Digital generations, but not as we know them
2019
The aim of this article is to see whether or not adolescents were the real leaders of the digital ‘revolution’ in the 1990s and whether they have sustained or even improved their position in the 2000s. The analysis is based on two surveys carried out in Italy, France, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Spain in 1996 ( N = 6609) and in 2009 ( N = 7255). The results show that the adolescents belonging to the first digital generation in 1996 were the most equipped with new technologies, although not the most intensive users. In 2009, the adolescents lost their position as the leading adopters and lagged behind youth and young adults regarding the use of new technologies and computer skills.
The Conference Reimagined. Postcards, Letters, and Camping Together in Undressed Places
2019
In this paper, five authors account for the rethinking of a conference as a series of postcards, letters, rules and silent moments so that traditional hierarchies of knowledge could be overturned or, at least, sidelined. We recount how the place we convened was enlisted as an actor and the dramas and devices we applied to encounter it. We use this accounting to problematize the conventional practices of goal-oriented meetings and co-authored papers as forms of academic meaning-making. In finding a meeting point where expertise was disorientated and status undressed, we were able to investigate the idea of co-being between human and nonhuman realities as the step social theory needs to take …
Contents and functions of dramatizations in team decision making
2017
This study examines the contents and functions of dramatizations in natural team decision making. Theoretically, the study employs symbolic convergence theory to understand decision making as a complex phenomenon constructed in symbolic communication. Observational meeting data and thematic interview data from an autonomous team in Finland were analyzed. A fantasy theme analysis and an inductive, rhetorical discourse analysis revealed three rhetorical visions and seven functions of dramatizations in the team’s decision making. Visions represented social, righteous, and pragmatic master analogues. The functions of dramatizations were legitimizing independent and current decisions, reinforci…

Comunicar : revista científica iberoamericana de comunicación y educación
2016
El ciberacoso es un fenómeno de creciente preocupación social que afecta cada vez más a niños y adolescentes de todos los paí- ses desarrollados. A diferencia de la considerable literatura que hay sobre las relaciones entre el acoso escolar y el contexto familiar y escolar, todavía hay pocos trabajos sobre la influencia de estos entornos sociales en el problema del ciberacoso. Mediante una metodología cuantitativa, el objetivo principal del presente estudio fue analizar la influencia del contexto escolar y familiar en víctimas de ciberacoso. La muestra estuvo formada por 1.062 adolescentes (51,5% chicos y 48,5% chicas), de edades comprendidas entre los 12 y los 18 años (M=14,5; DT=1,62). Se…
Educación XX1 : revista de la Facultad de Educación
2019
Los avances tecnológicos han provocado que el ámbito de la educación se vea influenciado por la aparición de nuevos modelos de enseñanza y aprendizaje mediados por la gran cantidad de recursos digitales y dispositivos electrónicos que cuenta hoy el profesorado. Uno de los enfoques metodológicos que está emergiendo como consecuencia de la innovación educativa es el flipped learning. Este modelo de enseñanza y aprendizaje se sustenta en la idea de que los discentes puedan visualizar y trabajar los contenidos de las próximas sesiones presenciales en el aula fuera del entorno académico, con la finalidad de dedicar el mayor tiempo posible en clase a la resolución de problemas y al despliegue de …
Creating the Consumer girl : A Study of Consumerism in Seventeen Magazine
2010
Kriittisen diskurssianalyysin perusajatuksen mukaan kieli ei vain heijasta todellisuutta vaan myös rakentaa sitä. Kielenkäytöllä voidaan siis katsoa olevan valtaa ihmisten uskomusten, arvojen ja tietämyksen määrittelyssä. Samanlaista valtaa on myös medialla, jota feministinen mediatutkimus tutkii stereotyyppisiä ja normalisoivia sukupuolikäsityksiä rakentavana sukupuoliteknologiana . Usein median vallankäyttö tapahtuu juuri kielenkäytön kautta. Kun tietyt puhetavat eli diskurssit toistuvat mediassa tarpeeksi usein, muokkaavat ne myös yleisiä mielipiteitä. Hyvä esimerkki sukupuoliteknologiana toimivasta mediasta ovat naistenlehdet, jotka rakentavat rajattua ja usein kulutuskeskeistä kuvaa n…
Digital competence in the curricula of Spanish public universities
2018
[EN] The massive incorporation of the technological resources in the classrooms of the infantile and primary centers has been a reality evident for some years, thanks to state plans like School 2.0 or autonomous ones like EducaMadrid or the Intelligent Educational Centers in the Valencian Community. And although much has been written in recent times about digital competence and the initial training of teachers in public universities, it is necessary to continue investigating and reflecting on their suitability and implementation in a society in continuous technological change. On this subject, in these lines it is tried to analyze the curriculum of the Teaching Degrees of several public uni…
Social media users in search of ‘facts’: the Trade Union House fire case
2021
What factors influence users to believe the stories they find in social media, and what role do emotions play for users in concluding that a particular fact is ‘true’? This article examines one aspect of emotionalized communication in social networks in an information war context, namely, how social network users make decisions about the reliability of the information they receive. We employ a qualitative study of a single case – a discussion among Russian-speaking Livejournal.com and Facebook.com users of a tragic incident in Ukraine – the deadly fire that took place in the Odessa Trade Union House on 2 May, 2014. The relevancy of this case consists in how, for all its uniqueness as a trag…
Dealing with viewers’ complaints: Role, visibility and transparency of PSB Ombudsmen in ten European countries
2017
The article shows the results of a comparative analysis of the complaints management mechanisms offered by ten European Public Service Broadcasting (PSB) systems on their corporate websites. Using a qualitative methodology, it maps the procedures and evaluates the visibility, transparency and dissemination of results. The findings show, firstly, great diversity in terms of responsible election and management, despite the converging media governance. Also noteworthy is the margin of substantial improvement in the transparency and dissemination possibilities, specially relating to the interaction offered by the digital environment. Among the ten public corporations analysed, the BBC is the be…
