Valenčič, Sara (author), Lobe, Bojana (mentor), Polajnar, Emil (co-mentor)

Spletna socialna omrežja so v zadnjih letih postala zelo priljubljena, predvsem med mladimi, ki jih vsakodnevno uporabljajo. Socialna omrežja so lahko aplikacije, spletne storitve ali spletne strani, ki uporabnikom omogočajo druženje, deljenje misli in aktivnosti ter komunikacijo znotraj omrežja. V diplomskem delu me zanima, kako mladostniki z lažjo motnjo v duševnem razvoju uporabljajo spletna socialna omrežja in kateri izzivi oziroma priložnosti se kažejo pri njihovi uporabi. Osredotočila sem se na tri najbolj obiskana omrežja med mladimi, in sicer Snapchat, Instagram in Facebook. Za metodo zbiranja podatkov sem uporabila poglobljeni intervju in s pomočjo vodiča po vprašanjih izvedla deset poglobljenih intervjujev, od tega pet intervjujev z otroki, ki imajo lažjo motnjo v duševnem razvoju, in pet intervjujev z njihovimi starši. Rezultati so pokazali, da otroci z lažjo motnjo v duševnem razvoju spletna socialna omrežja uporabljajo predvsem za komunikacijo z obstoječimi prijatelji in ne toliko za spoznavanje novih ljudi.

• Title: Usage of online social networks among children with special needs

Abstract

Online social networks have become very popular in recent years, especially among the younger generation, who use them on a daily basis. Said social networks are applications, online services and web pages that allow users to socialize and share thoughts, ideas and activities. In this paper I am interested in how children with mild intelactual disabilities use online social networks and which challenges and opportunities they are faced with when using them. I focus on three most widely used netoworks among youth: Snapchat, Instagram and Facebook. The method used in the paper is in-depth interview; I conducted ten such interviews, five with children with mild intelectual disabilities and five with their parents. Results show that such children use online social networks chiefly to communicate with existing friends and less so to meet new ones.
