Educación, infancia y Adolescencia ante las redes sociales y los influencers

Hoy en día, el acceso a internet y el uso de las redes sociales pueden considerarse como una de las principales expresiones de la revolución tecnológica. De hecho, las estadísticas proporcionadas por el Banco Mundial indicaron que, en 2019, aproximadamente el 57% de la población tenía acceso a Internet, mientras que la Unión Internacional de Telecomunicaciones informó que 7 de cada 10 jóvenes están conectados a la red en todo el mundo.

 

En los países desarrollados, se ha estimado que el 95% de los adolescentes están conectados constantemente a Internet, aunque este porcentaje disminuye en los países en desarrollo. Además, el auge de los influencers ha evidenciado el impacto que tienen las redes sociales en el comportamiento de niños y adolescentes.

 

En ese contexto, es relevante analizar cómo la era de las redes sociales y los influencers ha impactado en los fenómenos educativos. Por eso, la Revista Papeles ha decidido abrir un número especial sobre Educación, Infancia y Adolescencia en tiempos de redes sociales e influencers.

 

Papeles está aceptando trabajos de investigación teóricos y empíricos enfocados en analizar, evaluar y describir temas relacionados con el uso e impacto de las redes sociales y los influencers en la educación infantil y adolescente.
