Resumo
The One Laptop per Child Program - PROUCA brings in its name an emphasis on the
provision of equipment for the student. Unlike governmental initiatives prior to inclusion of
computer equipment in the public schools, which were configured with the delivery of
laboratories, this program has already stated in its name the intention to include the student
with the delivery of a laptop. Thus, this study aimed at general check the forms as students
of public schools covered in Goiânia with the PROUCA use the equipment received and the
understanding that they have regarding the possibilities and limits of this program in their
school reality. The PROUCA was established by Law no. 12,249, of June 14, 2010, with the
proposal to promote digital inclusion and pedagogical development of the teaching and
learning processes of students and teachers in the public schools in Brazil through the use of
portable computers called educational laptops. With the aim of contributing to the
development of systematic knowledge on this program, this research has focused on the
uses that the young have of the laptops received from the program mentioned and the
understanding of the limits and possibilities of them in their school reality. We attempted to
investigate how the PROUCA was conceived and implemented in public schools. So, a
literature review was made in order to verify the experiences already registered - in the
dissertations of graduate programs in Brazilian universities, in some books already
published and in the evaluation reports on the PROUCA, as well as an exploratory research
through visits to some schools in the state of Goiás covered with equipment for this
program. With the data obtained in this exploratory research, we defined the schools
that would be locus of such research, as well as the methodological tools to guide it. It is a
survey of qualitative nature, with a dialectical approach, checking the use that young people
have of the equipment received from the PROUCA and the degree of digital inclusion
provided by it. The theoretical framework adopted has mainly the theoretical contributions
of Castells (2001; 2006), Levy (1993; 1997; 1999), Lemos
(2002), Kellner and Share (2008), Buckingham (2007), Demo (1981; 2006;
2011), Belloni (2004; 2007; 2008), Franco (2007) and Gatti (2002; 2012). Using the focus
group technique it was possible to hear the subjects of the research, in the case young
students from two public schools in Goiânia, and analyze how they use the equipment
received and how they manifest in its use in classroom activities. Besides the focus group
technique, the research also relied on other methodological procedures, such as monitoring
and observation of classes with the use of the equipment by students; semi-structured
interviews with pedagogical coordinators, teachers and school managers and questionnaires.
Among the results achieved with the investigation, it was possible to verify that the digital
inclusion recommended by the program does not occur in the schools investigated, since it
lacks the most elementary conditions for its operation in school reality.
