Abstract

Recentna istraživanja pokazala su kako se, pojednostavljeno, korištenjem mozak razvija, dok
nekorištenjem kržlja. S obzirom na činjenicu da su mladi danas navikli do svih potrebnih
informacija dolaziti „jednim klikom“ njemački neuroznanstvenik i psihijatar Manfred Spitzer
između ostalog navodi kako neodgovorno korištenje digitalnih tehnologija negativno utječe
na sposobnost učenja, posebice kada je riječ o „mozgovima u razvoju“. Autor navedeno
smatra samo jednim od simptoma „digitalne demencije“. Potaknuto promišljanjima o sve
većoj ovisnosti ljudi o digitalnim medijima te o prevelikom oslanjanju na njih, u sklopu ovog
diplomskog rada provedeno je istraživanje o percepciji utjecaja korištenja digitalnih medija
na sposobnost učenja mladih. Glavne hipoteze istraživanja su sljedeće: korištenje digitalnih
medija mladima smanjuje sposobnost učenja; mladi bolje i kvalitetnije uče kada su pozorni
na predavanjima te kada uče iz tiskanih izdanja; digitalni mediji odvlače pozornost od učenja,
smanjuju koncentraciju i vrijeme spavanja; mladi se zbog poriva za obavljanjem više radnji
istovremeno (eng. multitasking) ne mogu koncentrirati na učenje te su svjesni njegove
štetnosti. Istraživanje u obliku online ankete obuhvatilo je 492 hrvatskih učenika i studenata u
dobi od 15 do 33 godine i potvrdilo je navedene hipoteze. Kao rješenje za problem smanjene
sposobnosti učenja kao posljedice korištenja digitalnih medija te ostalih problema vezanih uz
takvo stanje nameće se nužnost osvještavanja problema nedostatne medijske pismenosti te
njeno kvalitetnije provođenje kako kod studenata i učenika, tako i kod roditelja i djece.

Abstract (english)

Recent researches have shown, plainly, that the brain develops with us, while it withers with
disuse. Considering the fact that young people are prone to acquire all important information
via „one click“, M. Spitzer, a leading German neuroscientist and psychiatrist, suggests that
(irresponsible) use of digital technology negatively affects the capacity to learn, especially
when it comes to „brains in development.“ The author believes that to be just one of many
symptoms of „digital dementia.“ Encouraged by reflections on all the more increasing
addiction to digital media and overabundant reliance on the same, a study has been carried
out as part of this master thesis. Main hypotheses of this study are: usage of digital media
diminishes young people's ability to learn; young people learn more and better when
concentrated on classes and when they are learning from printed editions; digital media
distract concentration from learning, reduce concentration and sleep time; because of the urge
for multitasking young people cannot concentrate on their studying, and they are aware of the
consequences of everything stated thus far. This study was carried out in the form of a
questionnaire, consisted of 492 Croatian students between the ages of 15 and 33 and
confirmed the hypotheses of the study. As a solution to the problem of reduced ability of
learning as a consequence of usage of digital media and other related problems, a necessity
for raising awareness of a lack of media literacy and more comprehensive conduction of the
same is imposed – not just in students, but in parents and children as well.
