Description du projet
L’impact des TIC sur la génération numérique
Les évolutions en matière de technologies de pointe ont de profondes répercussions sur la vie quotidienne des enfants et des jeunes. Aujourd’hui, les moins de 18 ans sont décrits comme la génération numérique. Toutefois, on estime que la révolution numérique n’est pas perçue de manière positive par tous les enfants et les jeunes. Le projet DigiGen, financé par l’UE, utilisera des méthodologies participatives pour comprendre pourquoi et comment certains enfants et jeunes profitent des TIC alors que d’autres en subissent les effets négatifs. Les méthodologies utilisées par le projet consistent à faire passer le centre d’attention d’une approche de «recherche sur» à une approche de «recherche avec» qui transforme les enfants et les jeunes en co-créateurs et en co-chercheurs.
Objectif
DigiGen aims to develop significant knowledge about how children and young people use and are affected by technological transformations in their everyday lives. The project is organised into eight distinct work packages. It will make use of participatory methodologies that moves the focus from “research on” children and young people to a focus of “research with” children and young people as co-researchers, co-creators and co-designers. The goal of DigiGen is to understand why and how some children and young people benefit from ICT use while others seem to be impacted negatively. It takes as its focus children and young people (from 0-18 years of age), a group growing up today that is described as the digital generation (DigiGen). Through sustained engagement with the digital generation, the project will include the use of innovative quantitative and qualitative methods and in-depth case studies. The cross-disciplinary team of researchers will enhance cooperation between home, schools and the wider community to ensure safe and productive ways of using ICTs. In understanding the impact of technological transformations as they affect the digital generation, we identify a set of systems that are important in young people’s lives. These systems include a focus on family (the home), leisure, education and the wider community (civic participation). The outcome of the project will contribute to the development of explanatory models that will inform relevant stakeholders and practitioners on the long-term effects of ICT on child development and on practices that maximise risks, minimise risks and maximise benefits.
