Abstract(s)
Information and communication technologies (ICT)
continues to be a highly gendered area of life in all socioeconomic
and educational backgrounds, and a source of
significant social inequality in enduring ways. Parental mediation
strategies can regulate the benefits and risks of the ICT for
children, and have a significant and lifelong impact on children’s
self-confidence and positive attitudes toward digital technologies.
This paper aims to explore how does gender, of both parents and
children, affects parent mediation strategies of children’s media
use, adopting a critical discourse perspective in which gender
differences in ICT use are understood as a result of gendertechnology
and power-knowledge relations. We present a gender
perspective on the results of the research ‘Growing Up with
Screens’, conducted in Portugal which aims to explore the
mediation practices of parents including the first generation of
digital native parents with children aged 3 to 8 years old.
