A pseudo-longitudinal approach was used: different groups with similar characteristics at the same time in a different stage of education, from primary school to post-secondary education, were observed. The empirical data show that the members of higher social classes are facilitated to start and finish the career that is considered to be of greater social value. School results of pupils from Ticino do not move far away from the average, compared to the results of the international standardized assessments programs. Those belonging to the more privileged social groups have better results and tend to enroll more into academic education, rather than into the vocational one. The public education system, being influenced by the Northern European model, offers a great variety of learning opportunities at a tertiary level to those who come from a vocational education career. The longitudinal research shows how these ones are better integrated in the contemporary economic environment than their colleagues.

It aims to the development of a set of online learning modules about media his- tory, analysis and sociology. Such modules, produced in multiple translations, will support bachelor courses at different Swiss Universities. The development of Hear and See requires a tight collaboration among partners from different fields. The paper discusses the twofold intersciplinary communication occur- ring in the project – interdisciplinarity at square power. The first level concerns content production, in which authors have to blend different approaches, per- spectives and methods in the study of media. The second level concerns the design and production of eLearning courseware: it is a process in which con- tent, instructional strategies, technologies and graphic design come together. The two levels are analyzed from three perspectives: (a) the meaning and approach to the project of each partner; (b) the communication strategies and practices adopted in it; and (c) the different issues at stake for each partner.

Diversi studi confutano queste tesi, o quantomeno le mettono in discussione, anche se il dibattito e ancora aperto. L’indagine ICILS offre dati solidi per approfondire il rapporto tra giovani e tecnologie, in particolare contestualizzandolo in un contesto geografico e sociale puntuale nel quale le istituzioni scolastiche non hanno finora assunto un ruolo importante e definito. Questo studio cerca di rispondere alle seguenti domande: Quali caratteristiche del Sistema educativo favoriscono lo sviluppo di competenze digitali? Esiste una relazione tra eta di inizio dell’uso delle tecnologie, frequenza d’uso e tipologia d’uso e le competenze digitali nei diversi ambiti? In conclusione si cerca di aprire la riflessione al ruolo della scuola e delle politiche educative nell’uso dei ...
