Given the infancy of the digital era, sporting, thinks and acts in direct contact with ICT, justified the need for this research, based on Kamii Moyles and on the stages of human development and the importance of play for children full training. The research adopted procedures and qualitative case study design as for being an approach that can substantiate the situations experienced within the Institution of Child Education. Survey participants were the director and coordinator of school and four teachers Childhood Education network of the Municipality of the City of Birigüi-SP. Data interpretation was developed through content analysis. The survey conducted showed that ICTs are part of everyday life for children, since children participate less of traditional sports and games in school and are more interested in handling electronic devices such as games, phones, internet and also watch TV at home. The teachers recognized the importance of play, however, that reputation was assigned only in discourse, because we did not observe the actual practice within the speeches collected through interviews. We found that the teacher lacks solid theoretical foundation to pursue their practice, through training teachers, in order to provide quality learning resources for their students. / A presente dissertação teve como objetivo analisar o papel das brincadeiras e jogos no contexto da Educação Infantil e como ocorre a influência da mídia e multimídia no brincar infantil; Tencionou verificar as ações dos professores e equipe gestora diante das possíveis influências das TIC no comportamento de crianças na faixa etária de 4 a 6 anos, tanto por jogos eletrônicos, como por personagens midiáticos. Considerando a infância da era digital, que brinca, pensa e age em contato direto com as TIC, justificou-se a necessidade dessa pesquisa, baseando-se em Kamii e Moyles sobre as fases do desenvolvimento humano e a importância do brincar para a formação integral infantil. A pesquisa adotou procedimentos de natureza qualitativa e o estudo de caso como delineamento, por ser uma abordagem que pode fundamentar as situações vivenciadas no interior da Instituição de Educação Infantil. Os participantes da pesquisa foram: a diretora e a coordenadora escolar e quatro professores de Educação Infantil da rede da Prefeitura Municipal da Cidade de Birigui - SP. A interpretação dos dados foi desenvolvida por meio da análise de conteúdo. A investigação desenvolvida evidenciou que as TIC fazem parte do cotidiano infantil, já que as crianças participam menos das brincadeiras e jogos tradicionais na escola e se interessam mais pelo manuseio de artefatos eletrônicos como games, celulares, internet e também em assistir TV em casa. Os docentes reconheceram a importância do brincar, no entanto, esse prestígio foi atribuído somente no discurso, pois não observamos a efetiva prática dentro das falas colhidas mediante entrevista. Constatamos que o professor carece de fundamentação teórica sólida para exercer a sua prática pedagógica, por meio de capacitações docente, de modo a prover meios qualitativos de aprendizagem para seus educandos.

The present research aimed at identifying the main trends, contributions and pedagogical categories related to TICs in education. More specifically, the interfaces presented in the articles of the Brazilian Journal Education (RBE) from 2006 to 2017. RBE is an important vehicle for scientific communication, nationally and internationally. The selection of the articles occurred initially by reading the title, the abstract and the keywords culminating in the complete reading. There were 21 articles identified according to the purpose of the research. The categories identified were: teacher training, society, work and education, pedagogical practice, teaching and learning. There were discrepancies among the authors regarding to the terminologies referring to the TICs. Different approaches and methodologies appeared, as well as difficulties in delimiting the theme. The initial training in the online education modality worries despite of the rapid expansion of the courses, the lack of regulation, has become trivialized and causes slightness in graduation, a threat to public education and to the universities. At school, there is a lack of physical resources, pedagogical materials and structure investments. This makes it difficult to implement digital culture. However, there is consensus in the research on the importance of studies, research, and development of projects for digital inclusion. The information obtained indicates some possibilities. The current moment demands responsibility, not to increase inequalities, discrimination and social exclusion. TICs need to be seen as resources, instruments of historical socialization, indispensable in today’s culture of societies. Therefore, in order to face the barriers found in educational contexts, such as indiscipline, lack of interest and motivation of students, it’s necessary to understand this process as cultural. To obtain knowledge, to intensify the discussions and to research on the subject, is essential to the TICS demystification in education. As possibilities in pedagogical practice, in training and in teaching, there are situations of collaborative learning mediated in virtual environments. The construction of real knowledge in a virtual world requires conscious subjects of their social value. Learning in a world full of technologies demand interest and can contribute to human, critical and autonomous training in digital time. / As Tecnologias da Informação e Comunicação (TICs) estão cada vez mais presentes em todos os setores da vida, nas relações pessoais, lazer, trabalho, educação, sociedade e cultura. A presente pesquisa teve como objetivo identificar as principais tendências, contribuições e categorias pedagógicas relacionadas às TICs na educação. Mais especificamente, as interfaces que se apresentam, nos artigos da Revista Brasileira de Educação (RBE) no período de 2006 a 2017. A RBE é um importante veículo de comunicação científica, nacional e internacional. A seleção dos artigos ocorreu inicialmente pela leitura do título, do resumo e das palavras-chave culminando com a leitura completa. Foram 21 artigos identificados conforme o propósito da pesquisa. As categorias identificadas foram: formação de professores, sociedade, trabalho e educação, prática pedagógica, ensino e aprendizagem. Houve discrepâncias entre os autores com relação às terminologias referentes às TICs. Aparecem abordagens e metodologias diferenciadas, e também, dificuldades para delimitar o tema. A formação inicial na modalidade de Educação on-line preocupa pela rápida expansão dos cursos, pela falta de regulamentação, uma vez que acabou banalizada e causando aligeiramento na graduação, uma ameaça à educação pública e às Universidades. Na escola, há falta de recursos físicos, materiais pedagógicos e investimentos na estrutura. Isto dificulta a implantação da cultura digital. Contudo, é consenso nas pesquisas sobre a importância de estudos, pesquisas, desenvolvimento de projetos para inclusão digital. As informações obtidas apontam algumas possibilidades. O momento atual, demanda responsabilidade, para não aumentar as desigualdades, discriminação e exclusão social. As TICs precisam ser vistas como recursos, instrumentos de socialização histórica, indispensáveis na cultura das sociedades na atualidade. Portanto, para que possamos enfrentar as barreiras encontradas nos contextos educacionais, como a indisciplina, falta de interesse e motivação dos estudantes, é preciso compreender esse processo como cultural. Obter conhecimento, intensificar as discussões e pesquisar sobre o tema, é essencial à desmistificação das TICs na educação. Como possibilidades na prática pedagógica, na formação e no ensino, se apresentam, situações de aprendizagens colaborativas, mediadas em ambientes virtuais. A construção de conhecimento real em um mundo virtual, necessita de sujeitos conscientes de seu valor social. A aprendizagem em mundo cheio de tecnologias demanda interesse, e pode contribuir para formação humana, crítica e autônoma em tempos digitais.

Consci-entes de que as tecnologias da informação e da comunicação estão presentes no nosso dia a dia, e de como isso se reflete no processo de ensino e aprendizagem, nosso objetivo foi averiguar a forma com que os professores se posicionam frente a essa demanda, revelando a atuação da coordenação pedagógica e dos gestores da escola. Por meio da análise de documentos, do acesso à bibliografia especializada, bem como das observações e entrevistas realizadas com professores e gestores, foi possível listar projetos que foram desenvolvidos utilizando as TIC como instrumento, informando-nos sobre como os recursos tecnológicos permeiam as práticas de ensi-no da escola analisada. Apresentamos uma situação de boas práticas relacionadas ao uso das tecnologias da informação e da comunicação em outra instituição de en-sino e, ao final, traçamos um plano de ação educacional voltado para a gestão efici-ente dos recursos presentes na escola. / This work consists of a research about the use of technological resources in the daily basis of a school in Para de Minas state education network, Minas Gerais country-side, and investigates the implications of the school board role in this aspect. Aware that the information and communication technology is present in our daily life and how this is reflected in the process of teaching and learning, our goal was to examine the way in which teachers position themselves into meeting this demand, revealing the role of pedagogical department and school managers. Through the analysis of school documents, access to specialized literature, as well as observations and in-terviews with teachers and administrators, it was possible to list the projects that have been developed using ICT as a tool, informing us about how the technological resources permeate the teaching practices from the analyzed school. We also made an exposure of good practices related to the use of information and communication technologies in another educational institution and, in the end, allowing us to draw an educational action plan aiming the efficient management of school resources.

Knowledge management (KM) has become a vital part of the successful development of private and governmental organizations. KM is processed tools and behaviors that participate in the formulation and performance of the beneficiaries of the organization, acquisition, storage and distribution of knowledge. This is to reflect on the business processes and to gain access to best practices with a view to long-term competition and adaptation. In this context, the personal understanding of KM is a key factor in successful employments of KM activities. In this thesis, the level of understanding of knowledge management and the extent of its usage in the university library by librarians was investigated. A comparison study was established between libraries in developed and developing countries. Interviews and observations were performed and the results were analyzed. The results indicate the concept of KM is hardly known, however it is employed to different extent between these counties, the developed countries were by far more successful in utilizing current technology to advance their service and personal expertise with few challenges. Lack of communication, knowledge sharing, and the shortage in the budget was essential in limiting the usage of KM in developing counties. The knowledge derived from this thesis advances an understanding of the importance of KM in library performance, thus presenting the basis for improving libraries in developing countries and advancing libraries in developed countries.

L'avènement des nouvelles technologies de l’information et de la communication (TIC) a ouvert des horizons nouveaux, mais pose également un certain nombre de défis aux sociétés humaines. Vaste plateforme de communication et d’expression, Internet a un impact sur les comportements sociaux des personnes et des communautés. Avec l’introduction du World Wide Web, de nouvelles formes de bénévolat/volontariat ont vu le jour. L'objectif de cette thèse est d’analyser ces nouvelles formes d’entraide regroupées sous le terme ‘cybervolontariat’. Le but est de construire un cade de référence grâce auquel le lecteur sera mieux en mesure de comprendre le rôle et l’influence de ce phénomène social tant sur la vie en ligne et hors ligne. Pour comprendre un phénomène nouveau, il faut observer, identifier, distinguer, définir, analyser et quantifier. Ce travail s’appuie sur un éventail d'exemples afin de distinguer le cybervolontariat d’autres formes de cyberactivité. / The advent of new information and communication technologies (ICT) has opened new horizons, but introduces also a certain number of challenges for human societies. A vast platform of communication and expression, the Internet has an impact on the social behavior of individuals and communities. With the introduction of the World Wide Web, new forms of volunteering have emerged.The objective of this research is to understand and present these new forms of mutual assistance which are brought together under the term ‘cybervolunteering’. This research is based on a range of examples in order to distinguish ‘cybervolunteering’ from other forms of cyber-activity. In order to understand a new phenomenon, it is necessary to observe, identify, distinguish, define, analyze and quantify. The purpose of this research is to build a framework through which the reader will be better able to understand the influence of this phenomenon on lives both online and offline.

This thesis engages deindustrialization as a lived process and applies the concepts of precarity as they relate to communities navigating processes of deindustrialization. Through ethnographic interviews and participant observation research conducted over the summer of 2017 I examine the lived experiences of circular migrant labourers and their significant others, who live in the former coal town of Glace Bay, Nova Scotia, Canada, as they engage in strategies to keep their families in the community. I explore the continuities of industrialization, deindustrialization and labour; the history of work in the region; the present sacrifices that families make to stay in the communities; why families stay; and what they circular migrant labourers and their significant others imagine the future of the region will look like as they raise their children there. Further, as circular migrant labourers are away from home and their families for significant amounts of time, often at irregular schedules, I ask about the strategies that labourers and their families use to eke out a living in a marginalized community. I ask participants what it is like to have to leave the community for work; what it is like to stay behind while your significant other is away for work; what is it like to be home together; and what strategies are used to keep in touch. One such strategy is the use of internet communication technologies to negotiate physical and social distance. However, these technologies do not always necessarily make up for time spent away from loved ones. / Graduate / 2019-04-17

Mobile information and communication technology (ICT) has the capability to strategically influence and completely transform SMEs. It provides heterogeneous benefits in information sharing, collaboration and corporate interactions. However, mobile resources do not improve competitive performance on their own. Instead, purposeful or tacit strategic actions are required to combine existing resources in innovative ways, to acquire additional valuable resources or to dispose of redundant resources. Companies have to accomplish this quickly and repeatedly if they are to remain competitive. This research project employs the strategic management theory of dynamic capabilities (DCs) in a qualitative case study to analyse the transformational capacity of mobile ICT in each SME from a strategic perspective. Candidates from ten SMEs were interviewed. The data was analysed to identify: a) the DCs that are essential for mobile transformation in SMEs, and b) the practices that develop and maintain the effectiveness of these capabilities. Eight distinct mobile DCs are identified, each contributing to firm performance, profitability or strategic advantage over competitors. The results were consistent with previous research in DCs by confirming a maximised effectiveness of capabilities when they are tautly coupled with business strategy. The dissertation concludes with valuable guidelines and a conceptual framework for SMEs to strategically utilise mobile ICT and achieve mobile transformation. / Dissertation (MCom)--University of Pretoria, 2014. / gm2014 / Informatics / unrestricted

Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) has grown exponentially in the recent past and has become one of the most important measures of globalisation. Today, Information and communication technologies (ICT) are viewed as one of the necessary conditions for the globalisation of business activities. ICT is also seen as a general purpose utility in many developed countries. Additionally, in many developing and so called emerging economies, there have been significant investments in ICT. Very recent studies show that the adoption and investment in ICT leads to economic growth and productivity gains at a macro-level. However, the link between ICT and FDI needs further exploration, especially in least developed and developing countries. This study aims to shed more light on internal factors that might explain the behaviour of FDI in emerging and developing economies and to understand if ICT capabilities of economies play a significant factor in foreign direct investments. The results from the study show that there is indeed a relationship between ICT and FDI in developing and developed countries; however, this relationship is not significant in least developed countries.
