HYBRIDIZATION OF ACADEMIC CULTURE WITH CYBERCULTURE: ANALYSIS OF ACADEMIC PRACTICES IN MOODLE, A VIRTUAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENT

ABSTRACT: The paper presents the results of a scientific initiation research (PIBIC) about academic culture and its process of hybridization with cyberculture. The study had the general purpose of verifying in what manners the mediations between learners and digital intellectual technologies favor or restrict the resignification of academic culture. In order to do so, the research sought to identify different academic practices of usage of the virtual learning environment (VLE) Moodle and to analyze the elements that constitute it. It is an ethnographic research, substantiated on intercultural perspective, according to Canclini e Martín-Barbero, linked to the Cultural Studies of Education. The results pointed that the VLE Moodle platform has not favored the hybridization of academic culture with cyberculture, mainly because of the episteme that rules teaching and learning in universities. It was found that the practices and elements analyzed on academic culture tend to reproduce the current teaching paradigm at the investigated institution.

摘要：本论文呈现了一项聚焦学术文化及其与赛博文化融合过程的科研启蒙研究（PIBIC）成果。本研究的总体目标为验证学习者与数字知识技术之间的中介作用，以何种方式促进或限制学术文化的意义重构。为此，研究旨在识别学习者使用虚拟学习环境（VLE）Moodle的各类学术实践，并分析构成该平台的要素。本研究属于基于跨文化视角的民族志研究，以卡克林尼（Canclini）与马丁-巴伯罗（Martín-Barbero）的理论为支撑，隶属于教育文化研究领域。研究结果表明，虚拟学习环境Moodle并未推动学术文化与赛博文化的融合，其核心原因在于支配高校教学与学习活动的知识型范式。此外，研究发现本次调研所分析的学术文化实践与要素，往往会复刻所考察院校现行的教学范式。
