BARROCAS, Amélia Landim. Avaliação do uso dos livros eletrônicos do acervo da Universidade Federal do Ceará nos cursos de pós-graduação. 2014. 133f. – Dissertação (Mestrado) – Universidade Federal do Ceará, Programa de Pós-graduação em Políticas Públicas e Gestão da Educação Superior, Fortaleza (CE), 2014. / Submitted by Márcia Araújo (marcia_m_bezerra@yahoo.com.br) on 2014-05-13T14:49:48Z No. of bitstreams: 1 2014_dis_albarrocas.pdf: 3001651 bytes, checksum: a31cb4a57445e6f0875f9d0369b4b0a5 (MD5) / Approved for entry into archive by Márcia Araújo(marcia_m_bezerra@yahoo.com.br) on 2014-05-13T14:52:12Z (GMT) No. of bitstreams: 1 2014_dis_albarrocas.pdf: 3001651 bytes, checksum: a31cb4a57445e6f0875f9d0369b4b0a5 (MD5) / Made available in DSpace on 2014-05-13T14:52:12Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 2014_dis_albarrocas.pdf: 3001651 bytes, checksum: a31cb4a57445e6f0875f9d0369b4b0a5 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2014 / The twenty-first century came under the great impact of the media revolution and the new electronic and digital information technologies, which led to the introduction of different means of communication, especially in academia, which facilitated the production of and access to information. Since 2009, the Federal University of Ceará had the policy to purchase eBook titles as need to insert academia into this new model of teaching and research practices. Thus, its main University Library has acquired a collection of electronics books on various fields, available to all university community, as an alternative source of information for research, teaching and community services. Observing this fact and knowing the need to evaluate products and services for libraries, this research proposes the following problem: What factors are considered decisive for the use of electronic books, available on the UFC´s library system for graduate students and Professors in all graduate programs? The research methodology works with quantitative and qualitative data, collected through electronic questionnaires, developed and applied through google docs tool. This will allow us to translate the answers into numbers and information, in order to organize them and to facilitate the analysis and suggestions for this new knowledge. This is an exploratory survey with a random sample, with no final conclusive arguments. The method of data analysis is the functionalist, accomplished through study of selected cases showing relevance to the research. To tabulate the data, we used the Microsoft Excel program. As a result, it was observed that teachers have demonstrated more knowledge on the existence of the collection of electronic books purchased and available by UFC than the students. In contrast, students demonstrated knowing more strategies of access than the teachers. As to the importance and satisfaction with this type of collection, students have a better knowledge on the electronic library than teachers. Even being unaware of this collection, students consider it very important. Teachers who don´t know the existence of this type of collection consider it more important than teachers who know it. To the degree of satisfaction, teachers demonstrated to be more satisfied than the students with the eBook collection. It was evident that the factors that contributed to the use of eBooks were: its gratuity at UFC portal, its wide availability and practicality. The factors that contributed to the failure of the use of this feature are: lack of motivation, information not included in the basic bibliographies, lack of a more significant disclosure, need for a tool to access it, and finally, resistance to change, once the public not want to change the pleasure of leafing a printed book to a virtual one. / O século XXI chegou sob o grande impacto da revolução dos meios de comunicação e das novas tecnologias eletrônicas e digitais da informação, que ocasionou a introdução de diferentes suportes, sobretudo no meio acadêmico, que facilitaram a produção e o acesso à informação. A partir de 2009, a Universidade Federal do Ceará passou a adquirir títulos de livros eletrônicos como exigência de inserção nesse novo modelo de ensino e práticas de pesquisas. Com isso, a sua Biblioteca Universitária adquiriu para o seu acervo uma coleção de livros eletrônicos nas mais variadas áreas do conhecimento, disponível a toda comunidade universitária, como fonte alternativa de informação para a pesquisa, ensino e extensão. Observando-se esse fato e sabendo-se da necessidade de se avaliar produtos e serviços de bibliotecas, esta pesquisa propõe o seguinte problema: Quais fatores são considerados determinantes para o uso dos livros eletrônicos comprados e disponibilizados no sistema de bibliotecas da UFC, por alunos e professores dos programas de pós-graduação dessa instituição, contemplados com esse tipo de acervo? A pesquisa optou por uma metodologia quanti-qualitativa, através de questionários eletrônicos elaborados e aplicados por meio da ferramenta google docs, por buscar traduzir em números, as respostas e informações, bem como a fala dos participantes, e organizá-las de modo a facilitar análise e proposição dos conhecimentos novos. Trata-se de uma pesquisa exploratória, com uma amostragem não probabilística, pois, devido à estratégia de coleta de dados, torna-se inviável uma amostra definitiva. O método de análise dos dados é o funcionalista, realizado por meio de estudo de casos selecionados a partir da pertinência mais próxima com a pesquisa. Para a tabulação dos dados, utilizou-se o programa Microsoft Excel. Como resultado, observou-se que os professores demonstraram ter mais conhecimento da existência do acervo de livros eletrônicos comprados e disponibilizados pela UFC que os estudantes. Em contrapartida, os estudantes demonstraram conhecer mais as estratégias de acesso que os professores. Quanto ao quesito importância e satisfação com esse tipo de acervo, os estudantes demonstraram melhor relação com o acervo eletrônico que os professores. Entretanto, os estudantes que não têm conhecimento desse acervo, em sua maioria, o consideram muito importante. Já professores que desconhecem este tipo de acervo o consideram mais importante do que professores que conhecem. Quanto ao grau de satisfação, professores demonstraram estar mais satisfeitos que os estudantes com esse tipo de acervo. Ficou evidente que os fatores que mais contribuíram para o uso dessa nova mídia foram: a gratuidade pelo portal da UFC; a ampla disponibilidade e a praticidade. Os fatores que mais contribuíram para a não utilização desse recurso são: falta de motivação; não constarem nas bibliografias; falta de uma divulgação mais expressiva; necessidade de uma ferramenta para o acesso e, por último, a resistência à mudanças; o público para não querer trocar o prazer de folhear um livro impresso pela rigidez de um eletrônico.

Teaching with Audiobooks in an EFL Classroom : The Didactical Benefits of Envisionment, Inclusion, and Narration in Audiobooks / Teaching with Audiobooks in an EFL Classroom : The Didactical Benefits of Envisionment, Inclusion, and Narration in Audiobooks

Castillo Silva, Cynthia, Alatas, Esin January 2023 (has links)
This paper aims to investigate how audiobooks can be used didactically in the EFL classroom. The research questions are: “How do EFL students perceive and visualize the storyworld when listening to audiobooks?”, “Does EFL students’ comprehension differ when listening to an audiobook as opposed to reading a printed book”, and lastly, “What are the benefits of using audiobooks didactically in an EFL classroom?”. A mixed method has been used in conducting a survey with the participation of 30 ninth graders from Östergårdsskolan in Halmstad. The survey is divided into three parts where the first two parts are based on Neil Gaiman's novel The Graveyard Book and the third part focuses on the students’ attitudes towards audiobooks. This paper will draw on the theories of Judith Langer, Lars Elleström as well as those of Iben Have and Birgitte Stougaard Pedersen. The survey used in this paper is theoretically founded on Langer’s five stances of envisionment. The students were divided into two groups where the control group read a printed passage and the other group listened to the passage. The results indicate that the participants had a positive attitude towards audiobooks as they found such affordances as hearing the pronunciation as well as being able to multitask. Previous research indicates that there are didactical advantages of using audiobooks with students. This paper suggests that with the increased growth of digitization, audiobooks should be considered as a learning tool in the EFL classroom.

[pt] A AURA DO LIVRO NA ERA DE SUA REPRODUTIBILIDADE TÉCNICA / [en] THE AURA OF THE BOOK IN THE AGE OF ITS MECHANICAL REPRODUCTION

FELIPE GOMBERG 07 November 2006 (has links)
[pt] Com a reprodutibilidade técnica, segundo Walter Benjamin, a obra de arte, ao aproximar-se do humano, sendo difundida em inúmeras cópias circulantes, perderia o caráter único que a distinguia na sua sacralidade pré-industrial, isto é, perderia a aura. A hipótese deste trabalho é a de que o livro impresso, apesar de ser um produto da indústria cultural, preservaria ainda hoje algo dessa aura de que nos fala Benjamin, como um traço remanescente de sua longa história. Nesse sentido, faz-se um recuo no tempo, partindo-se da preeminência da escrita na cultura ocidental como fato fundamental no processo de auratização do livro, com o objetivo de refletir sobre as possíveis razões da sobrevivência de seu prestígio como meio de comunicação e como produto cultural no início do século XXI, isto é, numa época caracterizada pela revolução comunicacional gerada pelo avanço dos meios eletrônicos e digitais. / [en] According to Walter Benjamin, with the mechanical reproduction, work of art has came near to the human being, loosing its aura - the sacred uniqueness of the objects that distinguish themselves in pre-industrial society. The hypotesis of this written essay is that the printed book, although being a industrial culture product, could preserve something of this aura, that Benjamin told us about, as a remaining vestige of the book´s long history. In this sense, we come back on time line, starting on the pre-eminence of the writing on the occidental culture as a fundamental fact to the process of book´s auratização, with the objective of reflect about the possible reasons of the survival of its prestige as a media and as a cultural product in the beginning of the 21st century, that is, in a period characterized by a communicational revolution generated on the advances of electronic and digital media.

Tištěná kniha versus elektronické čtečky knih. Budoucnost knižní kultury v 21. století / Printed Book Versus E-book Readers. The Future of Literary Culture in the 21st Century

Šulcová, Lucie January 2015 (has links)
This master thesis is dedicated to comparison of classical book and electronic book reader and it examines the advantages and disadvantages of both formats for recipients. In this work the importance of the printing press for society will be described and also the reactions which were induced by its invention. Following chapters will be dedicated to the book itself. Most importatntly what "makes the book being the book" and what are its strength and weeknesses and why it is still popular. As a contrast to this phenomenon the massive increase in popularity of electronic book - especially e-readers in pocket readers, on the internet and in the smartphones which become potential competition for books. The goal of this work is to compare the printed version which is represented by paper book and electronic version which is represented by e- books. Comparison will be based on the description of the specifics of both information tools from technological aspect as well as from the different text perception and the enjoyment from the reading itself. At the end there is an attempt to predicate the possible development in the future - is book culture facing a crisis or will it hold its position in following years?

Image, manuscript, print : Le Roman de la rose, ca. 1481-1538

Hartigan, Caitlin Carol January 2013 (has links)
This thesis examines the transmission and reception of images in Le Roman de la rose manuscripts and printed editions of the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries. Through in-depth case studies, I analyse how illustrators, editors, and readers used printed imagery in Rose books ca. 1481-1538, during the period of Rose printed edition production, exploring wider cross-disciplinary issues concerning the history of the book, the relationship between word and image, and readership practices following the advent of French printing. I argue that the mobility of printed imagery, which was facilitated in part by the wider dissemination of woodcuts in workshops, influenced the form and function of images in books. In addition, I problematize the 'transition' from manuscript to print in the later Middle Ages, through an investigation of artisans' personal and professional collaborations and evidence of image sharing between hand-illustrated and printed books. Bookmakers and readers used printed imagery in fascinating ways in books, appropriating and modifying woodcuts in order to engage with certain subjects and motifs. Readers' visual responses to books are under-examined, and I assess how readers' drawings add insight into their understanding of printed editions and those editions' visual iconography. French books contain a large body of evidence pertaining to image production and reception, but printed imagery is often overlooked, despite its potential to shed light on the practices of illustrators, editors, and readers. I provide new strategies for examining patterns of printed image production, circulation, and reception in the visual presentations of manuscripts and printed editions of this period. I also deepen understanding of the Rose and its consumption in the later Middle Ages and Renaissance, probing the role of images in books.
