Abstract
En la era de la sociedad y el conocimiento, las herramientas
digitales nos acompañan desde una corta edad
con las consecuencias que puedan conllevar para el
desarrollo infantil y el impacto que pueda suponer en la
etapa de la adolescencia. El objetivo de esta investigación
es conocer la percepción de los riesgos relacionados con
el uso problemático de las TIC por parte de los menores
escolarizados, así como la influencia que pueden tener
los mismos con las distintas variables sociodemográficas
de los progenitores y la posesión o la frecuencia de uso
de los dispositivos móviles. Empleando una metodología
cuantitativa, se utilizó un cuestionario sobre una
muestra de 273 escolares de tres provincias diferentes de la Comunidad Autónoma de Andalucía (España).
Los resultados muestran una percepción de los riesgos
medio-baja, una relación significativa con la formación
de los cuidadores principales e interesantes asociaciones
como la relación entre la tenencia de teléfonos móviles
con el sexting o el tiempo de uso diario con los problemas
de adicción. En relación a los datos obtenidos, se concluye
con la importancia de formar tanto a los escolares como
a las madres y los padres o tutores sobre los peligros
que existen y cómo prevenirlos a través de la mediación
parental y la competencia mediática
In today’s knowledge-based society, digital tools are integrated into our lives from an early age, with the potential consequences that they may have on child development and the impact they can have during adolescence. The aim of this research is to examine the perception of risks related to the problematic use of ICTs by school-aged minors, as well as the influence that various sociodemographic variables of the parents and the ownership or frequency of mobile device use may have. A quantitative methodology was employed, with a questionnaire was administered to a sample of 273 students from three different provinces of the Autonomous Community of Andalusia (Spain). The results reveal a medium-low perception of risks, a significant relationship with the educational level of the primary caregivers, and interesting associations, such as the connection between owning mobile phones and sexting, or the amount of daily usage with addiction-related issues. Based on the findings, it is concluded that it is crucial to educate both schoolchildren and parents/ guardians about the existing dangers and how to prevent them through parental mediation and media literacy
