Abstract

U današnje su doba digitalni mediji i uređaji sveprisutni u životima djece. Izloženost ekranima (eng. screen time) odnosi se na bilo koje vrijeme provedeno ispred televizora ili drugog uređaja s ekranom. Digitalne medije definiramo kao sav sadržaj koji se prenosi putem interneta na digitalnim uređajima. Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je analizirati uporabu ekrana iz perspektive djece dobne skupine 4 do 6 godina. Polustrukturirani intervju proveden je pojedino sa svakim od sudionika istraživanja (N= 84). U sklopu intervjua primijenjen je „Upitnik o izloženosti ekranima i korištenju digitalnih medija iz perspektive djece“, a koji je izrađen za potrebe ovog istraživanja. Rezultati pokazuju kako su digitalni uređaji djeci dostupni u vrlo velikoj mjeri što odražava prosječan broj uređaja u kućanstvima (4), ali su ona isto tako vrlo dobro upoznata s terminologijom koju vežemo uz iste. Također, nema djeteta koje ne koristi barem neki od uređaja, a najčešće ih koriste za gledanje crtanih filmova (94%), igranje videoigara (88%), slušanje pjesama (84%) i gledanje online videozapisa (83%). Unatoč tome, rezultati pokazuju kako djeca ipak preferiraju druge oblike zabave pa tako 68% djece preferira igranje igračkama, 82% preferira igru u parku s drugom djecom, a 86% ih preferira odlazak na izlet. Ovaj rad pruža uvid u obrasce korištenja digitalnih medija te zastupljenost istih u životima male djece.

Abstract (english)

In today's age digital media and devices are very present in children's lives. The term screen time refers to any time spent in front of a television or other devices with a screen. We define digital media as any content that is transmitted over the Internet on digital devices. The aim of this study was to analyze screen use from the perspective of children aged 4 to 6 years. A semi-structured interview was conducted with each of the research participants (N= 84). As part of the interview, the "Questionnaire on screen exposure and use of digital media from the perspective of children" was used, which was created for the purposes of this research. The results show that digital devices are very widely available to children, which is reflected in the average number of devices in households (4), but the children are also very familiar with the terminology associated with digital devices. Moreover, there is no child who does not use at least one of the devices, and most often they use it to watch cartoons (94%), play video games (88%), listen to songs (84%), and watch online videos (83%). Despite this, the results show that children still prefer other forms of entertainment. And so, 68% of children prefer playing with toys, 82% prefer playing in the park with other children, and 86% prefer going on a trip. This study provides insight into the patterns of digital media use and their presence in the lives of young children.
