Integrado no campo dos estudos sobre as atividades de investigação desenvolvidas
por alunos do ensino superior e assumindo as tarefas de pesquisa e recolha de
informação como parte fundamental de qualquer processo de pesquisa o presente
trabalho pretende lançar alguma luz sobre as estratégias desenvolvidas por alunos do
primeiro ano de um curso técnico superior profissional para localizar e selecionar a
informação a utilizar no desenvolvimento dos seus trabalhos de investigação. Para tal
utilizamos um conjunto de inquéritos aplicados à totalidade do universo estudado nos
anos letivos de 2020/21 e 2021/2022. Começamos por descrever e justificar o
conjunto de inquéritos utilizados – 6 em total no decorrer da U acompanhando as
diferentes fases da condução de um projeto de pesquisa (gestação da ideia,
elaboração do projeto, pesquisa e recolha de informação, tratamento dos dados,
conclusões e apresentação) – e por analisar de forma breve a informação recolhida.
Este trabalho centra-se mais sobre os dados referentes ao 4º inquérito referente
particularmente às referidas estratégias de pesquisa e recolha de informação.
Analisamos em separado os dados referentes aos dois anos letivos considerados (em
relação ao ano letivo de 20/21 obtivemos um retorno de cerca de 76% de respostas
para um total de 41 alunos e para 21/22 um valor de 86% num total de 49 alunos) que
são depois comparados quer em função dos diferentes perfis de formação (áreas de
características mais humanísticas e áreas de características mais tecnológicas) quer
em função dos dados obtidos nos diferentes anos letivos analisados. Procuramos
depois responder às seguintes questões: 1) que tipos de fontes e estratégias de
pesquisa são privilegiados? 2) Quais as grandes invariantes que podemos encontrar
transversais aos diferentes perfis de formação; 3) Existem algumas diferenças
significativas de perspetiva em função dos perfis de formação; 4) as conclusões
obtidas são consistentes ao longo dos diferentes anos letivos analisados e, existindo
diferenças qual a sua significação. Como uma conclusão global podemos apontar que,
apesar de globalmente os alunos demostrarem compreender a necessidade de
recorrer a fontes fidedignas e certificadas, demonstram também a sua preferência pela
utilização de fontes eletrónicas em detrimento das fontes impressas e pelo recurso a
informação recolhida em fontes de caráter generalista em detrimento da utilização de
fontes mais especializada. O objetivo final deste trabalho será o de permitir
desenvolver estratégias de ensino/aprendizagem que permitam ao aluno maximizar
os resultados das suas atividades de pesquisa e recolha de informação.
Within the scope of recent studies on undergraduate research and assuming the tasks of information research and retrieval as a fundamental item of any research process the present analysis intends to shed some light on the research strategies developed by students of the 1st year of a vocational superior degree when locating and selecting information to use in their investigations. To this purpose we use a set of questionnaires proposed to the totality of classes pertaining to the intended universe in the academic years of 2020/21, 2021/22. We briefly describe and justify the whole of the questionnaires used – 6 in all during the course of the subject. following the different stages of a research project (generating the idea, setting up the project, researching and retrieving information, data analysis, conclusions, publication) – and briefly analyze the results gathered. The present analyses is more particularly centered on the data pertaining to the 4th questionnaire specifically centered on the aforementioned strategies used for location and retrieval of information. We separately analyze the date relating to the both considered academic years (regarding the year 20/21 we had a return of about 76% response of a total 41 students and for 21/22 about 86% out of 49 total possible students) which are then compared either considering the different profiles considered (one more technologically oriented another more socially oriented) or considering the different academic years considered. We the attempt to answer the following questions: 1) what sort of sources and research strategies are paramount? 2) which are the major constants one can find across the different vocational profiles?; 3) are there any meaningful differences across the different vocational profiles?; 4) results obtained are consisting across the time frame analyzed and should there be any differences what do they mean? As a very general conclusion we can point to the fact that although as a rule students understand the need to use trustworthy and certified sources they also show a preference to use electronic instead of printed sources and for resorting to popular sources instead of specialized ones. The ultimate goal of this study is thus to sustain the development of strategies empowering the students to maximize the results of their activities of information research and retrieval.
