Escola, Competências 2.0 e Nativos Digitais: Um estudo exploratório com jovens portugueses

Abstract

We intend to discuss students’ knowledge and use of web 2.0 tools and the role of school in the improvement thereof. In this text we will present part of our exploratory study with students of a vocational course in a Lisbon school in 2013/2014. Methodologically, we opted to conduct a questionnaire completed in class with participant observation. The data analysis shows that students, while considered digital natives, lack some knowledge and use of 2.0 tools, in particular in school contexts, justifying a rethink of new strategies and another look at the teaching practice, particularly for this new type of course.
