Evolución antes, durante y después de la COVID-19","abstract":"This thesis analyzes how digital devices have transformed shared leisure activities between grandparents and grandchildren aged 6 to 12 years in northern Spain, particularly in the context of the pandemic. The study is based on the premise that leisure, historically valued as a source of well-being, learning, and social cohesion, has undergone a profound transformation with the advent of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). Digital leisure, understood as the set of recreational activities mediated by electronic devices and digital platforms, has become a fundamental tool for maintaining and strengthening intergenerational bonds, especially when physical contact was restricted due to COVID-19. The study adopts a quantitative approach, using a validated ad hoc questionnaire administered to a sample of grandparents from eight provinces in northern Spain at three points in time: before (N=357), during (N=272), and after (N=137) the lockdown. The results show that before the pandemic, face-to-face and traditional activities (such as games, reading, cooking, and excursions) predominated, while during the lockdown, there was a significant increase in digital leisure, with intensive use of video calls, instant messaging, and social networks to maintain communication and share activities. After the pandemic, although face-to-face activities were partially resumed, digital leisure remained a common and complementary practice, consolidating its role in the daily lives of grandparents and grandchildren. The analysis reveals that shared digital leisure fosters mutual learning, social inclusion, and the emotional well-being of both generations. Grandparents highlight improvements in their digital autonomy, the strengthening of their relationship with their grandchildren, and a sense of usefulness and belonging. However, the study also identifies challenges, such as the digital divide, the lack of technological skills among older adults, and the risk of excessive device use. The thesis proposes various strategies to promote intergenerational digital leisure, such as digital literacy programs, joint workshops, the creation of adapted digital resources, and the design of inclusive applications. The importance of collaboration among educational, family, and social institutions is emphasized to ensure equitable access to ICT and to promote the digital integration of all generations. In conclusion, intergenerational digital leisure emerges as a key tool for strengthening family cohesion, promoting active aging, and building more inclusive communities in contemporary digital society. The research underscores the need to continue exploring this field, designing policies and programs that facilitate access to and meaningful use of technologies for all ages, and highlights the value of shared digital leisure as a driver of well-being, learning, and intergenerational solidarity.","abstract_html":"This thesis analyzes how digital devices have transformed shared leisure activities between grandparents and grandchildren aged 6 to 12 years in northern Spain, particularly in the context of the pandemic.

El trabajo parte de la premisa de que el ocio, históricamente valorado como fuente de bienestar, aprendizaje y cohesión social, ha experimentado una profunda transformación con la irrupción de las Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación (TIC). El ocio digital, entendido como el conjunto de actividades recreativas mediadas por dispositivos electrónicos y plataformas digitales, se ha consolidado como una herramienta fundamental para mantener y fortalecer los vínculos intergeneracionales, especialmente cuando el contacto físico se vio restringido por la COVID-19. El estudio adopta un enfoque cuantitativo, utilizando un cuestionario ad hoc validado y aplicado a una muestra de abuelos/as de ocho provincias del norte de España, en tres momentos: antes (N=357), durante (N=272) y después (N=137) del confinamiento. Los resultados muestran que antes de la pandemia predominaban las actividades presenciales y tradicionales (juegos, lectura, cocina, excursiones), mientras que durante el confinamiento se produjo un aumento significativo del ocio digital, con el uso intensivo de video llamadas, mensajería instantánea y redes sociales para mantener la comunicación y compartir actividades. Tras la pandemia, aunque se recuperaron parcialmente las actividades presenciales, el ocio digital se mantuvo como una práctica habitual y complementaria, consolidando su papel en la vida cotidiana de abuelos y nietos. El análisis revela que el ocio digital compartido favorece el aprendizaje mutuo, la inclusión social y el bienestar emocional de ambas generaciones. Los abuelos/as destacan la mejora en su autonomía digital, el fortalecimiento de la relación con sus nietos/as y la sensación de utilidad y pertenencia. Sin embargo, el estudio también identifica desafíos, como la brecha digital, la falta de competencias tecnológicas en los mayores y el riesgo de uso excesivo de dispositivos. La tesis propone diversas estrategias para fomentar el ocio digital intergeneracional, como programas de alfabetización digital, talleres conjuntos, creación de recursos digitales adaptados y el diseño de aplicaciones inclusivas. Se enfatiza la importancia de la colaboración entre instituciones educativas, familiares y sociales para garantizar el acceso equitativo a las TIC y promover la integración digital de todas las generaciones. En conclusión, el ocio digital intergeneracional se presenta como una herramienta clave para fortalecer la cohesión familiar, promover el envejecimiento activo y construir comunidades más inclusivas en la sociedad digital contemporánea. La investigación subraya la necesidad de seguir explorando este campo, diseñando políticas y programas que faciliten el acceso y el uso significativo de las tecnologías para todas las edades, y destaca el valor del ocio digital compartido como motor de bienestar, aprendizaje y solidaridad intergeneracional."]},{"key":"dc:format","label":"Dc Format","values":["application/pdf"]},{"key":"dc:title","label":"Title","values":["Ocio Digital Intergeneracional.
