MUNETON AYALA, Mercedes Amparo; SUAREZ, Arminda e RODRIGO LOPEZ, María José. Use of web resources as support to the education of Colombian parents' children. Investig. desarro. [online]. 2015, vol.23, n.1, pp.91-116. ISSN 0121-3261. https://doi.org/10.14482/indes.22.2.6615.
This research examines Internet use and efficiency by Colombian parents in finding web resources as support for children's education. A total of 225 parents participated and reported Internet use for educational aims by means of an on-line questionnaire. Results showed that the parental educational level, and to a lesser extent, the parental gender and children's age, modulate the use and the content accessed as well as the capacity to conduct efficient searches, to find appropriate webs and to evaluate the quality of the contents found. The existence of these digital divide put at risk the effectivity of the web resources as universal tools to support parents in their educational task in those family groups with major cultural vulnerabilities and gender inequalities.
