Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we attempted to clarify how children aged 4 to 10 years use digital technology in their daily lives through observations based on videos taken in their homes. 30 videos were collected from 30 homes, and detailed behavioral observations were conducted. As a result, the studyshowed the forms of engagement in digital technology by young children, which had not necessarily been clarified in previous studies.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
従来,デジタルテクノロジーと子どもの関係は,前者が後者に何らかの影響を与えるかどうかという観点から検討されてきた。例えば,スマホの使用時間が勉強時間や睡眠に与える影響などが注目されてきた。しかし,現代社会は多様なテクノロジーに支えられて機能しているため,子どももまたデジタルとリアルのハイブリッドな存在として理解できる。本研究はそうした存在としての子どもを具体的に記述した先駆的な取組みだと言える。
