摘要
本文探讨了使用和讨论媒体与技术的数字青年工作计划的包容性。研究重点是针对社会弱势青年的活动。社会弱势青年和被数字技术排斥的青年由于资源有限而面临教育不平等,如硬件不足或缺乏家庭学术支持(Correa et al.)作为非正规学习的青年工作在这方面发挥着至关重要的作用,它具有正规教育所不具备的某些优势--例如,可以自由设定针对具体需求的学习目标,从而更好地响应社会信号。通过两方面的比较案例研究分析,我们深入探讨了组织具有数字包容性的数字青年工作的成功方法。案例研究(N = 14)位于比利时佛兰德斯,通过对实践的快速扫描和对实践代表的深入访谈进行了深入分析。我们的研究结果确定了建立数字全纳实践的四个成功因素:(a) 为青少年提供积极参与活动的途径,(b) 向青少年工作者介绍数字全纳因素,(c) 为青少年工作者提供向其他从事数字全纳工作的人员寻求帮助的途径,(c) 让目标群体参与活动的创建过程。基于这四个成功因素,本研究强调了从青年的需求和才能出发,以信号为基础的方法的 重要性。
Digital Futures: A Signal-Based Approach to Inclusive Digital Youth Work for Socially Vulnerable Youth
This article examines inclusivity in digital youth work initiatives which use and discuss media and technology. The research focusses on initiatives aimed at socially vulnerable youth. Socially vulnerable and digitally excluded youth face educational inequalities due to limited resources, such as inadequate hardware or lack of academic support at home (Correa et al., 2020; Faure et al., 2022; Garmendia & Karrera, 2019). Youth work as non-formal learning plays a crucial role here, possessing certain advantages that formal education does not have—for instance, the freedom to set needs-specific learning goals that are more responsive to societal signals. Through a two-fold comparative case study analysis, we delve deeper into the successful approaches to organising digitally inclusive digital youth work. The case studies (N = 14), located in Flanders, Belgium, were conducted through an in-depth analysis consisting of a QuickScan of practices and in-depth interviews with practice representatives. Our findings identify four success factors for the setup of digitally inclusive practices: (a) providing young people with the means to actively participate during the activity, (b) informing youth workers about digital inclusion factors, (c) providing youth workers with the means to seek help from other actors working on digital inclusion, and (c) including the target group in the creation process of the activity. Based on these four success factors, this study emphasises the importance of a signal-based approach that starts from the needs and talents of youth.
