Pomen družbenih medijev pri ohranjanju močnih personalnih vezi v času študija v tujini

Vuk, Lucija (author), Oblak Črnič, Tanja (mentor)

Osredotočala sem se predvsem na načine ohranjanja vezi v času študija v tujini, oblike komuniciranja in načine ohranjanja stikov z družino ter prijatelji. Raziskovala sem, kakšen pomen in razsežnosti dobijo družbeni mediji v času odsotnosti od doma in načine uporabe, z njimi sem povezala tudi koncept socialnega kapitala in kako je lahko uporabljen v različnih situacijah. Analizirala sem tranksript fokusne skupine, ki sem jo naredila s šestimi osebami, ki so izmenjavo opravili v tujini. Besedilo sem sprva kodirala, dodala pregled najpogostejših kategorij in konceptov ter kasneje ugotavljala povezave med njimi. Predpostavila sem si dve raziskovalni vprašanji, in sicer: 1) Katere prakse med študenti na izmenjavi prevladujejo za ohranjanje njihovih stikov z družino in prijatelji ter kakšno vlogi imajo pri tem sodobna družbena omrežja? 2) Kakšne so izkušnje študentov na izmenjavi pri ohranjanju stikov z drugimi in kakšne komunikacijske oblike prevladujejo med posamezniki, ki so se odpravili na izmenjavo? V ugotovitvah sem združila najpogostejše koncepte in jih navezala na teoretski del naloge.

• Title: Significance of social media while keeping strong social ties at the time of studying abroad

Abstract

I focused mainly on ways of maintaining relationships during studying abroad, as well as forms of communication, and ways of keeping in touch with family and friends. I have been researching the significance and magnitude of the social media during individuals absence from home and the ways of using them. I also linked them with the concept of social capital and how it can be used in different situations. I analyzed the focus group transcript, which I made with six people who were on an exchange abroad. I first encoded the text, added an overview of the most common categories and concepts, and later identified the links between them. I have made two research questions, 1) What factors prevail with students on an exchange in maintaining contact with family and friends? and 2) What are the practices of maintaining relationships and communication between individuals who have gone on an exchange? In my findings, I combined the most common concepts and linked them to the theoretical part of the thesis.
