Jovens das classes populares e experiências do uso da internet como recurso de estudo e aprendizagem

This research is titled: Young of the popular classes and experience of using the internet as study and learning resource. The purpose of this dissertation is to analyze the experiences of young people of the third year of high school, a public school located in the administrative region of CeilândiaDF, regarding the use of the internet to study in the context of economic inequality, social and cultural. The guiding research questions are: What are the uses to which the working class youth of the third year of high school make the internet as a study resource and learning? How is shown the reality‘s social-historical of these youths in the face of economic and cultural inequality? I use as a starting point the approach of Castells (1999) and Sorj (2003) on society in current network. In a second step, I use: Bourdieu (1998) and Setton (2005) to work the concept of cultural capital; Bondia (2002) and Benjamin (1986) on the concept of experience and Lahire (2002) on cultural and trajectory. I do a dialectical approach to work contradictions, listing the uses of the Internet to the living conditions in the economic and cultural context of these young people concerned. The research made use of the application of questionnaires to 108 young people and carrying out semi-structured interviews with some of these. For the interviews I use the critical analysis of speech Resende & Ramalho (2006) aimed at a reflective analysis. The findings in the survey show that the popular classes of young people use the internet to study intuitively, not oriented. The social, cultural and economic reality marks the result of this research from the perception of young people as subjects of a popular class that most often notice differences only in the economic aspect, although these also happen through culturally constructed provisions. These differences are noted in the use of the internet by young people.
