”You also learn how to learn what is good” : Youth discuss searching for Information on the Internet in focus groups (English)
Abstract [en]

The aim of this study is to get more knowledge about youths strategies in searching for Information online. The data was gathered with focusgroups conducted with four youths in each group. The participants were students in year nine of the swedish elementary school. After two focusgroups several themes identified in the material from group one reappeared in the material from group two, the material from two groups was enough for this purpose. The themes identified were searches, results and how to evaluate sources. The findings of the study were analysed with a sociocultural using thematic analysis. The youths expressed that they see internet searches as something they do all the time. They said that they had learned how to evaluate sources and what to believe in from the school and their parents. The youths preferred to use the search-questions that Google suggested and claimed that they resulted in a better result rather than using their own queries. They reflected on the words they use to initiate a search and they change their wording if needed to get a result they are satisfied with. The youths also expressed that they just know things about digital literacy since they grew up with it. In a sociocultural context this is the learning initiated by the need for development in the society.
