Full textAbstract:
Purpose – This paper aims to interrogate the place of literature in the digital world and the way a narrative is represented in digital spaces. In the changing landscape of digital, mobile and virtual texts, the authors aimed to examine how multimodal and animated elements in digital narratives engage young readers and encourage affective and aesthetic reader response? Design/methodology/approach – The study was an exploratory, interpretive qualitative research study undertaken in a classroom of 28 10-year-old boys in grade 5. The investigators analysed data recorded during a lesson where students responded to the textual conventions and literary features of a traditional story read in print and multimodal digital format. Two coding systems were used to identify students’ understanding of textual conventions along with the nature of their responses. Findings – The results suggested that when students are prompted to attend to the impact of multimodal layering in digital literature, affective, aesthetic and critical responses, they are encouraged in their interpretations. The responses emphasised the importance of teacher scaffolding and development of meta-language in teaching literature in both print and digital form. Research limitations/implications – Because of the small sample and limited data set, the research results lack generalisability. Therefore, researchers are encouraged to test the proposed implications further. Practical implications – The paper includes implications for teacher pedagogy, while teaching reading with multimodal narratives in digital form. Originality/value – This paper offers insight into the differences between print and multimodal literary texts; it codes students’ responses to multimodal texts and offers a method for analysis.

Full textAbstract:
Contemporary children’s literature has developed a growing interest in the interconnectedness between humans and the environment and in the ongoing exchange and negotiation of ways to be in the world. These new directions in children’s literature consequently challenge teachers of children’s literature in higher education. The study of contemporary children’s literature needs not only to be informed by new theoretical perspectives like ecocriticism, posthumanism and new materialism, but also to revisit, develop and explore the methodological tools and teaching practices necessary to prepare students to address these demanding issues. The aim of the article is to present and discuss the research question: How is it possible to secure scholarly dialogue and practical collaboration in an academic course on nonfiction children’s literature and environmental issues? Building on a cross-disciplinary theoretical framework consisting of theory of nonfiction, ecocriticism, dialogic teaching, environmental architecture and place-based teaching, the study reports on a pilot course which took place in the summer of 2020. Due to the pandemic situation the course became digital. Hence the digital challenges and possibilities turned out to be a critical aspect of the planned practical collaboration between students, teachers and students and teachers. The main goal of the course was to help motivate students to engage in and negotiate about nonfiction children’s literature and sustainability, to enhance their aesthetic experiences and to foster their environmental consciousness through children’s literature. The course was characterized by its alternating blending of lectures and hands-on experiences with theoretical and methodological tools as well as nature or culture specific places.

Full textAbstract:
Environmental studies, metabolic research, and state of the art research in neurobiology point towards the reduced amount of natural day and sunlight exposure of the developing child, as a consequence of increasingly long hours spent indoors online, as the single unifying source of a whole set of health risks identified worldwide, as is made clear in this review of currently available literature. Over exposure to digital environments, from abuse to addiction, now concerns even the youngest (ages 0 to 2) and triggers, as argued on the basis of clear examples herein, a chain of interdependent negative and potentially long-term metabolic changes. This leads to a deregulation of the serotonin and dopamine neurotransmitter pathways in the developing brain, currently associated with online activity abuse and/or internet addiction, and akin to that found in severe substance abuse syndromes. A general functional working model is proposed under the light of evidence brought to the forefront in this review.

RESUMO: Este trabalho busca refletirem que medida há desafios na implementação das Tecnologias da Informação e Comunicação (TIC) na organização pedagógica de professores de Literatura, mais especificamente de doutorandas em Letras – Área Estudos Literários. Além disso, procura-se pensar sobre a formação/capacitação docente, principalmente no que diz respeito ao ensino de Literatura Infantil. Ao atentar-se para tais ideias, foi proposto o auxílio de duas pós-graduandas, que estavam passando pela experiência de Docência orientada, na disciplina de Literatura Infantil, do Curso de Pedagogia da UFSM, na utilização de TIC para o ensino-aprendizado de Literatura. Nessa ocasião, foi avaliado se os recursos auxiliaram-nas a atingir o objetivo, a finalidade pretendida e se despertaram nos alunos o interesse pelo conteúdo, contribuindo para o aprendizado. A partir da análise dos relatórios, percebeu-se que aprender como aplicar as TIC em sala de aula e usá-las é importante.
PALAVRAS-CHAVE: TIC; literatura lnfantil; prática pedagógica; narratologia.
ABSTRACT: This paper reflects upon the challenges while implementing information and communication technologies (ICT) in the pedagogical organization of literature teachers, in particular those of language and literature PhD students. Furthermore, we seek to reflect upon teacher’s training, mainly concerning children’s literature teaching. By taking such aspects into consideration, it has been proposed the support of two post-graduate students going through an oriented teaching experience (Docência Orientada) in a Children’s Literature course, in the context of the Federal University of Santa Maria (UFSM) pedagogy undergraduate degree, while using ICT for literature teaching and learning. In this context, it has been checked whether the resources they used helped achieve their goals and whether they aroused student’s interest in the content, thus fostering learning. From the analysis of the reports, it became clear that learning how to apply and use ICT in the classroom is important.
KEYWORDS: ICT; children’s literature; pedagogical practice; narratology.

Full textAbstract:
The literature of children is characterized by the privacy of adhesion to the name of the recipient, and by portraying ideas, feelings, experiences and imaginations that agree with their recognitions and reflect their linguistic, intellectual and emotional level. Because literature is in this status of importance in our lives and the lives of our children, it was necessary to read in reality and visions, starting from some statistics and previews. We have found that it is relatively weak and few, and even suffers a crisis of existence, for many reasons, ranging from ideological to educational and academic. Factors include the tyranny of materialism and digital culture on Arabic human life, the breakdown of the linguistic power and the loss of identity, the outbreak of conflicts and wars, as well as the non-permanent presence of the favorable environment and the deviation of some educational approaches because of the lack of creative writers, and the association of this literature with non-free educational axes, the adoption of difficult models and curricula with topics that are consumed and sometimes denied, and the wrong approaches and methodologies that are limited to mere understanding, indoctrination and non-systematic explanation. The Arab countries must overcome individual initiatives and develop a comprehensive national and educational policy that reinforces the human sciences from the margin of life to its center, giving the Arabic language the necessary importance, activating the role of culture, securing the supportive environment, and developing malleable programs and methodologies that consider life issues, and the need for regularity of literature in a correct and good course by focusing on modern theories such as active, self-learning, differentiated and indirect, as well as modern monetary theories and communication, functional, interactive and logical trainings.

Full textAbstract:
In this article, we examine how children ages 8 to 10 characterized the audiences of digital videos they made in school. Children’s perceptions of their viewers reflected, and in many cases complicated, current theorizing about the vast potential audiences of digital texts. Our analysis of videos and interview data surfaces several findings pertaining to how children characterized their audiences. Children discussed their desire to inform viewers, their deliberate choices about language use vis-à-vis their viewers, ways they predicted and steered audience emotions, and the affective dimensions of sharing one’s video with different audiences. These findings suggest that educators and researchers ought to foreground issues of addressivity when theorizing the question of audience for children’s digital products. They also raise questions concerning authentic audience in an age of increasing concern about children’s safety and security in online worlds.

Studiens syfte är att ta reda på vilka erfarenheter utbildade förskollärare har av barns läsupplevelse vid högläsning av tryckt respektive digital barnlitteratur, samt vilka möjligheter och begränsningar förskollärarna anser att tryckt och digital barnlitteratur har. Metoden som används vid undersökningen är intervjuer som genomfördes med fem utbildade förskollärare. Resultatet visar att det finns olika former av läsupplevelse och som uppnås på olika sätt. Det framkom även att vilket syfte läsaren har med högläsningen påverkar också läsupplevelsens utfall. Vilken tid på dygnet samt hur förskollärarna planerar högläsningen varierar, men när det gäller vilka möjligheter och begränsningar de två läsverktygen har så var deras erfarenheter i stort sett lika. Avslutningsvis så visade det sig att syftet med högläsningen samt läsarens inlevelse och engagemang påverkar barnens läsupplevelse mer än valet av läsverktyg.The aim of the study is to find out which experiences preschool teachers have of children´s reading experience when reading aloud in print and digital children´s literature. Also, which opportunities and limitations preschool teachers believe that print and digital children´s literature has. The method I used in the survey was interviews with five preschool teachers. The result indicate that children can achieve different forms of reading experience in different ways. It was also revealed which purpose the reader has with the reading activity also affects the outcome of the reading experience. What time of the day and how preschool teachers plan the reading aloud activities varies, but when it comes to which opportunities and limitations the two reading tools have than the preschool teachers experience was quite the same. In conclusion, it turned out that the purpose of the reading aloud activities and the reader´s empathy and commitment affect the children´s reading experience more than the selection of reading tool.

This master thesis explores the librarian discourses in children’s literature published between the years of 2000-2020. The purpose of this essay is to explore however the technical development in the real-life libraries also can be found in the libraries described in children’s literature. I have also explored how these technical tools and work tasks are portrayed in the literature. The material consists of 18 children’s novels. The theory and method used are Laclau and Mouffe’s discourse theory combined with a model created by Hedemark and Hedman in 2002. My version of the model contains four fields: Names, traits and qualities, themes of which librarians are discussed and discourses. The major questions for this study are: - What discourses about librarians, their tasks and traits, can be found in children’s literature published between 2000-2020? - How do these librarian discourses differ from discourses found in previous research about librarian discourses in literature? - How is the technical development in libraries, compared to the real-life libraries, portrayed in children’s literature? How are the librarians’ technical tasks presented and what tools are used for these technical tasks? The findings of the essay are four different librarian discourses; The Buddy Librarian, The Structured Librarian, The Mythical Librarian and The Pedagogical Librarian. Some of the librarian discourses are similar to the ones in previous research, but most of them do not resonate with the earlier studies. In the novels, many of the librarians have technical tasks, such as checking out books on the computer, which resonates with the real-life libraries. The conclusion of the master thesis, is that many of the children’s novels do portray librarians who do technical task as a part of their daily work. This is a two years master's thesis in Library and information science.

El presente estudio se sitúa en el campo científico de la didáctica literaria centrando su atención principalmente en el análisis de la literatura infantil y juvenil, aquí digital, y su relación formativa con el lector en desarrollo a quien se dirige. El objetivo principal del trabajo ha sido el de identificar las particularidades constructivas del nuevo corpus literario-electrónico destinado a niños, niñas y jóvenes para poder atender a cómo su especificidad expresiva y el tipo de experiencias lectoras que emergen de ella dialogan con la idea de competencia lectoliteraria desarrollada por la didáctica contemporánea. De esta manera, mediante el estudio de la teoría multidisciplinar que trasciende a un corpus tan heterogéneo como el de la Literatura Infantil y Juvenil Digital, así como a través de la profunda lectura y análisis de las obras literarias que lo componen, se ha buscado ofrecer herramientas de comprensión detallada para cada una de las cuatro singularidades estéticas que lo individualizan como sistema cultural propio: su objetualidad virtual, la multimodalidad semiótica con que construyen sus mensajes, la naturaleza cibertextual de su base comunicativa que facilita la interrelación entre autor, mensaje y receptor y la disrupción estructural y organizativa que caracteriza a su discurso. Una vez realizado este trabajo, se ha procedido a contrastar el conocimiento construido resultante de esta primera parte bajo la luz de los estudios didácticos contemporáneos en torno a la lectura y al progreso competencial literario para, cualitativamente, sintetizar de manera interpretativa cómo se relaciona esa idea de progreso lector con las especificidades concretas del nuevo corpus. Los resultados pone de relieve, por un lado, el potencial que tiene la nueva literatura digital para la formación ficcional del alumnado por su naturaleza heterogénea y multidisciplinar que lo relaciona directamente con formas de cultura tan dispares como la literatura, la ilustración, la música y el videojuego, y por otro, llaman la atención sobre la importancia que tiene para esta nueva realidad literaria, debido a sus profundas variaciones constructivas y la complejidad que poseen algunas de ellas, el ejercicio de selección y mediación institucional y educativo que garantice un contacto adecuado y ajustado a las capacidades, gustos y necesidades de los niños y niñas.This study belongs to the field of literary education that focuses primarily on the analysis of children’s and YA literature, in this case digital, and its formative effects on the developing reader it is intended for. The main objective of this research has been to identify the constructive particularities of the new electronic literary corpus that is aimed at children and adolescents so as to be aware of the ways in which its expressive specificity and the kinds of reading experiences that emerge from it relate with ideas of reading and literary competence in contemporary education. Through a multidisciplinary theoretical study that transcends the extremely heterogeneous Digital Literature for Children and YA corpus, and a deep reading and analysis of the texts, this thesis has tried to offer tools for understanding each of the four aesthetic singularities that define this area as its own cultural system. These are: its virtual objectuality; the semiotic multimodality with which it constructs meaning; the cybertextual nature of its communicative base, which facilitates the relationship between author, message and receptor; and its structural and organizational disruption. The understanding gleaned from this first analysis was then examined in light of contemporary educational studies on reading and literary competency so as to qualitatively synthesize and interpret the idea of reading development in relation to the specificities of the new corpus. The results highlight both the potential of digital literature in fictional education, due to its heterogeneous and multidisciplinary nature and its direct relationship to forms of culture as disparate as literature, illustration, music and video games, and the importance of educational selection and mediation of this new literary form. Due to deep constructive variations and complexity manifest in many digital texts, institutional awareness and criteria is key to guaranteeing an appropriate first contact with this material, one that is adjusted to the abilities, tastes and needs of children.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation investigates meaning-making in children's joint-reading transactions with literary apps. The analysis of meaning-making focuses on embodiment as a central aspect of literary app's texts and their reading and on children's negotiation of agency in the act of joint-reading. Meaning-making is understood through a multimodal social semiotics perspective, which considers that meaning is realised in the dynamic transaction between reader, text and social context. Therefore, the dissertation integrates the analysis of the apps and of the children's responses to capture the dynamics of meaning-making in such transactions. Case studies were conducted with six families, who read the apps The Monster at the End of This Book (Stone & Smollin, 2011) and Little Red Riding Hood (Nosy Crow, 2013) in an English public library. The central method of data collection involved video-recorded observations of parent-child joint-reading events, complemented by graphic elicitation, informal interviews and a questionnaire. The video data was analysed through multimodal methods. The findings indicate that the participant readers used their bodies not only as a material point of contact and activation of the interactive features but also as a resource for meaning-making in their transactions with the apps. The reader's body was essential in their engagement with the material and interactive affordances of the apps, in reader's expressions of their responses, and in the sharing of the reading experience with the parents. The body of the reader, through spontaneous and interactive gestures, is a mode of communication in the multimodal ecologies of both the text and the reader's responses. Furthermore, the child readers constantly negotiated their agency within the constraints posed by the text, which include the narrative itself and its interactive features, and those posed by the joint-reading situation. The bodies of the readers played an essential role in this dual negotiation of agency. Children's agency was scripted, that is, the readers exerted their agency within the limitations of a script. The script, however, allowed readers to improvise, and their performances also involved resistance to the script through playful subversion. In the joint-reading event, children's agency was foregrounded, positioning the children as protagonist readers, who performed most of the interactions and lived the aesthetic experience of the text fully, to the expense of their parents, who mostly participated as supporting readers, transferring their agency to the children through scaffolding.

Full textAbstract:
Adopting a mixed methods approach consisting of interviews, focus group discussions and surveys, this thesis investigates the state of digital publishing in Ghana within the context of Rogers’ diffusion of innovation theory. With a focus on children’s ebooks, it examines publishers’, authors’ and readers’ levels of adoption of ebooks, and their motivations for, perceptions of, and challenges or barriers to, going digital or otherwise. It also assesses the state of digital infrastructure and human resource capacity in Ghana to support the growing ebook sector, and identifies the knowledge and skills deficit in the industry in order to inform the development of courses that will be incorporated into the BA Publishing Studies programme at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST). This thesis reveals that the level of adoption of ebook publishing among publishers and authors was relatively low given the interest demonstrated by young readers. The latter were very interested in ebooks and read mainly foreign content because it was freely available and accessible online. Publishers’ and authors’ motivations for publishing ebooks include visibility, the opportunity to reach a much wider audience, and the novelty of publishing digitally to keep abreast of current trends so as to transform the local industry. Some barriers to adoption identified were the cost associated with acquiring infrastructure, the security of online content, inadequate information about ebooks, non-use of ebooks, and infrastructural challenges such as inconsistent electricity supply and poor Internet penetration. The thesis also identified an awareness disconnect between publishers and their local readers: publishers perceive ebooks to be for the international market and, as such, do not focus on promoting them in the local market; thus, local readers are not aware of the existence of ebooks. Expanding on Rogers’ adoption categories, two new categories were created, incidental adopters and perceptual late adopters, to accommodate individuals who do not fall within Rogers’ established adopter categories. To increase the spread of digital publishing and the uptake of ebooks in the Ghanaian book market, the thesis recommends the elimination of the barriers to adoption and, most importantly, advocates training and skills development to reduce the knowledge and skills deficit gap among publishers and authors.

Full textAbstract:
A orfandade é um tema bastante recorrente na literatura infantil e juvenil. Desde as antigas narrativas orais, como os contos de fadas, por exemplo, o arquétipo do órfão é revisitado regularmente na construção de diferentes personagens, sendo mantida, porém, uma estrutura básica predominante, principalmente no que concerne à sua trajetória. Investigar a recorrência dessa temática, partindo da análise de alguns contos populares até alcançar as mais recentes obras voltadas para o público jovem, foi um dos objetivos desta pesquisa. Uma outra meta foi estabelecer paralelos e divergências entre as figuras secundárias que compõem essas narrativas, como as madrinhas, as madrastas, os irmãos, os amigos, os seres mágicos, entre outros, e focalizar o papel que elas desempenham na trajetória do órfão, agindo ora como \"desvios\", ora como \"atalhos\" em seu caminho. Um terceiro propósito da dissertação foi estudar a circulação da personagem órfã contemporânea entre a literatura e outras mídias, como as histórias em quadrinhos (HQ) e o cinema. Para isso, tomamos três personagens da ficção criadas originalmente para três diferentes suportes - Harry Potter (literatura), Peter Parker (HQ) e Luke Skywalker (cinema) - e procuramos estabelecer similaridades e divergências em três momentos de seus percursos: partida, iniciação e retorno. Ao compararmos as trajetórias desses três heróis órfãos, podemos perceber as visíveis intersecções entre elas e somos levados a crer que, mesmo modificadas pelos estilos literários e pelas mídias que lhes servem de suporte, essas personagens solitárias conservam, contudo, a essência das características de seu remoto substrato popular, proveniente da oralidade.Orphanhood is quite a common theme in Children\'s Literature. From the old oral stories, as the fairy tales, for instance, the orphan archetype is regularly used in order to build different characters, keeping, however, a predominant basic structure, chiefly with regard to his path. Investigating the frequency of such a theme starting from the analysis of some popular tales and finally reaching the most recent works, offered to young people, was one of the purposes of this research. Another aim was to establish parallels and divergences ocurring to secondary characters that take part in those narratives, as the godmothers, stepmothers, brothers and sisters, magic creatures, among others, and focusing the role they play in the development of the orphan course, acting sometimes as \"sidetracks\", sometimes as \"shortcuts\" in his way. A third goal of this work was to study the circulation of the contemporary orphan character both in literature and other mass media, as comics and movies. For this purpose we chose three fiction characters, created originally for three different supports - Harry Potter (literature), Peter Parker (comics) and Luke Skywlaker (movies) - and tried to show similarities and differences in three moments of their route: start, initiation and return. Comparing the footsteps of those three orphan heroes, we may note the visible intersections among them and take into account that, even changed by literary style and mass media which support them, those solitary characters keep, nevertheless, the essence of the characteristics of their ancient popular substractum, coming from orality.

Este trabajo trata de responder a la pregunta general de “¿Qué ofrecen las nuevas narraciones digitales recientemente aparecidas al lector literario en formación?”. Para ello, la investigación se configura en tres líneas de avance, que se reflejan en los tres objetivos y que se estructuran como tres bloques diferenciados: (1) la elaboración de una visión panorámica y de una caracterización general de las nuevas formas narrativas digitales con el fin de facilitar la comprensión de la producción de este sector; (2) la elaboración de un modelo de análisis que permita el estudio pormenorizado de los aspectos más relevantes de las producciones de narrativa digital para niños y jóvenes; y (3) la caracterización de las producciones de narrativa electrónica para niños y jóvenes pioneras en idioma castellano, y de su lector modelo, a partir del análisis de una muestra representativa de obras.
Se parte de la caracterización del marco sociocultural que enmarca las producciones de narrativa digital para niños y jóvenes, “la cibercultura”, y se discuten los aspectos contextuales que se consideran más relevantes para la investigación. Posteriormente se describen las dinámicas de la narrativa en el marco de la cibercultura en relación con los diferentes medios. Más adelante se aborda el desarrollo de la narrativa para niños y jóvenes en este mismo contexto, desde los años setenta y ochenta hasta la actualidad, tras lo cual se enfoca la atención sobre la narrativa electrónica: después de una breve introducción sobre los aspectos técnicos, se revisan las principales teorías que han reflexionado sobre la narrativa electrónica, con especial énfasis en el aspecto de la interactividad. Después se extiende este estudio al terreno de la narrativa electrónica para niños y jóvenes, un área específica de narrativa digital que está actualmente en el comienzo de su desarrollo teórico. Para terminar se presentan las principales teorías sobre el lector modelo infantil y juvenil, y las competencias de este en el marco actual, principalmente la competencia literaria que este trabajo quiere destacar.
Tras la presentación de una serie de conclusiones y de una tipología surgidas de la observación panorámica, se presentan las pautas de análisis que desembocan en la elaboración del modelo. Este instrumento se aplica sobre diez aplicaciones-libro que conforman la muestra representativa de la investigación y, a partir de esta operación, se procede a la caracterización del conjunto de producciones y del lector modelo de la narrativa infantil y juvenil digital. Finalmente se plantean unas sugerencias de vías de avance en el campo de la narrativa infantil y juvenil digital.This thesis tries to answer the following question: What do new digital narrative forms offer to the literary reader? In order to do this, the research follows three lines of development, which reflect three objectives and which are structured in three different parts: (1) the elaboration of a panoramic view and a general characterization of new literary forms, so as to facilitate understanding of the production; (2) the development of a model for analysis in order to study the most relevant aspects of digital narrative works for children and adolescents; and (3) the characterization of the works published in the Spanish market and their ideal reader through the analysis of a representative sample of ten works. The research starts by defining the sociocultural background that frames these products, the “cyberculture”, and explaining the most relevant contextual features for this study. Then, the thesis describes the dynamic of narrative in the cyberculture setting and in relation to different media. It follows the development of children’s narratives from the 1970s up to now. The work focuses next on electronic narratives: the technical aspects and the main theories of the field, with special emphasis on the interactive dimension. This study is afterwards extended to electronic narratives for children and adolescents, a particular area of digital narrative, which is now at the beginning of its theoretical growth. The principal theories about the ideal child and adolescent reader and literary competence close this part of the thesis. After the explanation of some conclusions and a typology that have arisen from the panoramic view, the guidelines for the analysis are presented, resulting in the creation of a model of analysis. This instrument is then applied to ten selected book apps, which results in the characterization of the Spanish production and its ideal reader. Finally, a set of suggestions for development of the field of digital narratives for children and adolescents is introduced.

Este trabalho propõe-se a estudar de que modo o projeto de e-books voltados a crianças em fase de alfabetização pode ser aprimorado, de modo a tirar melhor proveito dos recursos tecnológicos e, assim, melhorar a experiência de leitura infantil nesse contexto de ensino-aprendizagem. Para isso, expõe-se, inicialmente, um panorama geral sobre a popularização dos e-books e sobre a leitura em suporte digital. Realiza-se, então, uma pesquisa bibliográfica dividida em três partes principais: a primeira busca identificar características do público-alvo, suas capacidades e limitações no que diz respeito à leitura; a segunda trata do objeto e-book de maneira geral, envolvendo aspectos técnicos e de uso desse objeto digital; a terceira aborda o livro digital infantil, sob o enfoque do projeto gráfico-visual. Posteriormente, é realizada uma análise de similares, em que dez publicações digitais voltadas ao público infantil são observadas e analisadas. A partir dos dados obtidos até então, propõem-se algumas diretrizes preliminares de projeto, que são avaliadas por especialistas. A pesquisa define, por fim, diretrizes de projeto de e-books infantis, que permitam ao designer explorar de forma adequada os recursos tecnológicos, aprimorando a qualidade técnica dos livros digitais em contexto de alfabetização infantil.This work studies how the project of ebooks aimed at children learning to read can be improved in order to take better advantage of technological resources and thus improve children's reading experience in this educational context. In order to do that, it begins with an overview of the ebook revolution. Afterward, a literature research, divided in three areas, is presented: the first aims to understand the target audience, their abilities and limitations with regard to reading; the second approaches the ebook, involving technical aspects and regarding the use of this digital object; the third addresses children’s ebooks under the focus of graphic design. Subsequently, an analysis on children’s books available in the market is performed on ten digital publications focused at children, which are observed and analyzed. From the data obtained so far, this work proposes some preliminary guidelines, which are evaluated by experts. The research proposes, finally, design guidelines for children's ebooks, enabling the designer to explore adequately the technological resources, and improving the technical quality of digital books in an educational context.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter provides a more elaborate review and a critical examination of research findings about digital bullying, drawing from an interdisciplinary literature. In light of these findings, it critically analyzes media coverage of e-safety, online risks and harms, which digital bullying is an example of, as well as moral and technopanics –exaggerated concerns over youth use of technology and the consequences that emerge under such circumstances for various stakeholders. This chapter also builds the case for considering protection from digital bullying in the context of children’s rights. Wider social and cultural problems that remain less discussed in public discourse on digital bullying are given special attention to, building the case as to why it is important to address the culture of humiliation, focusing attention on dignity, rather than engaging in simplistic binaries of finger-pointing that are so often witnessed in the aftermaths of digital bullying cases.

The theme aboutreader formation in Brazil is recurrent in different debates throughout history, considering its importance for the construction of a literate society.This study aimed to draw the reader's profileaged 6 to 10 yearsof the literary text, making an interface with the influence of the Digital Age in the choice of textual genres (fairy tales, legends, fables, among others) and in the formats of reading adhered to by students.Therefore, we aimed to identify the different styles of reading, as well as the ideological aspects inherent to this phenomenon, based on the frequency and formats of reading, namely: on screen and on paper.As a methodology, we carried out a bibliographic survey and applied exploratory research to private school teachers, in a city in the interior of the State of Rio de Janeiro.The survey data point to the great challenge of waking up children's appetite for the universe of reading in the Digital Age. Of the interviewed teachers,most defend the importance of literary reading, however most prefer videos and movies to reading.According to the teachers' testimony, children who like to read develop more creativity and criticality. The research revealed that the option for the act ofreading in detriment to other possibilities of access to culture receives a lot of influence from the encouragement of the school and the family.The sampling highlighted the importance of the literary ambience. We hope that the studywill contribute to the thought of new strategies to encourage reading, by portraying the students' inclination towards audiovisual language

Full textAbstract:
Due to Covid-19 disease, which has an increasing negative impact on the world day by day and has been classified as a pandemic by the World Health Organization, continuing education remotely at various levels has brought with it very important discussions. Perhaps, one of the most crucial of these is the increased screen usage times. The intensive use of digital media in all areas of our social life has brought to mind the frequent handling of the time spent by children and young people in front of the screen in the pre-pandemic period by academia and nonacademies. However, with the pandemic, the education process is carried out entirely in distance; in addition to that, with the elimination of the need for socialization, entertainment and information due to screens, which became the sole medium for socialization, entertainment and information, has further increased the importance of studies that reveal the effect of screen usage time on children and young people. From this perspective, our study is based on Sonia Livingstone's approach to addressing screen use not only through "risks" but also through "opportunities". When it comes to screen use and "screen time", parents and teachers evaluate screen time within the framework of technological addiction; they did not focus on the nature of screen use and how to convert it into technological competence. The main purpose of this study is to reveal the approaches of parents and teachers regarding screen times of high school students. In this context, the literature within the framework of "screen time", "technological addiction" and "technological competence" has been scanned for the research part of the study, in-depth interviews were conducted with the parents and teachers of students of different types of high schools throughout Istanbul. Due to the pandemic conditions during our time, the interviews were conducted digitally through a questionnaire; different questionnaire have been prepared for teachers and families. The findings obtained as a result of in-depth interviews were evaluated with six main headings. Headings are as foolows: screen times of young people, risks that young people may face during media use, parents' perception of technological proficiency, teachers' perception of technological proficiency, parents' approaches to screen time of young people and teachers' approaches to screen time. It is hoped that the study will contribute to the literature on the axis of digital technologies and education.

Full textAbstract:
Scandinavian countries, in particular northern Scandinavia, have developed unique sociolinguistic frameworks which aim to preserve local indigenous languages. These models have acted to protect the cultural heritages of these ethnicities. As such, these models of preservation have offered a framework to be applied to other contexts, and hence in regions where language and cultural preservation and revitalization have become a salient factor. This current study presents an evaluation of the Norwegian State Action Plan for the preservation of indigenous languages in the region of tribal northern Scandinavia. The study produces the several recommendations as a comparative framework between northern Scandinavia and ASEAN countries. With respect to education, the study suggests establishing kindergartens for tribal children led by tribal communities, developing teacher training programs for indigenous instructors, developing educational materials and curricular guides in the local languages, establishing networks of distance learning, arranging language and cultural learning summer camps for tribal children and youth, and mapping mother tongue illiteracy among adults so as to assist in the action planning of these projects. With respect to the daily use of languages, the study suggests a development of interpreter training programs, the implementation procedures for translation of official documents, the development of minority language proficiency in the health services and judicial system, incorporating indigenous language in digital technologies and likewise promoting digital literacy, developing dictionaries for minority languages, and instigating the promotion of place names in local languages. The study employs a literature analysis, and a comparison of contexts, to determine the appropriation and effectiveness of the application of the Scandinavian preservation system to ASEAN. The study contributes to thought in Linguistic Anthropology, in that it suggests that, despite the uniqueness of sociolinguistic practices, preservation methods and government mandates may, at least in part, offer transferability.

Background: Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) plays an important role in preparing safe and productive lives of adolescents through understanding about HIV/ AIDS, sexually transmitted infections, unintended pregnancy, gender-based violence, and gender disparity. This scoping review aimed to investigate the appropriate method of sex education and information for adolescents. Subjects and Method: A scoping review method was conducted in eight stages including (1) Identification of study problems; (2) Determining priority problem and study question; (3) Determining framework; (4) Literature searching; (5) Article selection; (6) Critical appraisal; (7) Data extraction; and (8) Mapping. The research question was identified using population, exposure, and outcome(s) (PEOS) framework. The search included PubMed, ScienceDirect, Wiley Online Library, ProQuest, and EBSCO databases. The inclusion criteria were English-language and full-text articles published between 2009 and 2019. A total of 460 articles was obtained from the searched database. After the review process, twenty articles were eligible for this review. The data were reported by the PRISMA flow chart. Results: Eleven articles from developing countries (Nigeria, Thailand, Iran, California, Vietnam, Spain, South Africa, Indonesia) and nine articles from developed countries (USA, England, Australia) met the inclusion criteria with quantitative (cross-sectional, quasi-experiments, cohort, RCT) and qualitative design studies. The findings discussed available sources of sex education for adolescents including peers, school, media, and other adults. Digital media (internet and TV) contributed as preferable sources for adolescents. The parents and teacher’s involvement in providing sex education remained inadequate. Inappropriate sources of sex education like invalid information from the internet and other adults caused negative consequences on the sexual and reproductive health of children and adolescents. Conclusion: Parents-school partnership strategies play an important role in delivering appropriate information about sex education for children and adolescents.

Idris, Iffat. Increasing Birth Registration for Children of Marginalised Groups in Pakistan. Institute of Development Studies (IDS), July 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.19088/k4d.2021.102.
Full textAbstract:
This review looks at approaches to promote birth registration among marginalised groups, in order to inform programming in Pakistan. It draws on a mixture of academic and grey literature, in particular reports by international development organizations. While there is extensive literature on rates of birth registration and the barriers to this, and consensus on approaches to promote registration, the review found less evidence of measures specifically aimed at marginalised groups. Gender issues are addressed to some extent, particularly in understanding barriers to registration, but the literature was largely disability-blind. The literature notes that birth registration is considered as a fundamental human right, allowing access to services such as healthcare and education; it is the basis for obtaining other identity documents, e.g. driving licenses and passports; it protects children, e.g. from child marriage; and it enables production of vital statistics to support government planning and resource allocation. Registration rates are generally lower than average for vulnerable children, e.g. from minority groups, migrants, refugees, children with disabilities. Discriminatory policies against minorities, restrictions on movement, lack of resources, and lack of trust in government are among the ‘additional’ barriers affecting the most marginalised. Women, especially unmarried women, also face greater challenges in getting births registered. General approaches to promoting birth registration include legal and policy reform, awareness-raising activities, capacity building of registration offices, integration of birth registration with health services/education/social safety nets, and the use of digital technology to increase efficiency and accessibility.
