Abstract

The use  of ICT by high school students in the family. Models and options for the weekend. The development of the technology lying at the base of ITC led to changes not only in society and education, but in the case of family, it brought about challenges hard to anticipate a few decades before. The present study aims at identifying the main elements that define the use of ITC in the family, at the weekend. We analyzed data collected from a sample of high school students, concerning the preference for various activities that include or take advantage of means of communication. Due to the complexity of the issue, we made analyses based on gender, in relation to the age of the respondents, to their residence, to the family extension, starting from their religious affiliation or confession, as well as to their education level.
