Mal wieder ist das Thema die \u00c2\u00abNet Generation\u00c2\u00bb, diesmal aber mit empirischen Daten untermauert, ein Aspekt, der bei den anderen Artikel \u00c3\u00bcber diese Generation meist fehlt, wie Rolf Schulmeister hier anmerkt.
\nSpannend fand ich vor allem, dass hier nicht nur Kinder befragt wurden, sondern auch ihre Eltern. Und dies ist die Zusammenfassung der Autoren:<\/p>\n
We asked parents to rank seven ways of learning in order of importance for their child. Only half of all parents selected \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcclassroom lessons\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 as their first choice, challenging the commonly held assumption that parents always look to school as the centre of their child\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s education. Surprisingly, 4 per cent of parents chose either \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcsurfing the internet\u00e2\u20ac\u2122or \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcplaying computer games\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 as the first or second most important way their child learns. As ever, parents emphasised social experiences with 20 per cent prioritising either \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcsharing a meal\u00e2\u20ac\u2122or \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcplaying with friends\u00e2\u20ac\u2122as their first choice.
\nTwo-thirds of parents were certain that their child was \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcbuilding their general knowledge\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 through their use of technology. Fathers tended to be slightly more positive about the impact of technology with 47 per cent of men believing their child was developing their creativity compared with 40 per cent of women.
\nYounger parents tended to identify the emergence of less formal skills such as \u00e2\u20ac\u02dccollaboration\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 while older parents were more inclined to pinpoint traditional competencies such as \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcgeneral computer skills\u00e2\u20ac\u2122.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
