Resumo
The information and communication technologies (ICTs) have changed the ways
of society to communicate, and relate mainly to learn. This expansion and
popularization of technology, more specifically the interconnection of personal
computer to the Internet were called cyberspace (LÉVY, 1999). In this form,
relations hips occur in the virtual world so that which was previously restricted to
the physical space, expanded into the various types of interaction. These
innovations enhance the formation of social networks. A common feature of social
networks is the sharing of information, interests and goals. Such communities may
be related to the idea of collaboration, which people act cooperatively in
community, in order to produce common works. All this context suggests new
approaches to confront the current traditional system of teaching and learning,
which is characterized by the transmission of contents, conditional on major
subjects. Thus, among many possibilities that ICTs offers, we chose to analyze
and reflect on the social networking in terms of types, content, objectives and
discussion of specific chemical, in order to devise possible ways of using Orkut in
teaching chemistry. For this survey, we intend to analyze further the
epistemological assumptions on existing sites, such as Orkut in terms of
discourses of its participants. We analyzed 13 of the 1105 communities found
related to chemistry and to provide at least 50 members. The results show that the
purpose of users to join the community and a sense of affinity and the few
discussions, appearing in relation to the chemical, are based on general matters,
as a form of entertainment using the scientific knowledge. The topics which
address chemical contents, lose the opportunity for discussion because of the lack
of an active moderator. Regarding the view of science teachers, we noticed a
strong presence in the positivist view of the participants, a reflection of what
happens in a real society. Thus, it appears that Orkut and social networking
community which contains for the use of discussion forums is definitely not the
locus of knowledge, although it may provide moments of informal learning.
