Abstract

The present paper seeks to socialize the understanding brought about by the investigation of the processes of appropriation and use of information and communication technologies in the educational field of engineering, at a private University that offers in-class education in Latin America. This study is carried out in a context of complexity called “information society and knowledge”, interweaving related fields (called dimensions), such as education, communication, information technologies and subjectivity. The article presents results of the imaginaries of the information society that the actors (students and teachers of a Faculty of Engineering) have of the appropriation, recognition and measurement of the information and communication technologies in its educational events. The analyzed results correspond to the relationships between information society, knowledge and education.
