Lasten ja nuorten mediaympäristön muutos 1.12.2006-31.3.2008
Internet, televisio, kännykät ja kirjat ovat tärkeä osa lapsen ja
nuoren arkista elämää, viihtymistä ja tiedonhakua. Monien medioiden
käyttö nivoutuu luontevasti sosiaaliseen elämään, yhdessäoloon,
leikkeihin ja harrastuksiin. Samalla perheissä neuvotellaan jatkuvasti
median käytöstä ja rajoittamisesta.
Tutkimuksessa seurattiin viikon ajan 56 lapsen ja nuoren
mediaympäristöä ja median käyttöä Tampereen seudulla. Tutkimuksen
osallistujat olivat 5-14 -vuotiaita. Kirjassa tarkastellaan
millaiselta lapsen ja nuoren mediamaisema näyttää 2000-luvun alussa ja
mihin mahdollisesti ollaan menossa.

Key words: children, youth, media use, media environment
Online Life, a study of children’s and young people’s media environment and
media use, was completed in 2007. The research had four theme areas:
children’s media use, media as a social environment, media culture as a
commercial area and children’s and young people’s media competence.
Children and young people seemed to be insiders in a digital media landscape
and they used media in a variety of ways as a part of social life and
communication, enjoyment, and knowledge building.
Altogether 56 children and young people participated in the research from
various part of the city of Tampere and the municipality of Vesilahti in Finland.
The youngest of the children were 5 years old and the oldest 14 years old. The
research in question is also intended to be part of a profile study which is to be
repeated four times among the same participant group at intervals of three years.
The research method was theme interview preceded by a quantitative survey on
the children’s media use. The bases for interviews were the children’s media
diaries, which they kept for a period of five days in May 2007.
A number of 11-year-olds and especially 14-year-olds used many media
technologies and contents at the same time. This operational multitasking has
become ubiquitous among digital youth. Among the 14-year-olds the Internet was
the most used medium: they were online for an average of a couple of hours per
day. The 11-year-olds spent more time watching television than on the Internet,
but this age group also used networks in many ways and they also took their first
steps as producers of internet contents.
Different social dimensions of the children’s media use became strongly
emphasized in the interviews and media diaries. In all media use the
collaboration and communication with age mates and peer groups had an
especially important role.
Commercial and entertainment media were important for all age groups. The 5-
year-olds created media play, where media contents were part of the play.
Commercial brands and licensed media characters had a central role in the
children’s world. Older children used the Internet as an arena of fan activity, for
example.
The children thought they performed well in their multiform media environment.
Even the youngest children reported that they had good skills in media use. All
the children emphasized their technical skills and information literacy. However,
they could not articulate, for instance, how they evaluate the reliability of web
pages.
The parents were aware of the potential dangers and threats of media use. They
commonly restricted their children’s media use in a variety of ways: for example
by restricting the use of certain media contents and amount of time.
The children proposed that at school there should be more teaching related to
the media. School seemed to underestimate the children’s media skills and
media experiences.
Mediamuffinssi-projekti 15.3. 2006 - 30.11. 2006
Mediamuffinssi arviointiprojekti toteutettiin yhteistyöss
Journalismin tutkimusyksikön ja Suomen mediakasvatusseuran kanssa.
Hankkeessa arvioitiin alle 8-vuotiaille tuotetun
mediakasvatusmateriaalin vaikuttavuutta sen soveltuvuuden ja
pedagogisten käytänteiden näkökulmasta. Projekti liittyi
opetusministeriön käynnistämään Mediamuffinssi -mediakasvatushankkeeseen.
Tutkijoina toimivat Reijo Kupiainen Tampereen yliopistosta, Hanna
