This paper identifies some natural habits and patterns of children's and adolescents' information seeking and use by drawing a wide range of studies conducted with children and adolescents as study participants. The patterns reported here indicate that children's and adolescents' information seeking and use are affected by the nature of information tasks, the qualities of access tools, their cognitive ability to seek and use information, and their prior knowledge and experience about the tasks and topics given. The findings should provide insights for identifying future research issues as well as for programming the information environments particularly conducive to learning.

본 연구는 시각장애 아동 군과 청소년 군이 가지는 정보요구의 주제, 자주 이용하는 정보원, 정보를 찾는 데 있어 느끼는 어려움, 그리고 학교도서관 이용행태에 대해 파악하고자 하였다. 연구는 국내시각장애 특수학교에 재학 중인 아동과 청소년 25명을 대상으로 한 개별심층면담을 통해 이루어졌다. 연구 결과, 시각장애 아동은 취미, 학업 등에 대한 정보요구가 있었으며, 이를 해결하고자 인적정보원과 인터넷을 주로 이용하는 것으로 나타났다. 아동들은 정보를 획득할 때, 기기 이용에 있어 제한된 환경으로 인해 어려움을 느끼는 것으로 나타났다. 시각장애 청소년은 취미, 진로 등에 대한 정보요구가 있었으며, 이를 해결하고자 인터넷을 주로 이용하였다. 청소년들은 정보를 획득 할 때, 장애 등으로 인해 어려움을 느끼는 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구는 청소년들의 SNS 이용동기와 이용실태를 알아보고자 하였다. 연구를 위해 부산에 살고 있는 고등학생들을 대상으로 조사를 실시하였으며, 사회적 동기, 유희적 동기, 기능적 동기, 심리적 동기, 정보공유, 탈출욕구, 교우실현, 전문적 혜택 등에 대한 설문문항을 토대로 설문조사를 진행하였다. 설문 결과, 대부분의 학생들이 페이스북을 사용하고 있었으며, 그 다음으로 인스타그램을 많이 이용하는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 청소년들은 기능적 동기와 유희적 동기와 교유관계 유지를 위한 동기 때문에 SNS를 이용하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 현재 청소년들이 SNS를 활발히 활용하고 있고 왜 이용하고 있는지에 대한 동기를 파악하여 청소년들의 심리상태를 점검해 볼 수 있다는 차원에서 연구의 의의가 있다고 볼 수 있다.

정보통신기술과 컴퓨터의 보급은 다양한 정보통신 서비스 이용의 보편화와 청소년 들의 미디어 이용 형태에 큰 변화를 가져왔지만, 지적 재산권의 침해, 사생활 침해, 불건전 정보 유통, 컴퓨터시스템 파괴 등 정보통신윤리측면에서 문제를 야기 시키고 있다. 위와 같 은 문제점을 해결해 나가기 위하여 대구·경북지역의 청소년들을 대상으로 정보통신윤리의식 에 관한 실증조사를 실시한 결과, 정보통신윤리의식은 여성이 남성보다 높고, 학력별로는 고등학생이 대학생보다 높고, 거주지역 벼로는 중소도시의 청소년들이 대도시보다 상대적으 로 높은 윤리의식을 가지고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 컴퓨터 이용시간이 많을수록, 그리 고 컴퓨터 사용경력이 많을수록 불건전 정보유통에 대한 윤리의식은 낮은 결과를 보이고 있 다. 컴퓨터범죄와 일반범죄와의 인식차이는 여성이 남성보다 인식정도가 높게 나타났으며, 불건전정보 유통 경험에 대한 윤리의식은 고등학생이 대학생보다 높은 것을 알 수 있다.

This study examines how the family background and educational aspiration of adolescents affect the usage pattern of internet among adolescents. Recently, the focus of studies on digital divides shifts from the gap in the access to the internet to the difference in usage pattern of internet. Building on these studies, this study deals with the concerns that the difference in usage pattern of internet among adolescents potentially lead to the reproduction of social inequality across the generations. The analysis of the Korean Youth Panel Study reveals that the higher educational attainment and higher income level of parents, the children tend to spend more time in searching with the internet and spend less time in doing the internet game. The level of educational aspiration exerts similar effects on internet use of adolescents. The results also show that the effects of educational apsiration is larger among older adolescents. The implications and limitations of this study are discussed.

The number of youth smartphone users has been increasing, and they use smartphone applications to satisfy their various types of information needs. Nevertheless, few researchers have addressed youth information behavior on applications. In this study, the author examined the application use behavior of youth in response to their work- and everyday life- information needs. The author collected 114 completed questionnaires from students enrolled in a middle school and a high school. The survey results show that participants' usage and perception of smartphone applications were high, and they were using information, entertainment, and communication applications to meet their information needs. In particular, their preference for application use differed by the type of information needs. Also, participants were considering cost, easiness, privacy policy, review, information quality, providers, interface design, and recommendation to choose applications. This study confirms the role of smartphone applications as an influential information source, and it also provides useful implications for educators and for application developers.
