Goals
"In autumn 2016, the research institute IFES, commissioned by the Federal Youth Council (BJV) and with the financial support of the Federal Ministry of Education, conducted a survey among 439 people between the ages of 14 and 20 throughout Austria, which examined the topic of the internet and media literacy. Now the results have been presented. The study shows, among other things, how young people assess their digital skills, how they evaluate them in their social environment (e.g. their parents, classmates or teachers), what they learn at school with regard to media education and what they would like to see increased here. Questions such as internet use, being affected by cyber-bullying or interest in net-political topics were also asked."
