“…This might be due to potential harms being discussed at home or at school. The school's role is important, as the harmful aspects of the Internet may not be raised in all households (Helsper, 2017;Livingstone et al, 2015). It is also important to discuss with children what they should do if such potential risks should be realised.…”

The Internet has become an important literacy environment, even for children. Therefore, building the foundations for their critical engagement with online information should start when they first enter school. One way to start is to help children build an understanding about the complexities of the Internet environment. The present study aimed at increasing our knowledge about children's understanding of the Internet as a technical and social environment. It also explored how children perceive the trustworthiness of online information. The participants included 30 children aged 7-9 years. The children were interviewed and the data was analysed using content analysis. We share the results from the following perspectives: 1) children's understanding of the Internet as a complex environment; 2) children's perceptions of the benefits and risks of the Internet; and 3) children's perceptions of the trustworthiness of online information. The implications of developing instruction to educate critical readers are discussed.

“…Más aún, estudios recientes han demostrado que las diferencias en las habilidades digitales no alcanzan para explicar los resultados diferentes a que los mismos usos pueden conducir. Helsper (2017) y Van Deursen, Helsper, Eynon y van Dijk (2017), señalan que usuarios con el mismo bagaje sociocultural y económico y las mismas habilidades digitales obtienen provechos y consiguen recursos diferentes (aumentar sus ingresos, mejorar su rendimiento educativo, conseguir trabajo) a partir de los mismos usos de las tecnologías digitales. Por lo tanto, señalan las autoras, es preciso indagar en las percepciones de la tecnología propias de cada sujeto para poder comprender estas diferencias que derivan en un aumento de las desigualdades sociales.…”

El objetivo del trabajo es comprender los modos en que la apropiación de Internet varía a lo largo del curso de vida mediante la comparación de las trayectorias de personas jóvenes, adultas y adultas mayores en dos conglomerados urbanos de Sudamérica (Lima Metropolitana, Perú, y el Área Metropolitana de Buenos Aires (AMBA), Argentina). Para ello se analizan los datos recabados mediante una investigación de corte cualitativo basada en la realización de entrevistas en profundidad a sujetos de diferentes grupos de edad, nivel socioeconómico y género en ambos conglomerados. Como hallazgo principal se identifica que la edad por sí sola no define trayectorias de apropiación de Internet diferenciadas sino que ello depende también de los contextos de socialización, la acumulación de determinados capitales y la biografía personal. Así, al interior de un mismo grupo etario se vislumbran rasgos claramente generacionales pero, al mismo tiempo, se detectan matices intra-generacionales asociados a trayectorias de sociabilidad, educativas y laborales previas. En las conclusiones, se establecen vínculos entre desigualdades sociales y la apropiación de Internet en el marco de procesos de transformación social más amplios.

“…ICT use brings along numerous personal, economic, social and cultural outcomes, such as access to employment opportunities, rich and accurate information, and specific products and services, but not everyone benefits equally from it. Translating digital engagement into offline advantages strongly depends on individuals' concrete uses of ICT, digital skills and motivations, which in turn relate to contextual factors, such as social, economic and cultural status (ESCS) (Helsper, Van Deursen and Eynon, 2015;Helsper, 2017).…”

Trends Shaping Education Spotlights

Rapid technological advances can have an impact on personal, social and professional development. Implications for education include changes in the demand for knowledge and skills as well as expanding possibilities for teaching and learning. Growth of industrial robot demand The increasing sophistication of robots, artificial intelligence, big data and the Internet of things (OECD, 2016a) generate anxieties about the automation of existing jobs. Although it might seem to be part of the distant future, the truth is that the number of robots, at least to take care of some tasks in certain industries, is already on the rise. There has been a growing demand for industrial robots worldwide over the past decade (Figure 1). It is estimated that about 50 000 robots were supplied to the industry in 2007. Despite a slight fall in 2009, shipments have increased dramatically since then to almost 300 000 in 2016. Demand in the Asian region is the main driver of such trend. Robots are highly demanded in the automotive industry, followed by the electrical/electronics sector (IFR, 2017). Note: The total figure is calculated by the sum of the three regions.
