Contesto familiare/culturale nel divide generazionale introdotto dalle tecnologie digitali

The transformations taking place in the contexts of pervasive use of social media by the adolescent generation, especially the degree of full immersion that this has caused, prompt an exploration through an empirical research project of the domestication patterns involving families today on the front of the moral economy related to new media. The overall objective is to de- scribe the students’ opinions on their own digital skills and habits and to collect their perceptions on adults’ digital skills and habits. Sharing of view- points and meanings can serve to limit the creation of a generation gap due to different approaches to digital tools. We produced and administered a 90-item questionnaire with open-ended and closed-ended questions to 362 students at a high school in Reggio Emi- lia, Italy. The questionnaire was administered online in the period between March and April 2022.
