This article was based on a mixed methods research where the predominant emphasis was placed on the description of the results, with quantitative characteristics obtained through the applied questionnaire. The descriptive design made it possible to observe and reflect on the pedagogical mediations that occur in family contexts with regard to the reception and consumption of products and services offered by television, the internet, and online social networks. The participants were university students (16 and 24-year-old) who responded the questionnaire and kept an observational diary. A triangulation of the results of both the participants’ observations and the questionnaires was used. We found that there is a type of family mediation with regard to television contents. However, no indicator was found to clarify if the families are mediating the contents and information circulating on the internet. This opens up an opportunity to propose family communication strategies that allow for a more direct influence of the parents/caregivers or companions on these contents, taking into account the individual and family life cycles.

Keywords : social media; family and school settings; training scenarios; family mediation; educational mediation; social mediation.
