Imaginarios sociales a partir de contenidos digitales en la adolescencia rural desde una perspectiva de derechos

Abstract

The objective of this study is to examine the social imaginaries constructed by eighth grade students at the La Aurora Technical Educational Institution through their engagement with digital content. The research seeks to promote the development of critical and responsible digital practices, framed within a rights-oriented perspective. In rural contexts, where children are increasingly exposed to digital environments from an early age, it is crucial to understand how these interactions shape subjectivities, social relationships, and symbolic representations. Methodologically, the study adopts a qualitative approach. Data collection will focus on identifying the digital content most frequently consumed by adolescents, as reported in semi-structured interviews. This content will subsequently be categorized to determine the predominant themes of interest. Building upon these themes, the analysis will address the ways in which social imaginaries are constructed and the extent to which they contribute to fostering children’s rights and digital responsibility. The findings are expected to inform recommendations aimed at encouraging a more conscious, reflective, and respectful engagement with digital content, consistent with the principles of children’s rights.
