Goals
"With this work we intend to (i) know how the use of digital technologies is made by families with children up to 8 years old, in their homes, (ii) what mobile applications are used by children, and (iii) understand the role of families in their choices and practices.
The study was divided into three phases: in the first, a questionnaire will be distributed to families with children up to 8 years old, through social networks, communication platforms, among others; in the second phase, families with children up to 8 years old will be interviewed; in the third, specialists will be interviewed; and in the fourth, we will build a platform for evaluating "positive" applications" (information from the website of the study - translated by the coder).
