Abstract(s)
Nos dias de hoje, a população jovem recorre cada vez mais à segunda geração de comunidades e serviços, ou seja, aos recursos e aplicações existentes na Web 2.0, particularmente as redes sociais. As redes sociais, nos últimos tempos, têm tido uma visibilidade crescente, um aumento constante no número de utilizadores e na diversificação das formas de utilização, seja para interagir com pessoas conhecidas como para conhecer pessoas novas. Plataformas como o Facebook, Instagram e X ganharam espaço na rotina dos jovens portugueses.
As escolas devem manter-se atualizadas e adaptar-se às contínuas inovações tecnológicas da sociedade da informação e comunicação. No ensino superior, os docentes podem incorporar aplicações da Web 2.0, como as redes sociais, para enriquecer o processo de ensino e aprendizagem dos estudantes em várias disciplinas. As redes sociais tornaram-se uma parte integrante da vida dos jovens, que estão cada vez mais ligados à Internet e cabe à comunidade educativa apoiar os estudantes na utilização dessas plataformas para expressar a sua aprendizagem. Desta forma, nota-se que o Instagram, WhatsApp e TikTok são as redes sociais mais utilizadas, de acordo com a pesquisa realizada para este trabalho sobre as redes mais utilizadas na Instituto Politécnico de Bragança (IPB).
Assim, o objetivo do estudo a desenvolver assentou em perceber o papel das redes sociais no desempenho académico dos estudantes do Instituto Politécnico de Bragança. Optou-se por uma investigação quantitativa e como técnicas estatísticas as descritivas exploratórias, inferenciais e multivariadas. Para o efeito, foi necessário elaborar um questionário com base no objetivo de estudo, posteriormente foi aplicado o questionário aos estudantes do IPB. A amostra encontrada para aferir sobre a população foi de 145 inquiridos.
Pelos resultados obtidos observou-se que os estudantes estão totalmente ligados às redes sociais. Porém, as redes sociais nem contribuem positivamente nem negativamente para o desempenho académico dos estudantes.
Nowadays, young people are increasingly turning to the second generation of communities and services, i.e. Web 2.0 resources and applications, particularly social networks. Social networks have recently become increasingly visible, with a constant increase in the number of users and a diversification of the ways in which they are used, both to interact with people they know and to meet new people. Platforms such as Facebook, Instagram and X have gained a foothold in the routines of young Portuguese. Schools must keep up to date and adapt to the continuous technological innovations of the information and communication society. In higher education, teachers can incorporate Web 2.0 applications, such as social networks, to enrich the teaching and learning process for students in various subjects. Social networks have become an integral part of the lives of young people, who are increasingly connected to the Internet, and it is up to the educational community to support students in using these platforms to express their learning. In this way, it can be seen that Instagram, WhatsApp and TikTok are the most used social networks, according to the research carried out for this work on the most used networks at the Polytechnic Institute of Bragança (IPB). The aim of the study is therefore to understand the role of social networks in the academic performance of students at the Polytechnic Institute of Bragança. The methodology adopted was descriptive and exploratory in nature. To this end, it was necessary to draw up a questionnaire based on the objective of the study, after which the questionnaire was applied to IPB students. The sample was 145 respondents The results show that students are fully connected to social networks. However, social networks neither contribute positively nor negatively to students' academic performance.
