The quantified self movement is gaining more and more supporters worldwide. No wonder if children are already enthusiastic about this trend. I found a glaring example of this in Estonia.
I admit it: The enthusiasm for measuring yourself in all details and for self-improvement is just a little scary to me - even if the self-trackers certainly gain results in this way that help them to self-optimize and increase efficiency .
That is also the main argument of the self-tracker, these Stress - as I personally think - to do. Now every adult can hold it as he wants. When I recently visited the ICT demo center on a press trip to Estonia, where we were able to see how it works and Organization of the electronic state, I noticed that the children are already being raised to have a kind of “quantified self” here – and that makes me think very, very much.
E-School is the name of the tool that the majority of Estonians use and that initially appears to be nothing more than a kind of class register - but in electronic form. The teachers can enter here, for example, what was done in class, what homework they gave, but also the grades. What is new is the speed at which the data is transmitted to the parents: namely immediately. Among other things, also by SMS.
On the website, the PR reads as follows - including a nice video on the subject:
Now one or the other will say: “How practical. There are no annoying parenting discussions. And you can take countermeasures immediately if something is not going well. " Right. And those were the arguments that the enthusiastic Estonians gave us for the fact that almost everyone in Estonia uses this tool - provided that the school that pays for this service offers it.
"If the child does not arrive at school, the parents will receive a text message," it said. That still likes useful be. But what happens when the child chatted with the person next to the table and received an entry in the “class book”? Does it really make sense if parents are informed at all times about every step their children take? How do you see it?
A father told us that he was initially concerned that his daughter might be monitored feel. But she asked her father to check what homework she had. Apparently she didn't see a Big Brother situation at all - rather, the supervisor was made the secretary.
The child clearly sees his practical, personal gain in efficiency in the situation. Is everything okay then? I think one should still make a few considerations:
However, you have to say: Those Estonians I spoke to all thought the tool was great - and said that at least the majority of Estonians use it. So maybe my prophecies of doom are completely wrong?
I do not think so. Because: Children are made familiar here very early on that constant (self-)monitoring is normal and should not be questioned. But what does that do to one Society, in which this topic is dealt with completely uncritically?
