The Current Status of Internet Use among Migrant Children in Urban Areas from the Perspective of Social Work—A Case Study of Q District in Lanzhou City

本文关注兰州市Q区随迁儿童的网络使用现状。调研发现，该地区随迁儿童网络使用呈现出低龄化特点，手机是最常见的上网工具，部分随迁儿童网络使用不合理，这导致部分随迁儿童身心健康受损、社交能力下降、学业发展和价值观念的形成受到制约和影响。究其原因，主要表现在该群体对网络世界充满好奇、家庭对城市随迁儿童的成长不够重视、教育资源分配不均、社会对城市儿童的关注不够等方面。本文从社会工作视角出发，从多个层面提出引导随迁儿童理性看待网络、家庭给予孩子更多陪伴、学校发挥教育集中优势和社会加强公共服务投入等合理化途径，以期为引导随迁儿童合理使用网络提供案例解释，为推动中国城镇化进程中随迁儿童更好地融入城市提供参考，具有一定的现实意义。This article focuses on the current status of internet usage among migrant children in Q District, Lanzhou City. Research has found that the internet usage of migrant children in the region shows a trend of younger age groups, with mobile phones being the most common tool for accessing the internet. Some migrant children use the internet improperly, which leads to impaired physical and mental health, decreased social skills, and constraints and impacts on their academic development and value formation. The main reasons for this are that this group is curious about the online world, families do not attach enough importance to the growth of urban migrant children, educational resources are unevenly distributed, and society does not pay enough attention to urban children. This article starts from the perspective of social work and proposes rational ways to guide migrant children to view the internet rationally from multiple levels, such as providing more companionship from families, leveraging the advantages of education concentration in schools, and strengthening public service investment in society. The aim is to provide case explanations for guiding migrant children to use the internet reasonably, and to provide reference for promoting better integration of migrant children into cities in China’s urbanization process, which has certain practical significance.
