Policy Priority

Digital-inclusion policy in the United States has historically emphasized home broadband access as both its policy priority and goal. Supplying households with broadband access may not do much to improve the ability of individuals to make meaningful use of the Internet, however, since it provides Internet access with little social context beyond the family. Drawing on Bourdieu's concepts of disposition, habitus, and multiple forms of capital, this paper endeavors to situate Internet use in its broader social context and explores the importance of institutional access, Internet use at work or school, in developing the dispositions and competencies needed to use the Internet in instrumental ways, such as applying for educational programs or communicating with governments. Through descriptive statistics, it identifies which segments of a US city lack institutional access, and, using multivariate analysis, it highlights the role institutional access plays in developing these abilities and its role in further inequality.

Society Today

The increasingly widespread use of the Internet and the increasing participation of females in business have been significant changes leading to society today. As females have begun to have a more important role in business life, in addition to their crucial role within the family in the decision-making process of making purchases, they have had more financial independence. Additionally, the gap in Internet use in favor of males has also begun to narrow. This makes it necessary for e-marketers that carry out some or all of their transactions online to be fully aware of the effects of gender differences in online purchasing behaviors. This chapter consists of a literature review on the subject of Internet usage and online purchasing behaviors with a focus on gender-based differences. Accordingly, the aim of this chapter is to explore gender-based differences in Internet usage and online purchasing behavior and to suggest some e-marketing strategies for e-marketers. Additionally, this chapter provides a foundation on which to build future studies.

Use Of The Internet

We investigated the use of the Internet for health-related purposes in Poland. A telephone survey was performed of 1027 people between 15 and 80 years old who were selected from the Polish population by random sampling. The study showed that the Internet was used by 47% of the respondents (n = 483) and 37% of the respondents (n = 376) had used it at least once a week. Almost 80% of responders used the Internet to obtain information about health or illness (n = 383) and 43% of them did it at least once a month. The respondents used the Internet for health purposes mainly to read about health or illness (95%). Only 3% of them approached the family physician, specialist or other health professional over the Internet. However, when choosing a new doctor, 45% of respondents stated that the doctor's provision of Internet-based services was of importance. At present the Internet is not used as a health communications channel but it is clear that many Polish people are interested in Internet-based health services.

The family is a fundamental institution regulating the use of the Internet by children and adolescents. In the family context, the use of the Internet is modeled and adapted to the family dynamics related to the degree of digital literacy of the parents and their attitudes and tactics regarding parental mediation in the use of ICTs. Recent studies have shown that the strategies through which parents seek to regulate Internet use at home can be grouped into the category of enabling mediation, which includes all forms of active mediation of Internet use and online safety, suggesting positive use of technology, and restrictive mediation that conditions online time or limits activities, including the use of parental control software or other filters. In this context, it is important to determine the perceptions of parents regarding ICTs and potential online risks and the opportunities associated with their children’s contact with the Internet and social networks. The current work is based on the results of a survey conducted with 850 parents of Spanish children aged 9 to 17 years who were asked, among other questions, about their online habits, their perception of their own digital skills, and their critical literacy (when faced with, for example, fake news), conflicts generated by the use of the Internet in their families, or the way in which they regulate their children’s access to technology. The fundamental objective of this chapter is to achieve a solid, up-to-date, and comparable portrait of the risks, threats, opportunities, and challenges faced by Spanish families regarding Internet use. Resumen La familia es una institución fundamental en la regulación del uso de internet de los niños, niñas y adolescentes. En el contexto familiar el uso de internet se modela y adapta a las dinámicas familiares relacionadas con el grado de alfabetización digital de padres y madres y con sus actitudes y tácticas respecto a la mediación parental en el uso de TICs. Hay estudios recientes que demuestran que las estrategias a través de las cuales los padres buscan regular el uso de internet en sus casas se pueden agrupar en la categoría de mediación de tipo habilitante –incluyendo todas las formas de mediación activa sobre uso de internet y seguridad online, sugiriendo un uso positivo de la tecnología– y la mediación restrictiva –que condiciona el tiempo online o limita sus actividades, e incluye el uso de software de control parental u otros filtros–. En este contexto es importante conocer las percepciones de los padres respecto a las TIC y los potenciales riesgos y oportunidades online asociados al contacto de sus hijos con internet y las redes sociales. Nuestro trabajo parte de los resultados de una encuesta realizada a 850 padres o madres de niños y niñas españoles de 9 a 17 a quienes se les preguntó, entre otras cuestiones, sobre sus hábitos online, su percepción sobre sus propias habilidades digitales y su alfabetización crítica –ante, por ejemplo, las fake news–, los conflictos que genera el uso de internet en sus familias o el modo en el que regulan el acceso a la tecnología de sus hijos. El objetivo fundamental de este texto es el de conseguir un retrato sólido, actualizado y comparable de los riesgos, amenazas, oportunidades y retos a los que se enfrentan las familias españolas cuando hacen uso de internet.

ABSTRACTCurrently, many families are confused with educational problems as a result of Covid-19, because the family is the first and foremost institution in educating, protecting and nurturing their children in accordance with family values, religious values, so it can be said that the family is a milestone. children's first in knowing the world. The principle of education policy during the Covid-19 pandemic is to prioritize the health and safety of students, educators, education staff, families, and society in general, as well as considering the growth and development of students and psychosocial conditions in an effort to fulfill educational services during the Covid-19 pandemic.The government has issued various policies and initiatives to deal with learning obstacles during the Covid-19 pandemic, such as the revision of the Joint Decree (SKB) of the Four Ministers which was issued on August 7, 2020, to adjust learning policies in the current pandemic era. In addition, schools are given the flexibility to choose a curriculum that suits the learning needs of students during the pandemic, as stipulated in the Decree of the Minister of Education and Culture regarding the curriculum during an emergency. In connection with the above phenomenon, parents in Garot Cut Village who are too busy with their work pay less attention and lack of understanding in playing their role in children's education, so that parents think that the role of education is more for teachers in schools than their parents. Based on the evaluation and simulation on training from community service activities, it can be seen that with the training, the role of parents in creating the use of the internet for education is still very rarely done. . In addition, the service program presented adds insight for parents how the role of parents and teachers in building children's habits to use the internet for learning has not been carried out. The role of parents and teachers is very important, because they are people who deal directly with children in the family environment and teacher schools. ABSTRAKSaat ini banyak keluarga yang dipusingkan dengan masalah pendidikan akibat dari Covid-19, karena keluarga adalah institusi pertama dan utama dalam mendidik, melindungi serta memelihara anak-anaknya sesuai dengan nilai-nilai keluarga, nilai-nilai keagamaan, sehingga dapat dikatakan bahwa keluarga merupakan tonggak pertama anak dalam mengenal dunia. Prinsip kebijakan pendidikan di masa pandemi Covid-19 adalah mengutamakan kesehatan dan keselamatan peserta didik, pendidik, tenaga kependidikan, keluarga, dan masyarakat secara umum, serta mempertimbangkan tumbuh kembang peserta didik dan kondisi psikososial dalam upaya pemenuhan layanan pendidikan selama pandemi Covid-19, pemerintah telah mengeluarkan berbagai kebijakan dan inisiatif untuk menghadapi kendala pembelajaran di masa pandemi Covid-19, seperti revisi surat keputusan bersama (SKB) Empat Menteri yang telah diterbitkan tanggal 7 Agustus 2020, untuk menyesuaikan kebijakan pembelajaran di era pandemi saat ini. Selain itu, sekolah diberi fleksibilitas untuk memilih kurikulum yang sesuai dengan kebutuhan pembelajaran siswa di masa pandemi, sebagaimana ditetapkan dalam Keputusan Menteri Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan terkait kurikulum pada masa darurat. Bererkaitan dengan fenomena di atas para orang tua di Gampong Garot Cut yang terlalu sibuk dengan pekerjaannya kurang memperhatikan dan kurang memahami dalam memerankan perannya dalam pendidikan anak,sehingga para orang tua berpikir bahwa tugas pendidikan lebih berperan guru di sekolah ketimbang orang tuanya. Berdasarkan evaluasi dan simulasi pada pelatihan dari kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat dapat diketahui bahwa dengan adanya pelatihan maka peran orang tua dalam menciptakan pemanfaatan internet untuk pendidikan masih sangat jarang dilakukan. . Selain itu, program pengabdian yang dipaparkan menambah wawasan bagi para orang tua bagaimana peran orang tua dan guru dalam membangun kebiasaan anak untuk memanfaatkan internet untuk pembelajaran masih belum dilakukan. Peran orang tua dan guru ini sangat penting, karena mereka adalah orang yang berhadapan langsung dengan anak-anak dilingkungan keluarga dan sekolah guru.

The Impact

The internet has been found to be a popular source for human health information. However, there is a lack of information on pet owners’ use of the internet to source pet health information and implications for the owner–veterinarian relationship. Therefore, the aim of this study was to address this gap in knowledge by focusing on UK pet owners’ general use of the internet to find online pet health information and the impact of this behaviour on the owner–veterinarian relationship. An online survey targeting UK pet owners resulted in 571 respondents. Respondents reported the most frequently used source for pet health information was the internet (78.6 per cent), followed by their veterinarian (72 per cent). Veterinarians and other pet owners, however, were rated as the most trustworthy sources. The topics searched for most often online were specific medical problems (61.3 per cent) and diet/nutrition (58.5 per cent). Regarding the owner–veterinarian relationship, 42.1 per cent of participants reported discussing information they found online ‘sometimes’ with their veterinarian. When asked if their veterinarian recommended specific websites, nearly half (49.6 per cent) stated that their veterinarian ‘never’ made such recommendations, yet over 90 per cent said they would visit veterinarian-recommended websites.

Significant Mediator

Within today’s families, there is a growing relevance of children’s Internet use as an important and conflictual educational issue, especially during early and middle adolescence. The family climate can be seen as a sensor on how well families handle such Internet-related conflicts. We extended prior research by investigating the role Internet parenting plays for the perceived family climate of 952 nuclear families using a multiactor design. Moreover, we examined whether families’ educational background moderates the expected association between Internet parenting and family climate. The results confirmed that mothers and fathers with higher parenting confidence more often co-used the Internet with their child, which was found to positively influence the family climate. With regard to the education background, we found that the parental co-use of the Internet was a significant mediator, especially for middle- and lower educated fathers. Overall, the findings underline the relevance of parent–child shared Internet activities as a positive resource of family life.
