Description

This book adds to the international research literature on contemporary Nordic childhoods in the context of fast evolving technologies. Bringing together researchers from Finland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Iceland, it addresses pressing issues around children’s communication, learning and education in the digital age. The volume sheds light on cultural values, educational policies and conceptions of children and childhood, and child-media relationships inherent in Nordic societies. Chapters investigate both formal education and everyday informal spaces as research sites. The book argues for the importance of understanding local cultures, values and communication practices that make up contemporary digital childhoods and extends current discourses on children’s screen time to bring in new insights about the nature of children’s digital engagement. This book will appeal to researchers, scholars, post graduate students and policy makers in the fields of childhood education, educational technology and communication. It will also be of interest to those studying and teaching in communication studies, learning and educational sciences at a higher level.
