The purpose of this study, which is based on qualitative data, is to reveal the opinions of art teachers on the teacher standards set by the International Society for Technology in Education.It has been observed that the majority of participants of a study group are not aware of these standards, use social networks but do not use mobile applications, use the Internet for information-research purposes, and follow a news from the Internet. The participants think that students should be directed to conscious Internet use and must be educated accordingly.The study group is of the opinion that technology and the teachers’ field knowledge should be included in education training to facilitate the learning of students and to stimulate their creativity. Group members also believe that classical education and original activity design should be utilized in the design and development of learning experiences and evaluation activities, and the use of technology and applications that focus on students in order to be an example on studying and learning in this information age is needed. According to the participants, art teachers should inform students about conscious use of the Internet, and teach them to integrate life-long learning with real-life situations by participating in professional development-leadership activities. One of the participants thinks that excessive use of technology during classes will make students become used to excessive comfort. Another participant is of the opinion that the use of technology in the learning environment will not be useful.As a result of the study, the following suggestions are offered.Art teachers can be informed about teacher standards.Art teachers can be given training about involving technology in teaching-learning processes, about learning experiences and the design of the evaluation activities, and life-long learning and professional development.Studies that emphasize the importance of the use of technological resources in education can be conducted.Art teachers can be informed about conscious Internet use.

When the Internet was first commercialized and commonly utilized, men numerically dominated Internet use (Actman, 1995 and Johns, 1997). Over time, the population of Internet users has normalized and increasingly women are using the Internet at the same rate as men. This raises societal questions. Is social media conditioned to be more ‘female-dominated' due to the focus on social aspects, traditionally seen as more feminine? This introductory chapter explores the technology use of women. Taking a perspective of providing a background, first, the literature related to women and technology and the dominant theoretical underpinnings is discussed. Then the authors investigate conditioning of women in careers, lifestyles and general technology use. This discussion of the academic literature is then reinforced through an analysis of industry based data, to understand how women are utilizing technology. The chapter concludes with an agenda for further research into the use of technology by women.

The family is a fundamental institution regulating the use of the Internet by children and adolescents. In the family context, the use of the Internet is modeled and adapted to the family dynamics related to the degree of digital literacy of the parents and their attitudes and tactics regarding parental mediation in the use of ICTs. Recent studies have shown that the strategies through which parents seek to regulate Internet use at home can be grouped into the category of enabling mediation, which includes all forms of active mediation of Internet use and online safety, suggesting positive use of technology, and restrictive mediation that conditions online time or limits activities, including the use of parental control software or other filters. In this context, it is important to determine the perceptions of parents regarding ICTs and potential online risks and the opportunities associated with their children’s contact with the Internet and social networks. The current work is based on the results of a survey conducted with 850 parents of Spanish children aged 9 to 17 years who were asked, among other questions, about their online habits, their perception of their own digital skills, and their critical literacy (when faced with, for example, fake news), conflicts generated by the use of the Internet in their families, or the way in which they regulate their children’s access to technology. The fundamental objective of this chapter is to achieve a solid, up-to-date, and comparable portrait of the risks, threats, opportunities, and challenges faced by Spanish families regarding Internet use. Resumen La familia es una institución fundamental en la regulación del uso de internet de los niños, niñas y adolescentes. En el contexto familiar el uso de internet se modela y adapta a las dinámicas familiares relacionadas con el grado de alfabetización digital de padres y madres y con sus actitudes y tácticas respecto a la mediación parental en el uso de TICs. Hay estudios recientes que demuestran que las estrategias a través de las cuales los padres buscan regular el uso de internet en sus casas se pueden agrupar en la categoría de mediación de tipo habilitante –incluyendo todas las formas de mediación activa sobre uso de internet y seguridad online, sugiriendo un uso positivo de la tecnología– y la mediación restrictiva –que condiciona el tiempo online o limita sus actividades, e incluye el uso de software de control parental u otros filtros–. En este contexto es importante conocer las percepciones de los padres respecto a las TIC y los potenciales riesgos y oportunidades online asociados al contacto de sus hijos con internet y las redes sociales. Nuestro trabajo parte de los resultados de una encuesta realizada a 850 padres o madres de niños y niñas españoles de 9 a 17 a quienes se les preguntó, entre otras cuestiones, sobre sus hábitos online, su percepción sobre sus propias habilidades digitales y su alfabetización crítica –ante, por ejemplo, las fake news–, los conflictos que genera el uso de internet en sus familias o el modo en el que regulan el acceso a la tecnología de sus hijos. El objetivo fundamental de este texto es el de conseguir un retrato sólido, actualizado y comparable de los riesgos, amenazas, oportunidades y retos a los que se enfrentan las familias españolas cuando hacen uso de internet.

The aim of this study is to determine the purposes and characteristics of adolescents' internet use. Furthermore, the study compared adolescents' internet use purposes in terms of gender, school type and grade level variables. The study group consisted of 1002 students who were studying in 10 public high schools in 2012-2013 academic year in İstanbul. The data were collected through the Internet Use Purposes Scale (IPUS) and were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test and ANOVA. Research revealed that duration of internet use of adolescents' increased over years. Also, more than half of the adolescents access internet at home, in the evening and at night. Girls use mobile phone two times more than boys in order to access internet. One out of every ten adolescents were found to be at risk of internet addiction. Results indicate that adolescents use internet mostly for the communication and learning purposes whereas they use the internet for the purposes of education, psychological needs and entertainment at lower levels. Significant differences were observed in terms of gender and school types. However, grade level did not have a significant effect on the purposes of adolescents' internet use.

Aim: To examine older adults’ Internet use patterns and its relationship with social engagement. Methods: Telephonic interview data of older Internet users from two urban and two rural areas were analyzed (N = 248). Cluster analysis was used to identify their Internet use patterns. Multinomial logistic regression identified characteristics associated with the Internet usage groups, and the multiple regression was used to examine if the Internet usage pattern was associated with social engagement in real life. Results: The majority of older adults in Taiwan using the Internet were considered Leisure users (32%). Others were Sporadic (26%), Instrumental (21%), and Eager users (21%). Leisure and Eager users, but not Instrumental users, had significantly higher scores on social engagement compared with Sporadic users after controlling for sociodemographic and behavioral covariates. Eager Internet users were associated with 22.8% increase in the social engagement level, and Leisure users were associated with 31.2% increase in the social engagement level. Conclusions: Older adults with different Internet behaviors were associated with distinct sociodemographic and social engagement behaviors. Causal relationship is warranted for further investigation.

Background: Previous studies have shown that suicide-related Internet use can have both negative and positive psychological effects. Aims: This study examined the effect of suicide-related Internet use on users’ suicidal ideation, depression/anxiety tendency, and loneliness. Method: A two-wave panel study of 850 Internet users was conducted via the Internet. Results: Suicide-related Internet use (e.g., browsing websites about suicide methods) had negative effects on suicidal ideation and depression/anxiety tendency. No forms of suicide-related Internet use, even those that would generally be considered positive, were found to decrease users’ suicidal ideation. In addition, our results suggest that the greater the suicidal ideation and feelings of depression and loneliness of Internet users, the more they used the Internet. Conclusion: Since suicide-related Internet use can adversely influence the mental health of young adults, it is necessary to take measures to reduce their exposure to such information.

Abstrak: Bagi generasi pasca milenial penggunaan internet sangat akrab tetapi dengan berbagai tujuan penggunaan. Penelitian ini ingin melihat keterkaitan penggunaan internet oleh penduduk yang sedang sekolah untuk kepentingan penyelesaian tugas sekolah di Indonesia untuk mendapatkan hasil belajar yang baik. Analisis berdasarkan data sekunder dari Survei Sosial Ekonomi Nasional tahun 2018. Hanya saja data yang didapatkan tidak simetris dengan adanya pencilan. Regresi kuantil digunakan untuk meminimumkan pengaruh dari pencilan yang ada. Penelitian mendapatkan hasil bahwa terdapat kaitan yang erat antara akses internet dari penduduk yang sedang sekolah dengan penyelesaian tugas sekolah.  Hasil regresi kuantil menunjukkan bahwa proporsi akses internet untuk penyelesaian tugas sekolah berbeda antar golongan proporsi penggunaan internet. Proporsi penggunaan internet yang tinggi akan digunakan untuk penyelesaian tugas sekolah yang lebih tinggi pula. Abstract: For the post millennial generation the use of the internet is very familiar but with various purposes of use. This study wants to look at the relationship between the use of the internet by residents who are currently in school for the sake of completing school work in Indonesia to get good learning outcomes. Analysis based on secondary data from the 2018 National Socio-Economic Survey. It's just that the data obtained is not symmetrical with outliers. Quantile regression is used to minimize the effect of outliers. The study found that there was a close relationship between internet access from residents who were in school and completion of school work. The quantile regression results show that the proportion of internet access for completing school work differs between groups of proportions of internet use. A high proportion of internet use will be used for completing higher school work.

BACKGROUND The Internet has become one of the most important sources of health information, accessed daily by an ever-growing number of both patients and physicians, seeking medical advice and clinical guidance. A deeper insight into the current use of the Web as source of information on epilepsy would help in clarifying the individual attitude towards this medium by Internet users. OBJECTIVE We investigated views towards the Internet in a sample of Italian healthcare specialists involved in epilepsy field, to explore factors which explained the influence of information found on the internet. METHODS This study was a self-administered survey conducted in a group of members of the Italian Chapter of the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) in January 2018. RESULTS 184 questionnaires were analyzed. 97.8% of responders reported to seek online information on epilepsy. The Internet was most frequently searched to obtain new information (69.9%) or to confirm a diagnostic or therapeutic decision (37.3%). The influence of consulting the Internet on clinical practice was associated with registration to social network(s) (OR: 2.94; 95%CI: 1.28-6.76; p=0.011), higher frequency of Internet use (OR: 3.66; 95%CI: 1.56-9.21; p=0.006) and higher confidence in reliability of online information (OR: 2.61; 95%CI: 1.09-6.26; p=0.031). No association was found with age, sex, years in epilepsy practice or easiness to find online information. CONCLUSIONS Internet is frequently used among healthcare professionals involved in the epilepsy to obtain information about this disease. The attitude of being influenced by the Internet for diagnostic and/or therapeutic decisions in epilepsy is independent on age and years of experience in epilepsy, and probably reflects an individual approach towards the Web.
