Abstract

U suvremenom digitalnom društvu u kojem se ističe važnost medijske pismenosti, fokus istraživanja usmjerava se prema utjecaju medijskih sadržaja, posebno društvenih mreža i videoigara, na razvoj djece. Na temelju analize relevantne literature, nemoguće je ne primijetiti rapidni porast sudjelovanja djece predškolske dobi u korištenju digitalnih resursa. Cilj ovog rada je razumjeti kako ove aktivnosti utječu na formiranje dječjeg vrijednosnog identiteta. Promišljajući o razlikama između aktivnog i pasivnog pristupa društvenim mrežama, kao i video igrama povezanih s nasiljem, u radu se ukazuje na negativan utjecaj koji se odražava na socijalne vještine i emocionalno stanje djece. Kroz identifikaciju pozitivnih (povezivanje, stjecanje znanja) i negativnih (rizici po mentalno zdravlje) aspekata, rad pridonosi dubljem razumijevanju kompleksnosti medijskog utjecaja na dječji život. Uz to se naglašava ključna uloga roditelja i odgojitelja kao i Crkve u razvoju medijske pismenosti i pružanje temeljnih smjernica za podršku djeci u optimalnom korištenju digitalnih medija.

Abstract (english)

In contemporary digital society where the importance of media literacy is emphasized, research focus is directed towards the impact of media content, especially social media and video games, on children's development. Based on the analysis of relevant literature, it is impossible not to notice the rapid increase in preschool children's participation in the use of digital resources. The aim of this paper is to understand how these activities influence the formation of children's value identity. Reflecting on the differences between active and passive approaches to social media, as well as video games associated with violence, the paper points out the negative impact reflected on children's social skills and emotional state. By identifying positive aspects (such as connectivity, knowledge acquisition) and negative aspects (risks to mental health), the paper contributes to a deeper understanding of the complexity of media influence on children's lives. Additionally, it emphasizes the crucial role of parents, educators, and the Church in developing media literacy and providing fundamental guidelines to support children in the optimal use of digital media.
