abstract |
ICT and Web 2.0 have the potential to impact on learning by supporting enquiry, new
literacies, collaboration and publication. Restrictions on the use of these tools
within schools, primarily due to concerns about discipline and child safety, make
it difficult to make full use of this potential in formal educational settings. Studies
of children at different stages of schooling have highlighted a wider range of ICT
use outside school, where it can be used to support informal learning. The study reported
here looks beyond the broad categories of primary and secondary education and investigates
the distinctive elements of pre-teens’ use of ICT to support informal learning. Nineteen
children aged 10 and 11 participated in focus groups and produced visual representations
of ICT and Web 2.0 resources they used to support their informal learning. Thematic
analysis of this data showed that pre-teens respond to a range of age-related constraints
on their use of ICT. Inside formal education, these constraints appear similar at
primary and secondary levels. Out of school, regulation is more age specific, contributing
to the development of tensions around use of ICT as children approach their teenage
years. These tensions and constraints shape the ways in which children aged 10 to
11 engage in formal and informal learning, particularly their methods of
communication and their pressing need to develop evaluation skills. |
