“…In their socialization process, young people make use of social networks, which are Internet-based structures that allow for people to connect with one another according to common interests and values to share contents in a variety of communication formats and establish interpersonal relations [19]. They provide teenagers with almost boundless possibilities to broaden their network of contacts and friends, and are shaping the dynamics of their relationships, with WhatsApp, YouTube, and Instagram being among their favourites [20,21].…”

The global public health crisis unleashed by the COVID-19 pandemic has made it clear that digital competence in education is no longer an option, but a necessity. Online communication with friends using social networks is an activity in which young people very frequently and at increasingly early ages engage. This article presents the results of a study analyses digital-competence levels in the area of communication of Spanish basic-education students (aged 12–16) and establishes whether online communication with friends and the use of social media impact it. A quantitative methodology with a descriptive and cross-sectional design was used. The sample comprised 807 students, and data collection was based on a problem-solving test. Findings show that students who use online communication with their friends very often and that those who use social networks a lot have lower levels of digital competence. Education centres should reflect on this in order to implement curricular programs that may strengthen this type of competence.

“…For all these reasons, it appears to us appropriate to address the discourse of adolescents from a gender perspective, in order to determine whether they take gender differences into account in their assessments of social media such as YouTube and Instagram and whether they make any link between those differences and forms of power and discrimination ( EIGE, 2023 ). The gender perspective is (or should be) understood, consequently, as a consubstantial element of the (trans)media education or literacy of digital generations, in line with the understanding of those terms and the importance attributed to them by various authors ( García-Ruiz and Pérez-Escoda, 2019 ; Balladares-Burgos and Jaramillo-Baquerizo, 2022 ) and international organizations and initiatives such as Unesco, the Agenda 2030 action plan and Unicef. Spaces for reflection, debate and content creation from a feminist perspective can be created for young girls and adolescent women and their male peers through such media empowerment ( Tornay-Marquez, 2019 ).…”

One of the major challenges for edu-communication research is to analyze the influence of social media on young and adolescent users. This article examines the evaluation of gender inequalities – real and symbolic – in the consumption of social networks such as YouTube and Instagram among young people. Within the framework of a Research & Development & innovation (R&D + i) project, it presents a discursive-theoretical analysis of how young users of social media perceive the presence and representation of gender on social media and whether such digital representations can be associated with an empowering gender perspective. This study presents results from 14 focus groups (N = 83), composed of students aged 12 to 18, drawn from three Spanish Autonomous Communities (Catalonia, the Balearic Islands and the Basque Country). The results show that gender issues arise in participants’ conversations, especially among female participants, who perceive the importance of physical appearance on platforms such as Instagram and TikTok. Female participants feel more pressure in terms of appearance and dress compared to male participants. Among male participants there are more expressions of self-affirmation and more mentions related to fun and social prestige. Both male and female participants express concern about the impact of that pressure on younger girls. The influence of social media on self-image is more evident among female participants, who make frequent mention of the importance of self-esteem in relation to beauty standards and exposure to idealized body images. Notably, there were no comments by male participants that acknowledge any influence of social media on their self-image. The findings are in line with existing research and taken as a whole gives rise to concern as to the gender disparities observed in the use of social media, which do not constitute a picture of female empowerment. This research underlines the importance of promoting a respectful and equitable environment in relation to gender equality within digital spaces. Thus, this study provides support for the need to develop and implement edu-communicative initiatives to foster critical thinking around the influence of social media in this context and the evaluation of the impact of such initiatives in future research.

“…Se asocia, generalmente, con otros nombres (Catalina et al, 2018;Córdoba, 2017). En el ciberespacio, hay una innumerable variedad de estrategias de ciberactivismo para participar ciudadanamente como las redes sociales, las apps y las herramientas digitales (Fernández-Prados y Lozano-Díaz, 2021;García-Ruiz y Pérez-Escoda, 2019;González, 2020;Sierra, 2020).…”

OBJETIVO: Analizar la forma en que los estudiantes del Doctorado en Innovación y Tecnología Educativa ejercen la ciudadanía digital y el ciberactivismo según los fenómenos sociales de su interés. MÉTODO: la investigación se efectuó con enfoque cualitativo, diseño fenomenológico y alcance exploratorio. La muestra de tipo no probabilístico incluyó a 26 estudiantes del Doctorando en Innovación y Tecnología Educativa de la primera cohorte (2021-2023), Facultad de Humanidades de la Universidad de San Carlos de Guatemala, que participaron de manera voluntaria. RESULTADOS: los participantes mostraron preferencia por diferentes fenómenos sociales relacionados con sus propias experiencias personales como ciudadanos digitales. Asimismo, estas vivencias revelaron una serie de actitudes y emociones al momento de utilizar varias estrategias de ciberactivismo. Para ellos fue primordial modelar la ciudadanía digital en su participación en línea. CONCLUSIÓN: la participación ciudadana en línea de los estudiantes en actividades de ciberactivismo se vincula a experiencias altruistas orientadas al bienestar de la población.
