| Abstract | Posljednjih nekoliko godina uvelike se govori o napretku digitalne tehnologije koja se vrtoglavo širi, a svojim razvojem i utjecajem na čovječanstvo digitalna tehnologija zahvatila je i onu najmlađu i najosjetljiviju skupinu djece. Prečestom izloženošću i upotrebom ekrana digitalne tehnologije dolazi do razvoja ovisnosti o ekranima pa se sve češće govori o problemu zvanom ekranizam. Ekranizam, osim svojih pozitivnih strana, ima brojne negativne posljedice na djetetov razvoj, uključujući socio-emocionalni razvoj, govorno-jezični razvoj i psihološki razvoj, a ključno razdoblje u kojemu dijete može biti sklono razvoju poteškoća u navedenim područjima razvoja je između prve i treće godine života. Okruženi smo medijima, gotovo svako kućanstvo posjeduje nekoliko različitih uređaja digitalne tehnologije i sa sigurnošću se može reći da su mediji postali neizostavan dio svakodnevice. Danas je gotovo nezamislivo odrastati i razvijati se kao pojedinac bez medija i digitalne tehnologije. No, poznavanje medijske pismenosti, pravilna edukacija i svijest roditelja, odgojitelja i svih sudionika u odgojno-obrazovnom procesu, može znatno utjecati na primjerenu upotrebu uređaja digitalne tehnologije te se smanjiti štetni i negativni učinci, kako na cjelokupno društvo, tako i na svakog pojedinca. Uzevši u obzir sve navedeno, a u svrhu izrade ovog diplomskog rada, provedeno je istraživanje među roditeljima s ciljem uvida u to koliko njihova djeca provode vremena pred ekranima digitalnih uređaja te kako i na koji način ekrani utječu na njihov cjelokupni razvoj. Ekrani i digitalna tehnologija zaista mijenjaju naš život, no na nama je da odlučimo u kojem smjeru će nas voditi, pozitivnom ili negativnom. Postavlja se pitanje kakva budućnost očekuje najmlađe generacije djece na čije odrastanje i odgoj danas najviše utječu mediji i okolina. Jesu li mediji prijetnja našem načinu života i koje su njezine dobrobiti? Kako i na koji način odrasli (roditelji, odgojitelji, učitelji i dr.) mogu ublažiti štetnost, a kako širiti mogućnosti digitalnog svijeta da bude od koristi svakom djetetu? |
| Abstract (english) | In the last few years, there has been a lot of talk about the progress of digital technology, which is expanding rapidly, and with its development and influence on humanity, digital technology has taken hold also the youngest and most sensitive group of children. Too frequent exposure and use of screens, digital technology leads to the development of dependence on screens, so it is increasingly being talked about to the problem called screenism. Screenism, apart from its positive sides, has many negative consequences on the children's development, including socio - emotional development, speaking-linguistic development and psychological development, and a key period in which a child can be prone to the development of difficulties in the mentioned areas of development is between the first and third years of life. We are surrounded by media, almost every household owns several different devices of digital technologies and we can safely say that the media have become an indispensable part of our everyday life. Today, it is almost unimaginable to grow up and develop as an individual without the media and digital technologies. However, knowledge of media literacy, proper education and awareness of parents, educators and all participants in the educational process, can have a significant impact on the appropriate use of digital technology devices and to reduce harmful and negative effects, both on society as a whole and on each individual. Taking into account all of the above, and in for the purpose of creating this thesis, a survey was conducted among parents with the aim of insight into how much time their children spend in front of the screens of digital devices and how and in what way screens affect their overall development. Screens and digital technology indeed they change our life, but it is up to us to decide in which direction they will lead us, positive or negative. The question arises as to what kind of future awaits the youngest generation of whose children growing up and education today are mostly influenced by the media and the environment. Is the media a threat to our way of life and what are its benefits? How and in what way adults (parents, educators, teachers, etc.) can mitigate harm, and how to expand the possibilities of the digital world to be useful every child? |
