Title: | Developing a measure to understand young children's Internet cognition and cyber-safety awareness: a pilot test | Contributor(s): | Edwards, Susan (author); Nolan, Andrea (author); Henderson, Michael (author); Skouteris, Helen (author); Mantilla, Ana (author); Lambert, Pamela (author); Bird, Jo (author) | Publication Date: | 2016 | DOI: | 10.1080/09575146.2016.1193723 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/19828 | Abstract: | Advancements in technology have increased preschool children's access to the Internet. Very little research has been conducted to identify pre-school-aged children's understandings of the Internet and ramifications of being 'online'. Without an understanding of children's thinking about the Internet, it is difficult to provide age- and pedagogically appropriate cyber-safety education. This study developed and pilot-tested an interview schedule that focuses on the Internet thinking and cyber-safety awareness of Australian children aged 4-5 years. The schedule is informed by sociocultural theory, cyber-safety education research and approaches for researching with young children. The schedule shows potential to elicit children's understandings of the Internet and cyber-safety awareness. Adjustments are required to allow more contextualised responses from children. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Early Years, 36(3), p. 322-335 | Publisher: | Routledge | Place of Publication: | United Kingdom | ISSN: | 1472-4421 0957-5146 |
