Strategies for a sociological diagnosis of communicational environment of students

The paper starts with a presentation of one of the latest community orientations about education and training. In particular, it focuses on need to use systems of analysis able to supervise socialization processes experienced at school, specifically focusing on the influence that new communication technologies has on way of knowledge construction, elaboration and transmission of students. The hypothesis, indeed, is that such a cultural change could modify the most common dynamics of thought and action among students. Starting by the importance teachers have to know about media habits and preferences of their students due to direct their interventions for school wellness, this paper shows a mathematical model of formalisation of the mean influence rate of each communicational standard on cultural system of students. So, the quantitative elaboration of these influences is the basis for construction of a sociological diagnosis of the cultural situation of students considered as fundamental requirements to select effective teaching strategies and supports for decision processes. The paper finishes with the presentation of the definition of a class cultural situation on which the model has been tested with the goal of a formal validation.
