Culturas digitais e experiências sociais das crianças: dilemas de classe, saberes, domínios e produções

Abstract

The research linked to the line Education, Culture and Society is a study about children's social experiences in digital culture. It aims to understand the relationship between children's social experiences in digital culture and issues of social and cultural class. The research starts from the following problem: how the issues of social and cultural class mediate the type of social experiences/protagonism of children in digital culture? The research is of the descriptive/exploratory type, with a qualitative nature. The methodological procedures are literature review and research of field. The research corpus was based on the answers given by two groups of five children, one from a public school and the other from a private school, from five themes discussed through the assumptions of the talking circle virtual methodology. The two schools are from the same neighborhood in a municipality in the countryside of Goiás and receive the same type of internet signal. Based on the children's speeches, we analyzed the mediations of social and cultural class present in the social experiences that children do or do not do in digital culture. The problem, the planning of the research, execution, categorization, analysis and inference were carried out from theoretical references of historical and cultural thought, child studies, the sociology of childhood, especially the studies of E.P. Thompson (1981, 1989, 1998), Hitchby and Moran-Ellis (1998); Vygtosky (1991, 2010), Santaella (2013), William Corsaro (2011; 2012; 2014; 2016), Bernard Charlot (2018). As a result, found that the children of the researched public school have less material conditions of access to digital culture in their homes, but above all, in their school. The mediations have been shown to be fundamental in determining the type of social experiences that children perform in digital culture. The mediation of families proved to depend on the questions economic and cultural, and it was found that the customs and traditions of these families also condition the child's form of participation and performance in the digital culture
