Abstract(s)
Na Europa e nas Ășltimas dĂ©cadas do SĂ©culo XX, a emergĂȘncia da Sociedade de Informação veio impor Ă s organizaçÔes a necessidade de que, para alĂ©m das inovaçÔes tecnolĂłgicas, haja uma preocupação relativamente aos bens intangĂveis como a informação, as novas metodologias de trabalho e o know how (Batista, 2002).
Paralelamente a estas inovaçÔes, as InstituiçÔes de Ensino Superior tĂȘm contribuĂdo para a evolução do Capital Humano, como ativo intangĂvel intrĂnseco ao Homem.
Em Portugal e no contexto do Ensino/Formação a DistĂąncia parecem continuar a existir, ainda, em algumas instituiçÔes, problemas de identificação, e de descriminação das vantagens no que concerne Ă estrutura aberta e flexĂvel, com o estudante/formando a ter algumas dificuldades em adaptar o seu perfil e interesses profissionais ao tipo de aprendizagem que mais se lhe adequa.
O e-learning surge como um mĂ©todo de Ensino/Formação a DistĂąncia, sĂł possĂvel com a especificidade dos processos pedagĂłgicos e em complementaridade com as Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação (TIC), uma vez que sĂŁo estas que lhe dĂŁo o suporte necessĂĄrio Ă sua concretização. O e-learning ao proporcionar novas formas de comunicação, de interação e de confronto de ideias, permite uma aprendizagem baseada na partilha de saberes, tendo em consideração as experiĂȘncias e os objetivos profissionais dos formandos.
Dentro destes pressupostos, achĂĄmos importante fazer uma investigação a partir de InstituiçÔes de Ensino Superior Portuguesas, de modo a percebermos qual o papel e a influĂȘncia que o e-learning desempenha nos objetivos das organizaçÔes acadĂ©micas em geral e no Capital Humano dos seus Estudantes/Formandos em particular.
A partir da questão da investigação foram definidos os objetivos e hipóteses de investigação de modo a que ao ser enunciada uma metodologia esta englobe fatores que foquem os elementos necessårios à confirmação, ou não, dos pressupostos enunciados.
Foi analisada documentação diversa, criado um questionĂĄrio e conduzidas entrevistas, de modo a obter e potenciar a informação necessĂĄria e suficiente para o efeito. A recolha de dados para posterior anĂĄlise e os resultados depois de interpretados, permitirĂŁo responder aos propĂłsitos expressos desde o inĂcio da investigação.
In the last decades of 20th century in Europe, the emerging information society, besides a need for technological innovations, has imposed to organizations a concern about intangible goods, such as information, new working methodologies and know how (Batista, 2002). In addition to these innovations, higher education institutions have been contributing to the development of Human Capital, as an intangible asset intrinsic to the Individual. In Portugal, in what distance learning/training is concerned, it seems that in some institutions, issues related to the identification and distinction of advantages of the flexible and open structure, still remain, with students/trainees having some difficulties in adapting their profiles and professional interests to the learning type that best suits them. E-learning emerges as a distance learning/training method, only possible due to the specificity of pedagogical processes and as complementary to the Information and Communication Technology (ICT), since this is what gives the necessary support to its execution. By providing new ways of communication, interaction and ideas confrontation, e-learning allows for an apprenticeship based on knowledge sharing, taking into account the traineesâ experiences and professional aims. Drawing on these assumptions, we considered it important to conduct a research in some Portuguese higher education institutions, in order to understand the role and influence that e-learning has in academic organizations at large and in the Human Capital of their students/trainees in particular. The aims and hypotheses of the research were derived from the research issue in such a way that the adopted methodology would include factors focused on the necessary elements to confirm, or not, such assumptions. Various documents were analyzed, a questionnaire was designed and interviews were conducted, in order to obtain and maximize the necessary and sufficient information to this end. Later analysis of the collected data and the ensuing interpretation of the results will allow us to meet to the purposes set since the beginning of the research.
