Media, Crianças e Jovens

Seminário de Mestrado (início: 8 de fevereiro 2011)
Professor responsável: Professora Doutora Cristina Ponte
Departamento: Ciências da Comunicação
Horas semanais: 4 / Língua de ensino: Português
Créditos ECTS: 10.0 / 16 sessões de 3 hrs

Objectivos: A influência dos media sobre crianças e jovens (0-18 anos) é um tema recorrente, frequentemente associada a relações de causalidade de difícil confirmação. Crianças e jovens têm uma presença crescente nas notícias enquanto lideram no uso de media digitais em países como Portugal, crescem as indústrias culturais direccionadas para consumos que lhes são destinados e as preocupações para com o seu presente e futuro. O presente Seminário irá ao encontro destas diversas perspectivas, trabalhando questões relacionadas com a representação de crianças e jovens nas notícias e noutros espaços dos media, bem como dimensões da sua própria experiência com os media, numa perspectiva histórica, do século XIX à contemporaneidade.

Crianças e Riscos Online / Conferência EU Kids Online 2

Numa altura em que muito se fala dos riscos de crianças e jovens na internet em tom alarmista, o conhecimento real destas situações baseia-se frequentemente em casos isolados. Pais, professores e comunidade dividem-se entre a utilidade escolar e social dos meios digitais para os jovens e os perigos que aqueles lhes podem trazer.

No dia 4 de Fevereiro de 2010, o projecto EU Kids Online apresenta e discute publicamente os resultados do primeiro inquérito representativo a 1000 crianças e jovens (com 9 a 16 anos) portugueses, e um dos seus pais, sobre riscos e segurança na internet, integrado num estudo europeu a 25 países.

Os primeiros resultados demonstraram que Portugal é um dos países com menor incidência de riscos online entre crianças e jovens entre os países europeus inquiridos, considerando riscos como contacto com imagens de cariz sexual, bullying, encontro com desconhecidos ou conteúdos nocivos.

Nesta conferência, que acontece dias antes do Dia da Internet Segura, a equipa portuguesa do EU Kids Online pretende apresentar em pormenor os resultados deste inquérito. Consulte aqui o programa provisório.

A conferência destina-se ainda a envolver na discussão todos os agentes interessados no tema da segurança de crianças e jovens na internet, entre pais, professores, técnicos de acção social, académicos, entre outros. A conferência é gratuita, mas solicitamos a sua inscrição para uma melhor organização.

LSE Research: Opportunities and Risks for Children Online

Interview with researchers



With 65% of Europeans now online (source: ITU, 19/10/10), what effect is this having on children? What type of material are children exposed to through the internet? How do online risks compare to offline risks?

Funded by the EC's Safer Internet Programme, Professor Sonia Livingstone, head of LSE's department of Media and Communications, led a survey of 23,420 children and their parents in 23 European countries to systematically investigate the opportunities and the risks children are exposed to online. Their results are published in the EU Kids Online report, Risks and Safety on the Internet, available at:

CFP: Jeunesse: Young People, Texts, Cultures

Housed in the Centre for Research in Young People’s Texts and Cultures (CRYTC) and produced under the sponsorship of the Associate Vice-President (Research) and the Dean of Arts at the University of Winnipeg, with funding from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC), Jeunesse: Young People, Texts, Cultures is an interdisciplinary, refereed academic journal whose mandate is to publish research on and to provide a forum for discussion about cultural productions for, by, and about young people. Our scope is international; while we have a special interest in Canada, we welcome submissions concerning all areas and cultures. The focus of the journal is on the cultural functions and representations of “the child.” This can include children’s and young adult literature and media; young people’s material culture, including toys; digital culture and young people; historical and contemporary constructions, functions, and roles of “the child” and adolescents; and literature, art, and films by children and young adults. We welcome articles in both English and French. Jeunesse was formerly Canadian Children’s Literature/Littérature canadienne pour la jeunesse.

CFP (special issue): The Journal of Media Literacy Education

JMLE invites submissions for a special theme issue exploring the relationship between media literacy and digital media and learning. New norms of online participation are emerging as part of child and adolescent socialization. However, some scholars with interests in digital media and learning position their work at a distance from the practice of media literacy education, privileging the study of user behavior, social connectivity and participation and dismissing practices associated with message interpretation, critical analysis and inquiry, and communication skill development. In this issue, we are interested in exploring both the areas of disjuncture and areas of overlap, aiming to conceptualize new ideas that may fuel the development of both fields. Your work may be framed around scholarship and practice in education, media studies, cultural studies, or other fields.

Internet: alunos plagiam cada vez mais para trabalhos escolares

As crianças e jovens recorrem cada vez mais à Internet para fazerem os trabalhos escolares. No entanto, o objetivo é sobretudo plagiar, não fazer pesquisas, alerta a investigadora Cristina Ponte, coordenadora do EU Kids Online Portugal. “As crianças vão à Internet fazer pesquisa para o trabalho escolar e muitas vezes essa pesquisa é um plágio”, disse a investigadora, a propósito do Dia Europeu da Internet Segura, que se assinala amanhã.
