Technological appropriation, habitus, social representationsAbstract
The use and benefit of information and communication technologies (ICT) have been erratic in all social sectors, particularly in education. Reasons: not only limitations on access to them, decreasing though, but also still remaining gaps, and most important because of the way they are incorporated into the academic life of individuals. The appropriation of technology becomes a reality when we make practices that result in a culturally organized use of these tools. The aim of this paper is to show a preview of a case study on habitus and social representations of students, regarding the use of ICT, both in their daily routine and in their academic life as well. Students are from two public universities in Sonora, México. A survey and a semi-structured interview were used as methodological tools to collect information, a questionnaire to a sample of 532 students was applied, and 24 students were interviewed from different educational programs at both universities. There we found that social representations are responsible for a boom in the access to ICT and that habitus originate practices that are not best suited for the academic training of future professionals.
