GOMES, Henriette Ferreira  and  LORDELO, Eulina Da Rocha. Tecnologias utilizadas no ato de estudar por professores e estudantes: um estudo descritivo. Est. Aval. Educ. [online]. 2004, vol.15, n.30, pp.57-82. ISSN 0103-6831.

Descriptive study focusing on UFBA’s (Federal University of Bahia) community. The sample was composed by Polytechnics School and Faculty of Philosophy and Human Sciences. The objective was to identify, describe and analyze how orality, writing and other technologies are being used to construct knowledge. The information was obtained through interviews with 103 professors and 112 students. Data analysis was performed by combining quantitative and qualitative approaches. The results showed that the use of several technologies, including computers and materials taken from Internet, has been occurring more intensively at the moment of accessing the contents and debates or exchanging information as a strategy focusing on the organization of integrative syntheses of the contents studied. The analysis suggests that practices demanding focused attention seem to foster the use of paper versions when writing and reading, while the activities of accessing content and debating (using less focused attention) seem to foster an articulation with the “new technologies”. This indicates that the subjects use the “new technologies” as long as they allow more mobility and action.
