Abstract

Bu çalışmada, dijital yerlilik ve dijital göçmenlik arasındaki sınırların muğlaklaştığı tartışmalarından hareketle bir alan araştırması yürütülmüştür. Çalışma bu muğlaklığın nedenlerini dijital göçmen kimliğini merkezi alarak ortaya çıkarmayı hedeflemektedir. Bu doğrultuda, literatürde “göçmen” olarak nitelendirilen kuşağa mensup ve mesleki olarak medya ile ilişkili alanlarda profesyonelleşmiş altı kişiyle nitel bir görüşme tekniği olan odak grup görüşmesi yapılmıştır. Aynı kuşağa dahil ve aynı alanda faaliyet gösteren katılımcıların dijital dünyadaki deneyimleri ile dijital kimliklerinin nerede konumlandığı, yerliliğe yaklaştıkları ve uzaklaştıkları alanlar ile bunun nedenlerinin açığa çıkarılması amaçlanmıştır. Bu kapsamda katılımcıların dijital becerilerini anlamak ve yorumlamak amacıyla oluşturulan soru seti, Avrupa Komisyonu tarafından geliştirilen “Vatandaşlar için Avrupa Dijital Yetkinlik Çerçevesi” nde (DigComp 2.2) belirlenen beş temel yetkinlik alanını ölçmeye yönelik olarak hazırlanmıştır. Bu çerçeve metne ek olarak, toplumsal cinsiyet ve sosyo-ekonomik koşullar da araştırma kapsamına dahil edilmiştir. Çalışma sonunda dijital göçmen kimliğine mensup bireylerin kimliklerinin yer yer yerliliğe yaklaştığı, yer yer uzaklaştığı gözlemlenmiştir. Bir tür melezleşme olarak da ifade edilebilecek bu durum farklı nedenlerle ortaya çıkmıştır. Gündelik yaşamın dijitalleşmesi ve mesleki gereklilikler yerliliğe doğru mecburi bir yakınlaşmaya neden olurken, katılımcıların dijital dünyaya yönelik kişisel ilgi ve merakları da yerliliğe olan mesafelerinde önemli belirleyiciler olarak öne çıkmıştır.

Understanding Digital Immigrants: A Field Study on Experiences and Skills.

Abstract

In this study, a field research was conducted based on the arguments that the boundaries between digital nativeness and digital immigration have become blurred. The study aims to reveal the reasons for this blurring by centering on the digital immigrant identity. In this direction, a focus group interview, a qualitative interview technique, was conducted with six people who belong to the generation described as “immigrants” in the literature and who are professionally specialized in media-related fields. It was aimed to reveal the experiences of the participants, who belong to the same generation and operate in the same field, in the digital world, where their digital identities are located, the areas where they approach and move away from indigeneity, and the reasons for this. In this context, the question set created to understand and interpret the digital skills of the participants was prepared to measure the five core competence areas identified in the “European Digital Competence Framework for Citizens” (DigComp 2.2) developed by the European Commission. In addition to this framework text, gender and socio-economic conditions were also included in the scope of the research. At the end of the study, it was observed that the identities of individuals belonging to the digital migrant identity were approaching to nativism and moving away from it. This situation, which can also be expressed as a kind of hybridization, has emerged for different reasons. While the digitalization of daily life and professional requirements led to a forced convergence towards nativism, the participants’ personal interest and curiosity about the digital world also stood out as important determinants of their distance from nativism.
