FANTIN, Monica  and  QUARTIERO, Elisa Maria. Educational and cultural practices of students and their perceptions about the mobile technologies at school. Perspectiva [online]. 2015, vol.33, n.2, pp.523-544. ISSN 2175-795X.  https://doi.org/10.5007/2175-795X.2014v33n2p523.

This article presents an inter-institutional study undertaken in different sociocultural contexts about the Project One computer per student - Projeto Um Computador por Aluno (UCA) -reviewing the focus of the pedagogical practices that goal to make reflections on the educational and cultural practices of students and their perceptions of the project. With a theoretical methodological approach based on media-educational research, the article discusses a multiple case study conducted at four public schools that involved observations of daily school activities, research-education, didactic intervention and focus groups with students from different classes of elementary school. To contextualize the discussion, the article begins with a survey of different studies of the UCA project undertaken from 2011-2014. It then presents the methodology used in the study and a discussion of the specificities of the cultural practices and perceptions of students about the project. Finally, the article presents some considerations that demonstrate that the wealth and diversity of practices present in a single project can also be understood as a polyphony of voices of students, teachers and researchers, as possible interpretations that shape the study in a space of alterity and immersion in the digital culture.

Keywords : UCA Project; School Culture; Digital Inclusion.
