Abstract
:
Current research on technology and education open a wide field for the analysis of emergent phenomena in the process of knowledge construction. ICT and their effects on different contexts of formal and non-formal education have disrupted traditional conceptions of teaching and learning. Besides, the growing social and political interest in technological inclusion projects compel a careful revision of educational objectives and practices taking into account the new possibilities offered by multimedia culture and its extensionality. Digital convergence together with the overproduction and offer of new products, is establishing a scenario where ubiquity, life streaming and embodiment are promoting an escalade of market stimulation that strains the current configurations of time and space in formal education. Knowledge construction taking place on this new scenario needs to be redefined in terms of the symbolically mediated processes occurring in the context of ephemeral transformations. We present the results of the UBACyT Project: The Use of ICT by Undergraduate Students and its Relation to Learning and Study Strategies, in the context of previous studies in the field.
