Descripción del proyecto
Comprensión de los efectos de las TIC en los niños
Los niños se sienten atraídos por la tecnología digital, pero aún no está claro cuán maduros son digitalmente. ¿Cómo y en qué grado se ve afectado el comportamiento de los niños por las TIC? El objetivo del proyecto financiado con fondos europeos DIGYMATEX es ofrecer instrumentos basados en pruebas que puedan ayudar a comprender y estimar los efectos de las TIC en la conducta de los niños. El primer instrumento consiste en un índice de madurez digital juvenil (DYMI, por sus siglas en inglés), una herramienta de acceso abierto en la nube. El DYMI contribuirá al desarrollo de una taxonomía inclusiva que proporcionará información a las partes interesadas sobre el efecto de las TIC a largo plazo en el comportamiento de los niños y los jóvenes. La segunda herramienta es una solución basada en el desarrollo del programa DiGYou. Las dos herramientas contribuirán a un uso más seguro y rentable de las TIC.
Objetivo
The overall goal of DIGYMATEX is to provide evidence-based tools that will assist in understanding and measuring children’s digital maturity. These tools are intended to be used e.g. by families, schools, and policy stakeholders. The first tool is the development of an innovative and market-ready instrument - the Digital Youth Maturity Index (DYMI) – as a cloud-based open-access tool in order to establish and implement a comprehensive understanding and taxonomy of children’s digital maturity leading to the prediction and explanation of benefits and risks regarding children’s ICT-related behaviour. The Digital Youth Maturity Index will act as a measurement tool for classification and segmentation of user groups as well as a behavioural prediction tool based on machine-learning techniques. The second tool is the development and application of the DiGYou-program - a technology-related solution and recommendation program, which is based on as well as supports the application of the DYMI. The two innovative tools will directly target the main impact goals associated with the call. With the Digital Youth Maturity Index (DMYI), the project will be able to develop and implement a comprehensive taxonomy, which will inform relevant stakeholders and practitioners on the long-term effects of ICT on child behaviour. Furthermore, with the DMYI in combination with the DigYou3-program, we will develop concrete solutions in order to contribute to a safer and more beneficial use of digital technologies by children and we will be able to formulate recommendations in support of national and European policies in the field. DYGIMATEX - builds on an inter-disciplinary, multi-method approach by integrating expertise, methods and knowledge from different research areas like business management, psychology, sociology, neuroscience, media and information systems, as well as industry partners (i.e. from IOT, food, telecommunication) and policy stakeholders (i.e. education, EU policy).
