Abstract
Este estudo enquadra-se no âmbito do relatório de estágio do Mestrado em Ciências da
Educação na Universidade Portucalense Infante D. Henrique (UPT), tendo como principal
finalidade conhecer as perceções dos estudantes de uma escola do ensino básico sobre os
perigos existentes nas redes sociais.
O aparecimento das novas tecnologias veio modificar o estilo de vida dos jovens de
hoje, considerados os “nativos digitais” (Prensky, 2011), as primeiras gerações que cresceram
com as novas tecnologias. A internet deixa de ser uma ferramenta apenas de pesquisa para se
tornar numa fonte de interação entre pessoas de todo o mundo, nomeadamente, através das
redes sociais (Lira, 2016). Contudo, esta proximidade com as redes sociais levanta também
algumas questões, sobretudo no que se refere aos perigos inerentes ao tempo excessivo que os
adolescentes passam online, aumentando a «a probabilidade de os adolescentes ficarem
expostos aos riscos inerentes à utilização destes espaços» (Caneira, 2016, p.37).
No âmbito do estágio realizado numa Comissão e Protecção de Crianças e Jovens foi criado o
projeto de intervenção “Riscos e desafios das Redes Sociais: um projeto de intervenção
socioeducativa com adolescentes numa escola” com o objetivo de desenvolver uma ação de
sensibilização para jovens adolescentes sobre os perigos existentes nas redes sociais. Este
projeto desenvolveu-se ao longo de três sessões, junto de duas turmas de 7º ano de escolaridade,
em horários diferentes, numa escola básica do distrito de Aveiro.
Para a recolha de dados foi utilizado um inquérito por questionário. Os resultados
obtidos mostram que todos os adolescentes têm acesso a internet em casa e reconhecem que
existem perigos nas redes sociais, sendo que a maioria conhece o conceito de bullying, não
estando contudo familiarizados com os conceitos de sexting e phishing. Através da “caderneta
semanal” os jovens adolescentes concluíram que acedem várias vezes ao dia às redes sociais,
mesmo durante o período escolar.
Concluindo, os adolescentes concordam que este tema deveria ser abordado na
comunidade educativa, por exemplo com recurso a “Workshops para alunos, pais e demais
comunidade educativa”.
This study is part of the internship report of the Master's Degree in Education Sciences at the University Portucalense Infante D. Henrique (UPT), whose main purpose is to understand the perceptions of the students of a basic school about the dangers in social networks. The emergence of new technologies has changed the way of life of young people today, considered the "digital natives" (Prensky, 2011), the first generations who grew up with the new technologies. The Internet ceases to be a research tool only to become a source of interaction between people around the world, namely through social networks (Lira, 2016). However, this proximity to social networks also raises some questions, especially regarding the dangers inherent in the excessive amount of time that adolescents spend online, increasing the "likelihood of adolescents being exposed to the risks inherent in the use of these spaces" (Caneira, 2016, p.37). In the scope of the training of a Comission and Protection of Children and Youth, the project “Risks and Challenges of Social Networks: a project of socio-educational intervencion with adolescentes in a school” was created with the objective of developing na awareness campaign for young adolescentes about the dangers in social networks.This project was developed over three sessions, with two classes of 7th year of schooling, at diferente times, in a basic school in the district of Aveiro. A questionnaire survey was used to collect data. The results show that all adolescentes have access to the Internet at home and recognize that there are dangers in social networks, most of whom are familiar with the concept of bullying and are not familiar with the concepts of sexting and phishing. Throught the “weekly book” the young adolescents have concluded that they acess social networks several times a day, even during the school period. In conclusion, adolescents agree that this topic should be addressed in the educational community, for exemple throught “workshops for students, parents and other educational community”.
