In this thesis I shall examine the relationship between computers and the main users of computers in Lycees in Turkey in order to create a model of computer use in Turkey. Systems theory is used to define the sort of model or picture of users that a decision maker needs in order to provide a formal means of incorporating users and their needs into the system. Data are gathered and combined into a rich picture of the users. The 'soft' systems methodology developed by Checkland is used to test the rich picture and link it with monitoring of computer effectiveness in schools. Application of the Checkland methodology is a crucial step which shifted the emphasis of the project from qualitative to conceptual modelling. The methods of data collection and the results are described as the user survey. The following techniques are used: questionnaires, and semi-structured interviews. The data gathered by those methods presented a consistent picture in which the nature of the users' work, i.e. teachers, students, was the dominant influence on using computers in their learning and teaching. Application of the Checkland Methodology and the conceptual models derived from it are described as the systems study. A detailed description of the use of computers in mathematics is necessary in order to generate performance criteria. In addition, the rich picture from the user survey is found to be a fair representation of reality. Comparisons of each model with real world dynamism are undertaken. The comparisons indicate there are appreciable differences. Some implications of the study's findings are presented.

Diploma thesis called "Digital Generation. Involvement of Information and Communication Technology in Educational Process" is focused on the role of computers in a life of adolescents. Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is evolving very fast and transform our everyday life. The aims of the thesis are (1) to explore the change of "digital generation" in Czech society in the beginning of 21 century, (2) to find out if there is a correlation between playing computer games and school results and (3) to identify which factors influence computer literacy. In order to achieve those aims, the comparative secondary analysis of international researches of pupils PISA 2003, 2012 and research focused on computer and information literacy - ICILS 2013were used. The results suggest that between 2003 and 2013 digital possession and using of ICT by fifteen year old pupils increased, so digital generation Y and Z were identified in Czech society. Playing of computer games remains domain of boys. Computer and information literacy increases with experience with computers, self- esteem of basic computer skills and with a higher society status of parents. Better results in the test also achieve girls and pupils of grammar school. Keywords Generation, Information and Communication Technology, Education,...

Tal trabalho deu-se por meio da investigação do histórico, teorias e processos de produção desses aplicativos, bem como da elaboração de uma proposta de design de jogos consonante às características do Projeto Conexão do Saber (Laboratório de Redes de Comunicação/Unicamp). O resultado foi a criação do jogo digital Tititá - uma aventura musical, cuja aplicação mostrou-se eficaz para a Educação Musical / Abstract: This research aims to discuss the process of developing directed digital educational games, mainly for the public school system. This work was made through the investigation of the history, theories and production processes of these applications, as well as drawing up a proposal for a game design project characteristics called Conexão do Saber (LaRCom /Unicamp). The result was the creation of a digital game, Titita - a musical adventure, whose application was effective for Music Education / Mestrado / Telecomunicações e Telemática / Mestre em Engenharia Elétrica
