Pedagogical communication and ICT in secondary school: miscellanies of a conflictive relationship

Abstract

In this article we propose to analyze the ways in which institutions and subjets deal with situations - sometimes conflicting - that happen in secondary schools with the use of ICT for teaching purposes and in the development of social life. In an ongoing investigation we have relieved common aspects and others in disagreement about the meanings of education, between the interactioning subjects in the schools that are being study. Different methodological procedures were used in socioanthropological perspective such as the application of a survey, interviews, focus groups, records of school dynamics inside and outside classrooms. There is a wide range of positions regarding the meaning of the secondary school: the naturalness of the confinement, the disagreement with the practices developed by others -students respect of teachers and conversely, the challenge of expectations and values   between adults and young people, the possibility / impossibility of pedagogical communication. In this lush field of school disagreements, the presence of ICT incorporates a new problem that we propose to analyze from three situations that reveal different conceptions of communication and the practices associated with it.
