Undersøkelsen jeg referer til er italiensk. Her er referansen: Ferri, P., Scenini, F., Costa, E., Mizzella, S., Cavalli, N., Pozzali, A., et al. (2008). Snack Culture? La dieta digitale degli studenti universitari. Milano: Università Milano Biccoca.
Dessverre
ser det ut til at denne rapporten ikke er tilgjengelig på nett.
Rapporten
er omtalt i et OECD-notat som heter “New Millennium Learners in
Higher Education: Evidence and Policy Implications”. Her heter det
blant annet:
Another
important exception to this overall emphasis on the homogeneity of
students is the Numediabios study (Ferri, et
al., 2008), which concludes that there is enough evidence to
support the existence of at least three different higher education
studentprofiles.
These profiles result from a crossed analysis combining two factors:
intensity of Internet use and content production, defined as
uploading content to sites like My Space, Wikipedia, YouTube and,
more in general, activity in social networks, as the following figure
reflects.This
is quite important because such a diversity of profiles may be asking
for quite different implications at policy and institutional level.
The three profiles are characterised as follows:
·
The digital mass,
which accounts for almost half of the students, are heavy Internet
users but not so keen of producing digital content.
·
The
neo-analogical, roughly a fifth of the students, produce some content
but connect to the Internet less than the average student; in a way,
they are not so dependent on Internet use as the digital mass.
· The inter-activated, roughly a third of the students, are the ones which better fit into the prevalent image of new millennium learners: heavy Internet users and quite frequent content producers.
