No. of bitstreams: 1 dissertacao Paulo Roberto.pdf: 307256 bytes, checksum: 72e960631e150ca562a0b12b15164a98 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2008-09-26 / The objective of the present research was to investigate the use of the internet as a research tool by college students. For fundamental theory, we turned to the ideas of Paulo Freire concerning the dialogical character of education and authors like José Manuel Moran that have the same outlook that study the educational implications of the internet for the construction of collaborative and egalitarian learning cultures. As for methodology, it was of qualitative nature and had the data collection done by means of semi-structured interviews done in 2007 with the students studying the 4th module of the course of Technology in Marketing at a Higher Learning Institution in the north of Parana. The analysis had as focus the verbalization from the students regarding the following: access to computers, the ways of using the Internet and its use for academic procedures, and operating sites for school research, the individual interest in researching the Internet and the issues the students had researched on the net. As a result, it was found that students provide more attention to the networking of sites Orkut and MSN. Under the context of teaching-learning-study, the use of the internet limits the research of content of work proposed by professors, it appears as a replacement of traditional encyclopedia. From this analysis it is important to point out that both professors and students still suffer in need of a better understanding of the potential of the internet as a tool for collaborative learning. / A presente pesquisa teve como objeto de investigação a utilização da internet como instrumental de estudo por parte de alunos do ensino superior. Para a fundamentação teórica recorreu-se ao pensamento de Paulo Freire a respeito do caráter dialógico da educação e a autores que, com esse mesmo olhar, estudam implicações educativas da internet para a construção de culturas de aprendizagem colaborativas e igualitárias, entre eles José Manuel Moran. Quanto à metodologia, foi de natureza qualitativa. A coleta de dados foi realizada por meio de entrevista semi-estruturada, no ano de 2007, com os alunos do 4° módulo do curso de Tecnologia em Marketing, de uma IES privada do norte do Paraná. A análise tomou como foco a verbalização dos alunos referente: ao acesso a computadores; às formas de utilização da Internet e seu uso para procedimentos acadêmicos; os sites explorados para pesquisas escolares; o interesse individual em pesquisar pela Internet e os assuntos os alunos já haviam pesquisado na rede. Como resultados, verificou-se que os alunos dispensam maior atenção aos sites de relacionamento Orkut e MSN. No contexto de ensino-estudo-aprendizagem, o uso da Internet se limita a busca de conteúdos para trabalhos propostos por professores e aparece como substituta da clássica enciclopédia. Em decorrência desta analise, é importante ressaltar que tanto o aluno quanto o professor ainda se ressentem de uma melhor compreensão das potencialidades da Internet como ferramenta de colaboração cognitiva.

Exploring learner identity in virtual worlds in higher education : narratives of pursuit, embodiment, and resistance

Steils, N. January 2013 (has links)
This research study, funded by the Leverhulme Trust as part of the CURLIEW project, explored how learners understand, construct, express, and manage identity when virtual worlds are utilized in higher education and how the virtual world itself might impact on concepts of identity. In particular, the study focused on aspects of learner identity from the physical world and learner identity in virtual worlds, the latter being a ‘translation’ of physical identity markers onto the avatar. The research builds on the experiences of 75 student participants, who employed virtual worlds as learning environments. A narrative research approach was applied to thematically analyze interview, focus group, and observational data, collected from two educational contexts at two British universities. Three themes emerged from the analysis and interpretation of these data, which are presented as narratives of Pursuit, Embodiment, and Resistance. The study makes two main contributions to existing knowledge on learning in virtual environments: firstly, it reveals that virtual worlds are ‘threshold concepts’, in which students need to be able to align their learner identities with the utilization of virtual worlds to integrate them successfully in their learning. Secondly, the study develops a five-dimensional typology of the ways in which students engage and manage identity directly in the virtual world through their avatars. This typology includes: dislocated avatars, representative avatars, avatars as toys and tools, avatars as extensions of self, and avatars as identity extensions. The study demonstrates that engagement with virtual worlds and avatars in the educational context can provide a valuable opportunity to foster critical thinking, if learner identities are given a central place in course design and delivery. Then, virtual world learning can enable students and tutors to reflect critically on what shapes, influences, and constrains identity in virtual worlds, in the physical world, in higher education, and beyond.
