Abstract

This research analyzes the usage habits of Social Networks by secondary school students (14 to 16 years old) in order to understand the educational actions to avoid the problems that derive from their inappropriate use. For data collection, a questionnaire was applied to 1144 students, which included questions regarding how much, when, where, with whom and for what they connect. The results indicated that young people connect primarily outside the school and manage the duration of their connection in their leisure time with autonomy. It demonstrates a direct relationship between the times spent on social media and the abandonment of other activities of study, entertainment and even friendships. Negative effects generated by disconnection are detected, such as emotional and psychological distress. Most of his contacts were made with a large number of people of the same age and similar environment. Furthermore, they manifest themselves as spectators and participants in offensive situations on the Net. They prefer not to share social networks with their teachers and have a different choice regarding the training that teachers can offer them. Among the conclusions, identifying user profiles and problems that may arise from their Social Networks in adolescence is of vital importance to design educational actions for prevention and education in the digital age.
