SOCIAL NETWORKING: Presentation of Global Results
Dear eTwinning partners,
We would like to share the results of our study on the topic chosen “Social Networking” and our first conclusions.
1.
Expectedly, almost all students, except for 3% (2 students) have an account on,
at least, one social network and 67% said they accessed their account daily,
with 26% accessing their accounts more than twice a day.
2. The
preferred social network is for 67,2% Facebook. We have observed that young
people are exploring new or alternative social networks like whatsapp.
3. The
majority of the project partners use their social network account mostly to
share photos (65,5%) and to share information (59,9%), after what comes the
online games playing (31%). Curiously, only a minority (5,2%) answered to use
it to do research for school work.
4. Although
the majority of the respondents (74%) have 100 or more friends on their
account, with 40% declaring to have than 200, 89% answered that they do not
accept any friend’s request.
5.
Regarding the protection of one’s privacy on social networks, pupils have shown
that they are not capable of referring to concrete measures to protect
themselves, like not publishing personal information, or not identifying people
on photos etc…
6. Another
aspect to take into account is the lack of information about incidents and
risks of social networking unsafely, revealed by the majory who answered
haven’t ever heard about any problem.
7. We are
aware that the conclusions presented are superficial and require deeper
analysis. So, We intend to discuss these results more deeply in September and
elaborate on these conclusions. We are interested in starting an eTwinning
project next school year to address this issue of e-safety.
