Characterized as document- research, the methodological approach of this work sought to respond to this central objective. The dissertation is thus organized: Introduction; the place, together with the justification of the theme, are made explicit as are motivations and also the trajectory of the research (and of the author); there follow four Chapters and Final Considerations. Chapter one treats of the theme of affirmative political policies, relating it to the problematic of cultural diversity and of the so called “right to be different”, in the light of actual legislation. Chapter 2 schematizes the multi-cultural perspective and its implications in education and sketches a proposal of intercultural formation and its challenges. Chapter 3 brings up the expectations and claims of the indigenous movement before the challenge of assess to superior education, treating of the reflections and positions of the Indigenous Students of Amazonas and of the Council of Indigenous Professors of Brazilian Amazonia. It also includes a synthesis of the discussions realized by Brazilian IESs, focalizing on two national meetings which are references in this debate, both of which occurred in 2004: The First International Conference on Indigenous Superior Teaching, which took place in Bara do Bugres, and the Seminary on Challenges to Superior Education for indigenes peoples in Brazil, which took place in Brasilia and which was organized by the Trilhas Project of Knowing, of the National Museum/UFRJ. Chapter 4 systematizes and analyses the data collected in reference to the different initiatives of UFAM. The Final Considerations contain a reflection on the challenges to the elaboration of an institutional political policy for assess and permanence of indigenous people in the university, pointing out the absence of records and of evaluation of the experiences realized as also of the necessity of an intercultural alphabetization and of an inclusion which modifies the university structures. It also signals the importance of a sharing protagonist roles – indigenous peoples and the University – and of the exercise of an intercultural dialogue so that, in fact, the UFAM can affirm itself ever more as an Amazonian University – where different “knowings” can dialogue and enrich each other. / O projeto de pesquisa que resultou na presente dissertação de mestrado procurou – através da busca, leitura e análise de documentos referentes às iniciativas da Universidade Federal do Amazonas (UFAM) para acesso dos povos indígenas ao ensino superior – construir uma memória institucional das respostas que têm sido construídas por esta Instituição de Ensino Superior (IES) frente às novas demandas educacionais dos povos indígenas, identificando os principais desafios a serem enfrentados no sentido da consolidação de uma política institucional. Caracterizado como uma pesquisa documental, o caminho metodológico deste trabalho procurou responder a este objetivo central. A dissertação está assim organizada: Introdução – local onde, juntamente com a justificativa do tema, são explicitadas as motivações e a trajetória da pesquisa (e da autora) - quatro Capítulos e Considerações Finais. O Capítulo 1 trata do tema das políticas afirmativas, relacionando-o à problemática da diversidade cultural e do chamado “direito à diferença”, à luz da legislação atual. O Capítulo 2 tematiza a perspectiva do multi/interculturalismo e suas implicações na educação e esboça uma proposta de formação intercultural e seus desafios. O Capítulo 3 traz as expectativas e reivindicações do movimento indígena frente ao desafio do acesso ao ensino superior, abordando as reflexões e posições do Movimento dos Estudantes Indígenas do Amazonas e do Conselho dos Professores Indígenas da Amazônia Brasileira. Faz também uma síntese das discussões realizadas pelas IES brasileiras, focalizando dois encontros nacionais de referência neste debate, ambos ocorridos em 2004: a I Conferência Internacional sobre Ensino Superior Indígena realizada em Barra do Bugres, pela Universidade Estadual do Mato Grosso e o Seminário Desafios para uma educação superior para os povos indígenas no Brasil, ocorrido em Brasília, que foi organizado pelo Projeto Trilhas de Conhecimento, do Museu Nacional/UFRJ. O Capítulo 4 sistematiza e analisa os dados coletados sobre as diferentes iniciativas da UFAM. As Considerações Finais trazem uma reflexão acerca dos desafios da construção de uma política institucional para acesso e permanência dos povos indígenas na universidade apontando a ausência de registros e avaliação das experiências realizadas e a necessidade de uma alfabetização intercultural e de uma inclusão que modifique as estruturas universitárias. Sinaliza ainda a importância de um protagonismo compartilhado – povos indígenas e universidade – e do exercício de um diálogo intercultural para que, de fato, a UFAM possa se afirmar cada vez mais como uma universidade amazônica – onde os diferentes saberes possam dialogar e enriquecer-se reciprocamente.

This case study on telecollaboration focuses on Swedish practicing teachers’ attitudes andexperiences with telecollaboration, i.e. an educational tool for communication betweenstudents in different countries to enhance foreign language development and interculturalcompetence. Four Swedish teachers with varying teaching experience were interviewed toshare their experiences of telecollaboration in the earlier school years. The design andimplementation of telecollaborative projects as well as the correspondence with the Swedishcurriculum according to the interviewees will be presented and discussed along with possiblebeneficial outcomes and challenges that might arise in the design and implementation oftelecollaborative projects. These aspects are also compared with findings of previousresearch on telecollaboration in educational settings. Finally, some suggestions for futureresearch in the field is provided.

Les technologies de l’information et de la communication (TIC) sont de plus en plus présentes dans les différentes sphères de notre société, comme en éducation. De nombreux enseignants s’en servent pour travailler avec leurs élèves en classe. Malgré leur utilisation parfois limitée aux fonctions de base, les TIC offrent beaucoup d’avantages qui peuvent être très bénéfiques à l’éducation des jeunes, tout comme les échanges interculturels qui permettent aux jeunes de s’ouvrir sur le monde. Ce projet proposait de mettre en réseau par Internet des élèves québécois et des élèves français de 8 à 12 ans à l’aide du forum de discussion Knowledge Forum et de l’outil de vidéoconférence Via. Les connaissances et les attitudes des jeunes face aux autres et à leur culture, ainsi qu’à la technologie ont été analysées. Plus précisément, la participation, les différences et les ressemblances, les connaissances acquises, les façons d’interagir, les attitudes et le degré de présence sociale ont été étudiés à l’aide d’une grille d’analyse incluant les catégories de Bales. Des entrevues effectuées avec les enseignants et les élèves ont aussi été analysées. Le degré de présence sociale a permis aux attitudes des jeunes d’évoluer, devenant plus amicales au fil des échanges. Les élèves ont appris sur la culture de l’autre, ont discuté des différences et des ressemblances et ont donné beaucoup d’informations sur eux. Donc, la technologie a permis aux élèves de créer des liens avec les autres et d’apprendre sur la culture des deux pays. / Information and communication technologies (ICT) are increasingly present in every aspect of our society, such as education. Many teachers use these to work in class with their students. Sometimes, the ICT uses are limited to basic functions, but these technologies can have positive outcomes for students. Intercultural exchanges that may occur through the use of ICT can also help students to open their minds to others. In this project, students, aged 8 to 12, are linked together with two online software: Knowledge Forum and Via. Via is used for videoconferencing and Knowledge Forum for online writing. The knowledge and attitudes of students toward other cultures and technologies were analyzed. Specifically, the participation, differences and similarities, knowledge, interactions and level of social presence were studied with analytic tools, including Bales’ categories. Interviews conducted with teachers and students were also analyzed. The level of social presence helped students’ attitudes to evolve, becoming friendlier with time. Students learned about each other’s cultures, talked about differences and similarities and shared much information about themselves. In short, technology helped students learn about different cultures and build relationships.

Refugees arriving in Europe face numerous socio-cultural challenges towards being integrated members of their host society. While acculturation strategies and ICT use of refugees have been studied separately, we investigate refugees’ smartphone use for acculturation by conducting qualitative interviews with 30 refugees. We contribute five practices related to acculturation that express refugees’ intercultural exchange within the host society while preserving their original culture: seek information online; communicate with family and friends abroad; meet locals; meet peers and counteract boredom. Tied to these practices, we find the five consequences empowerment, connection to host society, distraction, sense of belonging and connection to origin, which give an account of the various acculturation issues and how refugees use smartphones in support thereof.
