The data mark that nearly 18 percent of girls and boys Buenos Aires is less than an hour of television a day, but 65 percent remains between two and 12 hours on the internet.
The television consumption among adolescents is in decline: nearly 18 percent of girls and boys Buenos Aires this age group is less than one hour of television a day and 62 , 3 percent consume up to two hours daily, while 65 percent of those same teenagers remains between two and 12 hours a day connected to the Internet, according to a study released yesterday.
The data come from a report on adolescents in the city of Buenos Aires, jointly prepared by the Economic Council and the Center for Public Opinion Studies, Faculty of Social Sciences of the UBA, also revealed that access to the network is mainly produced from mobile phones.
So, 54.8 percent use their smartphone between two and 12 hours, with a peak of 11.44 percent use it 24 hours a day.
Just five years ago, only 9.6 percent of Argentine children between 13 and 17 watched less than one hour of television daily on weekdays, according to the Survey of Teen Media Consumption Unicef held in major cities across the country.
“The adolescent television consumption is declining, but that Variable must be balanced against the use of internet and social networks, “said Sergio Abrevaya Telam, president of the Economic and Social Council of the city of Buenos Aires.
To Abrevaya, the TV consumption decline of adolescents in favor of Internet-connected screens explained that “the boy mutated interest” which now favors those devices that allow you to “interact” with others, and it is through this interaction that informs, entertains and acquire knowledge before he could get through the television.
This is evident when we analyze which activities (listed in non-exclusive categories) are that adolescents perform on the web: almost 67 percent are on Facebook; 65.8 percent in Youtube; the 42.33 percent in Twitter; 22 percent look for information for school; 21.7 percent chat with their friends; 21 percent download music; 18 percent are in other social networks and 15 percent play online.
Changing paradigm. “While there is a use of the Internet to see series and other proposals are not new and that could also be on TV, the most important is the interaction that has to do with a change of paradigm in where knowledge is not something that is taught in one place, but is co-built and social networks are elements of co-construction of knowledge along with Google and Wikipedia, “he said.
At the same time, only 10.5 percent of adolescents entering the sports pages and 3.64 percent reported by online newspapers. “Today’s news will go through Facebook and Twitter: is not that kids are uninformed, they are reported by social networks,” contextualized
“This new era” in which. adolescents are reported and construct knowledge in their daily lives, presents challenges for the education system today is still “thought for the teacher imparts knowledge from the board,” said the head of the Council.
This misunderstanding is evidenced, for example, that “when a guy pulls out a cell phone in class, the teacher tells you to save because you can not talk on the phone, when the boy did not have to talk but to interact and because it is actually a minicomputer “.
” There is also a claim for the same guys for teachers to know better handle Internet, because teachers always ask them for the boys use Google or mail, but do not incorporate social networks, “he continued.
This predilection for the acquisition of knowledge through interaction is also evidence that 88 percent of students said they would prefer to continue attending class if it were possible to study from their homes and across the network.
The study also confirmed that their smartphones are gaining in popularity others connected to the web screens like PCs or notebooks.
The survey was conducted with 848 secondary students from public and private schools in Buenos Aires and sought to investigate the perception of school for students and some aspects of their daily life related to their personal development
