The study examines the parental perception of the use of video games by their preadolescent children, as well as parental beliefs, mediation practices and difficulties they encounter. In total, 186 parents have participated. The results, gathered in the quantitative and qualitative phase, reveal differences in parental perception according to the age and sex of their children; parents have more negative than positive beliefs about video games and use more strategies based on control than on support and communication. In parents’ opinion, the difficulties for mediation are related to the precocity to which they access the media and Internet, social pressure, uncontrollability and the digital divide. The paper concludes with implications for the educational intervention aimed to respond to parents’ concerns and needs for information and training.
This study analyses whether narrative skill and the perception of values/countervalues among students in primary school varies according to the structure (narrative vs non-narrative) of the episodes of fiction viewed, the grade-age (third and sixth, 8-12 years old), sex and attentional level. With this purpose in mind, quantitative and qualitative methodologies were implemented. The most noteworthy results include the higher narrative skill and perception of values/countervalues of students in sixth grade of primary school and those who viewed an episode with a narrative structure. The conclusion is that when addressing narrative skills and the education in values/countervalues from the formal and informal spheres, special importance should be attached to the structure of the fiction contents given that it can to some extent help students make the messages meaningful in terms of values and countervalues.
Esta investigación analiza si la estructura (no narrativa o narrativa) que caracteriza a dibujos animados incide en la habilidad narrativa e identificación de valores y contravalores frente a factores personales (edad, curso educativo, sexo y nivel atencional) o contextuales (red e índice socioeconómico y cultural del centro educativo) del alumnado de Educación Primaria. Se ha contado con la participación de 186 estudiantes que han relatado el episodio visionado. El estudio tiene un diseño cuasiexperimental con metodología mixta (cuantitativa y cualitativa). Los resultados obtenidos mediante análisis de regresión confirman que la estructura incide en mayor grado que el resto de factores. Se concluye que conviene considerar el tipo de estructura de los contenidos audiovisuales, y no solo la potencialidad en valores o contravalores, tanto en investigaciones futuras como al diseñar e implementar intervenciones en el ámbito formal e informal. This research analyses whether the structure (non-narrative or narrative) that characterizes cartoons affects the narrative skill and identification of values and countervalues, as opposed to personal (age, school year, gender and attention level) or contextual (school network and socioeconomic and cultural index of the school) factors of Primary Education students. 186 students participated in it, who have reported on the episode watched. The study has a quasi-experimental design with blended methodology (quantitative and qualitative). The results obtained through regression analysis confirm that the structure has a greater effect than the rest of the factors. We conclude that it is advisable to consider the structure of audio-visual content, not just the potential values or countervalues, both in future research and in designing and implementing interventions in formal and informal settings.
