Spanish parents’ perception of family media literacy /Percepción de padres y madres españoles acerca de la alfabetización audiovisual familiar

Abstract

The family is the main network of relationships in which the values and norms for living in society are transmitted. In a society where the presence of the media is prominent, media literacy in the family is more important than ever. For this reason, this study aims to analyse Spanish families' perception of all aspects related to their knowledge about the media, their use of the media, their critical and expressive capacity and their perception of the weaknesses and risks of the media. To do so, we have analysed data from nine Spanish regions through focus groups (FG) with the participation of parents representing different kinds of families. The evidence collected highlights the need for media training for all family members so they can actively, critically and creatively take advantage of the potential afforded by the technologies and media in education for active, participatory citizenship.

Exploring factors related to primary school pupils’ ICT self-efficacy: A multilevel approach

“…Se constata que, a pesar de la existencia de escuela de padres sobre Internet en uno de los centros educativos, se plantean la necesidad de más espacios de formación e información eficaz para que padres puedan involucrarse en el uso adecuado de las TIC.

Este involucramiento es doble: acompañar a los hijos en las responsabilidades escolares con los recursos digitales y materiales didácticos online, y sentirse seguros y cómodos en la utilización de las TIC en casa.…”

“…En la actualidad está muy extendido el fenómeno conocido como fake news (noticias falsas) que, si bien no es nuevo, se ha magnificado con la potente difusión que ofrecen los dispositivos móviles e internet (Alemanno, 2018; Figueira & Olvieria, 2017). Lo que exige reforzar la competencia digital de la ciudadanía desde las primeras edades (González-Fernández, Salcines-Talledo, & Maraver-López, 2016), que le permitiría detectar más fácilmente este tipo de noticias. La alfabetización mediática siguiendo a Aguaded, Marín-Gutiérrez, y Díaz-Parejo (2015) consiste en la capacidad de acceder y analizar los medios desde sus diferentes formas de presentar la información.…”

“…While in no way new, it has been magnified as a result of the broadcasting power offered by mobile devices and the Internet (Alemanno, 2018; Figueira & Olvieria, 2017). This means that digital competence must be reinforced from early ages (González-Fernández, Salcines-Talledo, & Maraver-López, 2016), to enable users to detect this kind of news more easily. According to Aguaded, Marín-Gutiérrez, and Díaz-Parejo (2015), media literacy is the capacity to access and analyse media according to the different ways of presenting information.…”

Scrolling Through Parenthood: a systematic literature review on parenting information on social media (Preprint)

“…However, research indicates that there is also an overload of misinformation online 64 . Compounded by their non-"digital native" status, parents often grapple with limited digital knowledge, necessitating further research on their media and advertising literacy 122 . While current studies predominantly focus on children and adolescents in this regard e.g.…”
