Summary
CIPRECES project we present here pretends describing and analyzing the habits of social communication of students in secondary school age. We want to study these habits in on-site communication and also in on-line communication. We intend to clarify correlations between types, frequencies and protagonists of these communicative relationships in both contexts (onsite and virtual), and knowing better the communication processes of students as key tool their educational development.In our opinion, proliferation of ICT cheaper and ubiquitous, allows people to interact with each other in very different ways. In this world, social interaction is no longer only in presence, is more and more common in the virtual environment.
There are many researches that have been study frequency of interaction in the virtual environment and the influence of these interactions in the on-site context. From these investigations we know how virtual relationships affect emotions and psychological phenomena as depression or self-esteem. Nevertheless, we know only few things about how young people establish relationships in different contexts, if they prefer using different tools for different purposes, or if they use different environments to establish different kind of relationships. We don’t understand how they interact on each of these contexts, and if these interactions have a greater or lesser impact on the others.
All these factors we do not know are key factors in taking decision processes, especially in education. We need to know lot of this information to take it into account when we propose models of teaching and learning. Therefore, these processes are the basis for a new training model which understands students as a citizens, and are important to try to training our students on manage their long life learning.
Consequently, our project would be structured into two main lines of work. In the first one, corresponding to the objectives expressed in item 1, we will focus on a description of habits of onsite and on-line communication of students, also exploring the use of various tools of communication. In the second one, which summarizes the objectives identified by 2, we want to go further and make a detailed study of maps and models of interaction developed by secondary school students in different contexts (on-line and on-site environments).
