ICT as a socio-relational medium: a descriptive analysis in the school context with high school adolescents. Revista Investig. Desarro. Innov. [online]. 2020, vol.11, n.1, pp.99-112.  Epub 21-Jan-2021. ISSN 2027-8306.  https://doi.org/10.19053/20278306.v11.n1.2020.11686.

The purpose of this research was to identify the socio-relational links of the use of ICTs in the adolescent school environment. The research had a mixed approach, with a sample of 40 adolescents, aged 14-17, from grades 9-11 in a Colombian educational institution. The information was collected through the socio-relational mapping, which consisted of graphing the relationships and interactions of the target population, in the virtual and face-to-face environments. The results indicate that the number of relationships that adolescents have in the virtual environment are different from those in the face-to-face environment. This is because there is a greater communicative connectivity. It is concluded that social interactions mediated by ICTs take two forms: the usual connective interaction with the same subjects in the face-to-face environment, and the extended connectivity, which occurs with individuals different from the usual ones.
