Media and technology of young people in Slovenia

Katja Koren Ošljak will delve into the results of three recent studies that explore the interrelationships between media choices, technological preferences, media education, and the everyday life of young people. On the conceptual background of media repertoires as aggregates of media-related practices, she will present relations between family, school, and peer contexts that frame conditions within which elementary and high-school students are growing up and participating in media education. Then, the presentation will focus on the preliminary results of focus groups about young people’s digital needs and compare them against popular digital/media literacy formation approaches
