Two Stages

One of the key reflective aspects of modern society is the application of information communication technologies. According to SEB Bank and the information and communication technology company TEO [1] more people aged 65 and over are discovering the Internet and smart technology services to manage finances, communicate and spend their leisure time. Technological development has a large group of supporters even among seniors; however, many older adults have no skills and neither the intention nor the possibility to use digital devices which are critical for successful functioning in society. Escape from technological innovations in no way makes life easier. Modern smartphones can make life more enjoyable for seniors and to benefit society. The aim of this paper is to investigate seniors' opinions about the importance of increasing competence in smartphone usage in their daily lives. The investigation was conducted in two stages: 2018 April and 2018 September/October. During stage two, groups were former of 10–12 seniors. During and after the training, the participants were interviewed in focus groups about their opinions. The study revealed that older people's interest in new technologies activates their participation in the learning process, promotes interest in innovations and creates conditions for wellbeing in society.

Recent Phase

Change is omnipresent in modern society. Much of it relates to new technology and, in particular, to information, communication and management technology. To thrive, individuals and organisations must react appropriately to the challenges offered by such change. This opinion piece outlines the most recent phase of a continuing project exploring the use of information and communication technologies in the allied health professions. It focuses on the use of electronic patient records, or electronic care records as they have more recently become known. Such records form an important strand in the National Health Service's vast, ongoing National Programme for Information Technology (Granger 2003, NPfIT 2004). The piece concludes by outlining the steps that occupational therapists and occupational therapy services can take to ensure that they are well placed to participate in current and future electronic care records initiatives.

El presente artículo tiene como objetivo analizar el concepto de ciudadanía digital en el contexto de la sociedad de la información y el conocimiento; asimismo, conocer los alcances y límites de las nuevas tecnologías de la información y la comunicación (TIC) para el ejercicio real y pleno de la ciudadanía en el contexto peruano en particular y el rol de la educación en la construcción de una ciudadanía digital. Para ello, se revisaron diversas fuentes, tanto nacionales como internacionales, relacionadas con el tema de la ciudadanía digital. La primera constatación es que las nuevas tecnologías impactan profundamente en las formas como las personas, especialmente los jóvenes, se vinculan entre ellos y con las instituciones, así como, en sus vidas cotidianas, crean posibilidades de participación y empoderamiento ciudadano, y visibilizan grupos humanos y derechos que antes no existían. Sin embargo, se constatan también las limitaciones de la participación en la red, referidas a su impacto en las transformaciones que se pretenden lograr, así como la necesidad de cambios culturales y normativos de mayor acceso a las nuevas tecnologías y, especialmente, de una educación para el desarrollo de competencias digitales para el ejercicio óptimo y responsable de la ciudadanía digital. This article aims to analyze the concept of digital citizenship in the context of the information and Acknowledge society; additionally, to identify the scope and limits of new information communication technologies (ICT) for the real and full exercise of citizenship, particularly in the Peruvian context, and the role of education in the construction of digital citizenship. To this end, various sources, both national and international, related to the issue of digital citizenship were reviewed. The first finding is that new technologies have a profound impact on the ways in which people, especially young people, interact with each other, with institutions, as well as in their daily lives, creating possibilities for citizen participation and empowerment, and making visible groups and human rights which did not exist before. However, the limitations of participation in the network are also noted as they relate to the impacts of said participation on the expected transformations, as well as the need for cultural and regulatory changes, greater access to new technologies and, especially, education for the development of digital skills for the optimal and responsible exercise of digital citizenship.

Research Findings

AbstractModern society is fascinated by Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), physical laziness, isolation from nature, and a preference for staying indoors. Despite the general acceptance and understanding of the health benefits of recreation in the open air, a change is being seen in the recreational patterns of urban dwellers, as they spend less time outdoors. In order to counteract such behaviours, we can try to apply ICTs to enhance time spent outdoors. The performed study aimed to find uses of ICT solutions in designing public spaces in order to enhance and promote a healthy lifestyle. The selected examples show possible applications of ICT in promoting active recreation, e.g. mobile applications for sport activities, urban games in line with the idea of the Playable City, and urban furniture and outdoor hotspots enabling access to the Internet. The research findings proved that digitisation is not only a threat to a healthy lifestyle, but that it can also create opportunities to improve the quality of life.

The article describes the process of training future specialists under the program "Professional education", its features, conditions for implementation, aspects of further development, as well as some of the difficulties that arise during its organization. The focus of the department on how to create a new architecture of the educational process within the program "Professional education" is set by the leading principles: modularity, integrability, flexibility and dynamism, and methodological approaches - competence, activity-based, subject-oriented, environmental – were the basis for its development. As a result the authors presented a model for training a modern specialist with formed professional skills and personal and professional qualities, capable of being in demand in the labor market. The research results can be used in the educational process in the context of how to implement relevant programs in accordance with the new requirements in the educational services market. The rapid technologization of the socio-economic development of our society was reflected in the system of vocational education, designed to prepare highly qualified and competent specialists for the modern economy, science and industry. The transformation of the educational sphere is taking place under the influence of new technologies and human practices that change the social order. The determined infrastructural spheres have the greatest impact on this transformation, we are talking about "Communication Infrastructure": the sphere of information and communication technologies that affect all processes of accumulation and transmission of information; "Infrastructure of production and consumption": a financial and investment sphere, which sets the general rules for interaction in the economic and educational system. The above said made it possible to determine the further vector of educational activities of the Department of Pedagogy and Psychology of Vocational Education in training the specialists in "Professional Education" field both at the bachelor and master degrees.
