Abstract(s)
O presente trabalho pretende compreender qual o impacto que as redes sociais têm nos
jovens adolescentes, com idades compreendidas entre os 13 e 18 anos, e de que forma estas
são uma ferramenta de aprendizagem individual e coletiva. Partindo de uma revisão teórica
sobre as redes sociais, os jovens e o Instagram, percebem que, atualmente, a maioria das
pessoas tem um telefone ou computador, e desta forma, têm acesso constante/permanente às
redes sociais. Este acesso constante cria uma forte dependência e o presente trabalho
pretende compreender qual o impacto, quer positivo quer negativo, que as redes sociais têm
nos jovens adolescentes e de que forma são uma ferramenta de aprendizagem para os
mesmos, tanto a nível individual como coletivo.
Esta investigação tem como base uma metodologia mista, qu antitativa e qualitativa. A nível
quantitativo foi efetuado um inquérito, a 393 jovens entre os 13 e os 18 anos onde se analisou
as suas relações com as redes sociais, relativamente à frequência de utilização e aos
respetivos efeitos no seu bem-estar bem como nas suas relações familiares e escolares. De
modo qualitativo, foram feitas entrevistas a especialistas na área.
Os resultados revelaram que o impacto da utilização das redes sociais pode ser tanto positivo
como negativo, dependendo sempre da sua utilização. A investigação apresenta ainda que é
necessário haver um maior diálogo entre os adultos e os jovens para que não exista uma
lacuna tão grande na linguagem mediática. Partindo deste pressuposto, irá ser possível uma
maior compreensão da parte dos pais e professores, sobre a presença dos jovens nas redes
sociais, e que desta forma irá possibilitar um melhor acompanhamento. Acima de tudo, é
também necessário, uma maior inclusão das redes sociais de forma positiva, onde os adultos
educam e mostram como é uma ferramenta imprescindível de aprendizagem.
The present academic work intends to understand what is the impact of social media on youth aged between 13 and 18, and in what way they are an individual and collective learning tool for youth. Starting with a theoretical revision on social media and on youth and Instagram, we learned that, the reality nowadays is that almost everyone has a phone or a computer, and in this way, they have access to social media on a daily basis. This constant availability creates a strong attachment and the present study wants to understand what is the impact, both positive and negative, that social media has on youth from - 13 to 18 year olds - meaning adolescents; and in which way it is a learning tool for them, both individually and collectively. This investigation has as a base a mixed methodology, both quantitative and qualitative. A quantitative data collection was done, where 393 youths, between 13 and 18 years of age, answered an inquiry that looked to analyze their relationships with social media: in their use frequency, its effects on their wellbeing, and its effects on their family and school relationships. In the qualitative method, interviews were performed, with specialists in the area. The results reveal that social media can be equally positive and negative, it all depends on its usage. And that, in fact, it is necessary to have a greater dialogue between adults and youth so that there isn’t such a big gap in the media language. With this a bigger understanding from parents and teachers about the youth’s presence in social media, will be possible, this will enable a better assistance and mentoring. Above all, it is extremely necessary, a bigger inclusion of social media in a positive manner, where adults educate and show how it is a crucial learning tool.
