BENITEZ LARGHI, Sebastián; LEMUS, Magdalena  and  WELSCHINGER LASCANO, Nicolás. La inclusión masiva de tecnologías digitales en el ámbito escolar: Un estudio comparativo de la apropiación de TIC por estudiantes de clases populares y clases medias en el marco del Programa Conectar Igualdad en el Gran La Plata. Propuesta educativa (Online) [online]. 2014, n.42, pp.86-92. ISSN 1995-7785.

The paper presents a comparative approach of the differential computer and Internet appropriation methods by adolescents in secondary school, coming from popular and middle classes in the context of the implementation of Connecting Equality Programme [Programa Conectar Igualdad] in Argentina. The article focuses in several research questions: what existing access methods does PCI encounter? And how does its implementation participate in the design of trajectories of ICTs appropriation? How do the students themselves perceive the influence of PCI on their own technological abilities and competence? How do knowledge and aptitudes associated to new digital media articulate with the knowledge manners promoted by the school format and institutionalism? How does the massive introduction of netbooks affect the interaction among different school actors (students-teachers)? The main findings are related to a decrease in the first-level digital gap as well to a increase of the school as an important place to learn technological skills. Moreover, students value positively those teachers who use the netbooks to teach during classes.

Keywords : Connecting Equality Programme; ICT; Youth; Approapiation; School.
