Empoderamiento mediático mediante e-learning. Diseño y validación de una escala

Abstract

Juan-Francisco Martínez-Cerdá, PhD candidate, investiga el desarrollo de habilidades orientadas a la empleabilidad de los trabajadores, a través de sistemas sociotécnicos (STS) relacionados con e-learning. Fue investigador en la Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) y jefe de estudios y proyectos en diversas empresas del ámbito público y privado. ResumenLas actuales facilidades para la educación por medios online permiten adquirir las competencias profesionales y personales demandadas para el siglo XXI. En este artículo se estudia el empoderamiento mediático de los alumnos como ciudadanos que usan múltiples medios de comunicación. Se establece la primera escala para la medida de dicho empoderamiento, analizando el ejercicio de la ciudadanía activa y el uso de diversos medios de comunicación, como habilidades adquiridas mediante e-learning. El estudio se realizó con antiguos estudiantes de la Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (n=544), construyéndose una escala consistente y fiable para las dos subescalas que la conforman: ciudadanía activa (5 items, α=0,93) y uso diversificado de los medios (3 items, α=0,95). Palabras claveE-learning; Educación online; Alfabetización mediática; Ciudadanía activa; Empoderamiento digital; Empoderamiento mediático; Inclusión social; Pensamiento crítico; Medios de comunicación; Sociedad civil; Escala; Encuesta. AbstractThe current ease of online education allows students to acquire the professional and personal competencies demanded for the XXI century. In this article we study the media empowerment of students, as citizens, using multiple means of communication. We have established the first scale for the measurement of such empowerment, analyzing the exercise of active citizenship and the use of various media, as skills acquired through e-learning. The study was carried out with alumni of the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (n=544), constructing a consistent and reliable scale for the two subscales that comprise it: active citizenship (5 items, α = 0.93) and diversified use of media (3 items, α = 0.95).

Emotions and reading: When reading is the best way to improve skills in adolescents

“…For example, it should be noted that there is no scientific literature on the improvement of reading comprehension in Spanish since “not even serious attempts have been made to make this identification through reviews of the previous research” ( Ripoll Salceda, 2014 ). Furthermore, there are other issues related to reading habits such as, for example, the impact of information and communication technologies (ICT) on people’s ways of reading involves “the need to attend to new visual skills and to new reading skills” ( Sánchez-Claros, 2016 ), or that motivating reading by awakening curiosity is more effective than using reading or motivation strategies ( Gurning, 2017 ), such as through ICT, which facilitate the general acquisition of professional and personal competences ( Martínez-Cerdá and Torrent-Sellens, 2017 ) and thereby stimulate higher involvement on the part of students than they had before the digital world ( Alonso-Mosquera et al, 2016 ). Therefore, if reading habits change, either in the devices for reading ( Cordón-García, 2018 ), the typology of digital texts, or the brain’s changing way of learning under technological impacts, reading competence must also be affected to a greater or lesser extent ( Amiama-Spaillat and Mayor-Ruiz, 2017 ).…”
