Parent’s influence on acquiring critical Internet skills

Abstract

The accessibility and easeofuse for children of information and communication technologies lead us to suggest that one of the key questions for their potential empowerment is linked to their analytical use by means of the acquisition of critical skills. The family environment is considered an important factor in digital literacy and the education of critical citizens. The present paper analyzes the mediation role of the parents in their children’s education. It shows a predictive model that includes parental education style and their trust in the interactive media for their children’s acquisition of critical cognitive abilities. It also identifies the personal and contextual factors that are related to the parental education style. The model was tested on a representative sample of 765 families from the Madrid Community selected on the educational level, center type, and district income bases. It was found that children’s educational level is the factor of greatest impact on the acquisition of critical abilities. Nevertheless, as parents adopt a less restrictive style regarding the uses of Internet, there is a more positive influence on the acquisition of critical abilities independently of the age effect. The results question the role of parental restrictions on the use of the interactive media to encourage the education of critical citizens.La accesibilidad y facilidad de uso de las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación en los menores lleva a plantear que una de las cuestiones clave para su potencial de empoderamiento está vinculada al uso crítico de las mismas a través de la adquisición de habilidades críticas. El entorno familiar se postula como un factor determinante en la alfabetización digital y en la formación de ciudadanos críticos. El presente trabajo analiza el papel mediador de los padres en la educación de sus hijos. Plantea un modelo compresivo que recoge la influencia del estilo parental y la confianza de los progenitores hacia el medio interactivo en la adquisición de habilidades críticas por parte de los menores y se identifican los factores personales y contextuales que influyen sobre el estilo parental. El modelo se pone a prueba con una muestra representativa de 765 familias procedentes de la Comunidad de Madrid seleccionadas en función del nivel de enseñanza, tipología de centro y nivel de renta del distrito. Se comprueba que el nivel educativo de los hijos es el factor más influyente en la adquisición de habilidades críticas. No obstante, cuanto menos restrictivo es el estilo de control parental de Internet, más positivamente influye en la adquisición de habilidades independientemente de la edad. Los resultados cuestionan el papel de las restricciones en el uso del medio interactivo para la formación de ciudadanos críticos.
