The Internet is widely recognized as an important information and communication medium. It has also become a useful tool for children’s education, but since the Internet is an open environment, it contains much information unsuitable for the under aged. This article introduces several content-filtering methods that can assist parents and educators in protecting children from harmful material. However, it must be noted that these are of limited value unless they are supported by sex education and parental monitoring of children’s Internet use.

RESUMEN Objetivo: Este trabajo analiza los usos y abusos del Internet en los jóvenes universitarios de la Licenciatura en Administración de Empresas de la Universidad Juárez Autónoma de Tabasco, con sede en Villahermosa Tabasco, mostrando evidencias de la manera en que el uso de Internet ha influido en su desempeño académico; ya que el modelo global entre sus mecanismos más sugestivos trajo consigo las denominadas Tecnologías de la Información y Comunicación, (TICs) las cuales tienen la particularidad de que una vez incorporadas a la vida cotidiana del sujeto resultan imprescindibles y en algunos casos crean dependencia entre sus usuarios. Material y método: El instrumento que se empleó fue entrevista no estructurada focalizada, con la particularidad de concentrarse en el tema Usos y Abusos del Internet en los alumnos de la División Académica de Ciencias Económico Administrativas, aplicado a una muestra de dieciocho alumnos que fungieron como informantes. Se empleó un enfoque cualitativo como método general de la investigación bajo el muestreo aleatorio simple que permite llevar a cabo el contraste o correlación de los planteamientos teóricos del problema. Resultados: Los resultados obtenidos dieron un panorama general del uso y abuso de Internet en los mencionados alumnos; quienes no reconocieron abusar del Internet en la redacción de sus trabajos de investigación. Conclusiones: Finalmente, se establecieron conclusiones y recomendaciones que pueden contribuir a minimizar los efectos negativos del uso de Internet y las aplicaciones que le dan a éste. ABSTRACT Objetive: This paper analyzes the internet use and abuse from young university Business Administration degree students of the Universidad Juarez Autónoma de Tabasco, that is located in the city of Villahermosa in the state of Tabasco, showing evidence on the way how the internet use has influenced the academic performance of those students, because one of the most suggestive mechanisms that the global model brought, are the so-called Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) which have the particularity that once they are incorporated into the daily life of the individuals, they become essential, and in some cases, create dependency among their users. Material and method: The instrument used was a focused unstructured interview, with the particularity to focus on the topic of Internet Use and Abuse from students of the Academic Division of Economics and Administrative Sciences. This interview was applied to a sample of eighteen students who acted as informants. A qualitative approach was used as a general method of research under simple random sampling that allowed the researcher to carry out the contrast or correlation of the problem theoretical approaches. Results: The given results provided an overview of the use and abuse of the Internet in the above mentioned students, who did not recognize Internet abuse in the drafting of their research. Conclusions: Finally, conclusions and recommendations were set up so that they can help minimize the negative effects that the use and abuse of internet is given by the students.

Media use plays an important role in the social, emotional, and cognitive development of young individuals and accounts for a large portion of their time. For this reason it is important to understand the variables that contribute to improve the use of the Internet as a source of information and knowledge in formal and informal contexts. How is it possible to exploit the huge potential of this tool to help people learn? What are the cognitive and social characteristics that help individuals experience the Internet without being overwhelmed by its negative effects? What skills are needed to select and manage information and communication? What type of Internet use creates new relationships and ways of learning? A sample of 191 subjects was examined to determine certain characteristic differences between subjects with high and low levels of Internet use. The results show that individuals with high levels of Internet use have higher extroversion and openness scores. The research analyses the use of the Internet in informal contexts to determine the benefits that may result from Internet use in education which may include the development of the skill set necessary to evaluate information critically and analytically and build independent attitudes. El uso de Internet ofrece un importante espacio para el desarrollo social, emocional y cognitivo de los jóvenes y ocupa gran parte de su tiempo libre. Por lo tanto, es muy importante observar algunas variables que contribuyen a mejorar su uso como fuente de información y conocimiento en contextos formales e informales. ¿Cómo, entonces, aprovechar el enorme potencial de esta herramienta para ayudar a las personas en su aprendizaje?, ¿cuáles son las características cognitivas y sociales que ayudan a utilizarla sin que les afecte negativamente?, ¿qué habilidades se necesitan para seleccionar y gestionar la información y la comunicación?, ¿qué tipos de usos de Internet suscitan aprendizaje y nuevas y diferentes relaciones? En una muestra de 191 sujetos se examinan las diferentes características entre los sujetos con alto y bajo nivel de uso. Los resultados muestran que los individuos con alto nivel de uso de Internet tienen una puntuación más alta en lo que se refiere a las características de extroversión y apertura. La investigación se basa en un marco teórico que parte del análisis del uso de en un contexto informal para llegar a una reflexión sobre las posibilidades y ventajas que pueden derivarse de su uso en la educación, y del conjunto de habilidades que es necesario desarrollar para utilizar y evaluar la información de manera crítica y analítica y para construir una mente abierta y una actitud independiente.

In Canada, as in many countries, teachers are being encouraged to integrate information and communication technologies (ICT) such as the Internet into the curriculum. A study conducted in Canada in 1999-2002 examined Internet use in schools through interviews with technology leaders, through surveys of teachers and principals, and through case study investigations of three school districts, each in a different province of Canada. The case study data from the three districts was analyzed, using the NVivo software program, to address three main questions: (1) To what extent was teachers' use of the Internet consistent with “best practice,” as described by Moersch (1999)? (2) What types of support systems appeared to be essential for effective Internet use in classrooms to occur? (3) What was the role of the teacher-librarian in contributing to effective Internet use in classrooms? The study showed that teachers were integrating the Internet into their teaching, but had not yet achieved “best practice,” and that teacher-librarians were influential in supporting teachers’ progress towards “best practice” in the use of the Internet in instruction.

Role Of Parents

The internet has transformed the way youth communicate, learn, and network, with implications for their broader social, psychological, and physical health and well-being. With the technological capability of accessing the internet from anywhere, at any time, paired with the enormous variety of internet activities in which youth engage—from social networking to chatting to streaming videos to playing games to watching television content—instances of problematic internet behavior have emerged. We conducted an online national survey of 629 US adolescents ages 12–17 years old and a matching survey of one of their parents. We investigated the relationship between problematic internet behavior and parental monitoring, parental mediation of internet use, and parental estimates of their adolescent’s time spent using computers. Analyses showed that problematic internet use was associated with less parental monitoring and parental mediation and poorer parental relationships. Adolescents that spent a lot of time on the computer were also more likely to engage in problematic internet use. Although we cannot determine the direction of the relationships, results support the important role of parents in adolescents’ problematic internet use.

With the advancement of information technology and mass media, providing various facilities in accessing information especially through the internet. STAIN Curup students are required to keep updating their knowledge and information especially with regard to their studies. This need is what makes the student must continue to add the supporting reference study. In addition to books, print journals and modules, the internet becomes one of the reference sources used by students. Therefore, it needs to be studied further about how the use of internet as a reference STAIN Curup students? how is the impact of internet use as a reference of STAIN Curup students? To answer the problems, this research uses the uses and gratifications theory and the moderate effect model, which is expected to give meaning and peel the phenomenon of internet usage on the students. In line with the uses and gratifications theory, satisfaction will arise if needs are met. In this case, the satisfaction of internet usage as reference of student is seen from the functioning of mass media, among others: information function, entertainment function, persuasion function, cultural transmission function and social inheritance, correlation function (linking). While the impact of internet use as a reference of students, among others, cognitive impact, affective impact, and behavioral impact. The impact of internet usage is also supported by individual factors; such as selective attention, selective perception, and selective retention, motivation and knowledge, beliefs, opinions, values, and needs, persuasion, personality and adjustment.

The main aim of this study is to evaluate the Internet Use Disorder Scale administered to the sample of Internet users in Serbia, as well as to confirm its factorial structure and correlate it with some parameters of Internet use. The total sample included 280 participants, divided into the clinical (70) and control group (210), age (M=26.73, SD=7.830). The control group was randomly formed out of the total number of the participants (327) who voluntarily responded to the test battery and fulfilled the entry criteria. The clinical group comprised the subjects who had sought professional help due to the symptoms of dysfunctional Internet use in some of the institutions or private psychiatric and psycho-therapeutic practices in Serbia, all of whom met the classification criteria of Internet use disorder. The internal consistency of the scale is ?=.944, and through factor analysis three factors were extracted, together explaining 67.23% of the total variance: Inability to control behaviour and the consequences, Internet preoccupation and responses to deprivation, Social consequences of Internet use disorder. A statistically significant difference between the total scores of the clinical and control group on the scale was reported (t(278)=20.434; p<.000), and all individual items showed significant discriminative values with 89.6% of the participants regularly classified into appropriate categories. In addition, a significant positive correlation between the PUI score and the amount of hours spent online was found (r=.524; p<.001), however the analysis did not show any correlation with the work experience and age variables, nor significant differences by the sex, education and place of residence criterion in the clinical group. These results are similar to the ones with the control group accept for a low correlation between the PUI score and age (r=-0.253; p=.001).

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.
