- Digital inclusion programs: the case of the Basque CountryPublication . Palmeiro, Ricardo; Pereda Herrero, María Visitación; Aires, LuísaThe progressive development of the Digital Age has given rise to a growing number of concepts related to individuals’ experiences with their digital literacy, from the level of competence or lack thereof conceptualized in the digital divide, to the very concept of digital citizenship, essential today for participation in democratic societies. This article analyses the different interpretations made of these concepts with a view to clarifying their appropriate use according to the situations to be studied, understood as an intellectualized evolution of the realities and experiences lived by individuals and society. Since the beginning of the millennium, several national and regional digital inclusion projects began, encouraged by the European policies that aimed to alleviate the already existing digital gap. In this sense, the KZgunea program, the Basque government’s digital inclusion project is analyzed as a paradigmatic case of the evolution of government programs and policies in favour of an adequate level of digital literacy that allows individuals to fully participate in all fields of today’s increasingly digitized society. This report is part of a PhD thesis that analyzes digital literacy as an instrument of empowerment and social inclusion, to improve employability, and as a key to the construction of digital citizenship in the 21st century.
- Enhancing the human experience of learning with technology: new challenges for research into digital, open, distance & networked educationPublication . Palmeiro, Ricardo; Pereda Herrero, María Visitación; Aires, LuísaSince the emergence of the new information and communication technologies, a new social gap has appeared, between those who know how to use the new technologies and those who don't: the digital divide. As a way to overcome this gap, international organizations have made a series of recommendations for governments to create digital inclusion programs to empower the population in need of technological knowledge. Since the end of the last century, governments (local, regional, national) have begun to create these programmes, with greater or lesser success, whose initial objective of technological training has evolved to the development of skills that allow the individual to fully develop his/her digital citizenship. This PhD dissertation started with this research question: What is the effect of digital inclusion programmes on the level of digital literacy of individuals and on greater participation community? It seeks to analyse the influence of Digital Literacy as a mechanism to reduce social exclusion and enhance individual and community development, as well as to create a theoretical model for analysing the influence of Digital Literacy on the individual and the community. The main theoretical pillars on which the study is based are in the field of Digital Literacy and Informational, the digital divide, digital citizenship and digital inclusion in different areas of education systems (formal, non-formal, informal). The empirical study consists in the analysis of two cases, the Internet Access Spaces in Alentejo (Portugal) and the KZgunea in the Basque Country (Spain), in three dimensions: Public Policies and Digital Inclusion Programmes (Access) through Documentation Analysis; Monitors and facilitators of the centres (Usage), with the carrying out of personal interviews; Users of the centres with questionnaires carried out in person and online. We are currently finishing the analysis of the interviews and the writing of the theoretical chapters. We are also evaluating the close of application of the questionnaires due to COVID19. We have the intellect to deposit the dissertation in 2021.
- Literacia e inclusão digital: boas práticas em Portugal e em EspanhaPublication . Palmeiro, Ricardo; Aires, Luísa; Pereda Herrero, María VisitaciónO e-Book Literacia e Inclusão Digital: Boas Práticas em Portugal e em Espanha resulta de um amplo leque de pesquisas sobre Literacia e Inclusão Digital, em Portugal e em Espanha, identificadas pela Rede ObLID. A problemática é introduzida pelo professor García Carrasco no seu texto sobre a escola e a função dos docentes na era da Internet. As publicações estão divididas em torno a três grandes temáticas da inclusão digital. O primeiro tema está dedicado às publicações que realizam uma revisão teórica e estado da arte da inclusão digital. No segundo tema são apresentados diferentes modelos e metodologias de trabalho referentes a pesquisas já desenvolvidas. No terceiro tema são exploradas boas práticas relativas a programas de inclusão digital, tanto em Portugal como em Espanha.
- Das competências de uso das tecnologias digitais ao exercício pleno da cidadania digital: os casos do Alentejo e do País BascoPublication . Aires, Luísa; Palmeiro, Ricardo; Pereda Herrero, María VisitaciónA participação informada nos processos de decisão coletiva exige melhores níveis educacionais, um leque mais amplo de competências digitais e, naturalmente, o acesso às tecnologias. Na sociedade global digital, este processo faz parte do exercício de uma cidadania informada. A cidadania digital pressupõe a participação mediada pelo acesso e, sobretudo, pelo uso crítico das tecnologias digitais, nos processos de decisão social. Em estreita ligação com a cidadania digital encontra-se a literacia digital. Entendida numa perspetiva mais ampla do que a literacia tecnológica, supõe o desenvolvimento de competências fundamentais que contrariam a exclusão social e, por consequência, representam um valioso mecanismo para o seu combate, especialmente em grupos sociais em risco. Por sua vez, as competências digitais fazem parte das competências essenciais da educação ao longo da vida, estando diretamente relacionadas com os conceitos de cidadania digital e participação democrática. No presente artigo, começamos por analisar os conceitos de cidadania digital, literacia digital e competências digitais para o séc. XXI, bem como as relações entre estes conceitos. Posteriormente, são apresentados dados parciais relativos a uma investigação, emcurso, sobre programas digitais como via de empoderamento, no Alentejo e no País Basco. Como conclusão genérica, assinalam-se as perspetivas dos monitores sobre as modificações de hábitos dos utilizadores dos Espaços de Acesso à Internet e dos Centros KZgunea
