The term “digital native” was initially introduced by John Perry Barlow and Marc Prensky, referring to individuals who have been exposed to digital technology throughout their lives. Generally younger in age, these individuals exhibit a seamless fluency in technology, effortlessly maneuvering through smartphones, social media, and the internet^[1]. However, the term has been scrutinized for its lack of solid empirical support and has since evolved within scholarly discurso^[2]. New concepts like Digital Visitor and Resident have emerged, and the digital native category has been subdivided into groups such as avoiders, minimalists, and eager participants. Digital natives are typically associated with a desire for freedom, creativity, and personalization, with peer influence playing a significant role in their decision-making process. Their constant interaction with technology can potentially alter brain physiology and thought processes. In the educational context, digital natives tend to prefer interactive and investigative learning methods, showing a propensity for multitasking and visual learning.

Definición de términos

1. ↑ internet. Internet, una red mundial de sistemas informáticos interconectados, utiliza protocolos de comunicación estandarizados, predominantemente TCP/IP, para conectar dispositivos en todo el planeta. El término "Internet" tiene su origen en el término "internetted" de 1849 y fue adoptado posteriormente por el Departamento de Guerra de EE.UU. en 1945. Los inicios de Internet se remontan a los años 60, cuando los informáticos desarrollaron sistemas de tiempo compartido que acabaron desembocando en la creación de ARPANET en 1969. Internet funciona de forma autónoma, sin ningún control central, y la Corporación de Internet para la Asignación de Nombres y Números (ICANN) gestiona sus principales espacios de nombres. Ha revolucionado los métodos tradicionales de comunicación y ha experimentado un crecimiento exponencial, con un número de usuarios de Internet que crece entre 20% y 50% cada año. En 2019, más de la mitad de la población mundial utilizaba Internet. El conjunto de protocolos de Internet, que comprende TCP/IP y cuatro capas conceptuales, dirige los paquetes de Internet a sus destinos previstos. Servicios fundamentales como el correo electrónico y la telefonía por Internet funcionan en Internet. La World Wide Web, una extensa red de documentos interconectados, es un elemento crucial de Internet.

2. ↑ discurso. El tema principal de este artículo, el discurso, es un concepto frecuente en las ciencias sociales que se refiere a los diálogos o debates formales en torno a un tema específico. Incluye el lenguaje utilizado, las discusiones mantenidas y los documentos escritos que contribuyen a nuestra comprensión de las construcciones sociales. El discurso guarda una profunda relación con las dinámicas de poder y contribuye a moldear nuestra realidad. Numerosas perspectivas teóricas, como el modernismo, el estructuralismo, el postestructuralismo y la teoría del discurso de Foucault, aportan ideas sobre el discurso. Diversas formas de análisis del discurso, como el análisis crítico, el análisis de la conversación y el análisis foucaultiano del discurso, ayudan a descifrar las tendencias de la comunicación y los marcos sociales. El estudio del discurso se aplica ampliamente en diversos campos como la sociología, la política medioambiental y los estudios culturales, y tiene efectos profundos en los discursos de género y las normas sociales. Estudiosos de la talla de James P. Gee, Robert Stalnaker y Peter Pagin han contribuido significativamente al análisis del discurso. La investigación sobre el discurso es de suma importancia en las ciencias sociales, ya que mejora nuestro conocimiento del lenguaje, la identidad y las jerarquías de poder.

Nativo digital (Wikipedia)

El término digital native describes a person who has grown up in the era de la información. The term "digital native" was coined by Marc Prensky, an American writer, speaker and technologist who wrote several articles referencing this subject. This term specifically applied to the generation that grew up in the "digital age," predominantly regarding individuals born after the year 1980, namely Millennials, Generación Zy Generation Alpha. Individuals from these demographic cohorts can consume digital information quickly and comfortably through electronic devices and platforms such as ordenadores, teléfonos móvilesy redes sociales.

Digital natives are distinguished from digital immigrants, people who grew up in a world dominated by print and television because they were born before the advent of the Internet. The digital generation grew up with increased confidence in the technology that they were encircled and engulfed in. This was thanks in part to their predecessors growing interest into a subject that was previously an unknown. Due to their upbringing, this digital generation of youth became fixated on their technologies as it became an ingrained, integral and essential way of life. Prensky concluded that due to the volume of daily interactions with technology, the digital native generation had developed a completely different way of thinking. Though the brains may not have changed physically, pathways and thinking patterns had evolved, and brains had changed to be physiologically different than those of the bygone era. Repeated exposure had helped grow and stimulate certain regions of the brain, while other unused parts of the brain were reduced in size. The terms digital native and digital immigrant are often used to describe the digital generation gap in terms of the ability of technological use among people born after 1980 and those born before. The term digital native is a highly contested concept, being considered by many education researchers as a persistent myth not founded on empirical evidence and many argue for a more nuanced approach for understanding the relationship between digital media, learning and youth.
