà che sovente gli insegnanti riscontrano negli allievi, di qualsiasi ordine e grado scolastico, attiene alla loro capacità di comprende…
