Abstract

espanolSe presenta un estudio sobre creencias en estudiantes de psicologia de seis universidades chilenas, sobre tecnologias de la informacion y la comunicacion (TIC); se consideran metas en las creencias, valoradas como medios o como fines. Se empleo un estudio cualitativo, en el cual participaron 76 estudiantes de psicologia de instituciones publicas y privadas. A fin de configurar las creencias, se aplico una matriz ideografica que registro opiniones sobre la relacion entre informatica y psicologia, con una justificacion de esa razon. El analisis consistio en una primera etapa de construccion de categorias mediante codificacion abierta; en la segunda etapa se realizo el levantamiento de la estructura de las metas, a traves de analisis de menciones de vinculos entre categorias, que corresponderia al modelo de creencias respecto a las TIC. Los resultados evidencian siete categorias, entre las que se destaca, como base para el uso de TIC, la denominada “Comodidad y rapidez”, asi como una meta de finalidad denominada “Apoyo en tareas psicologicas” que es, ademas, la que se valora de forma mas abstracta. Se concluye que los estudiantes poseen una representacion instrumental de las TIC solo como medio de apoyo a las actividades psicologicas, la cual se acepta y valora socialmente, de manera que esto obstaculiza su inclusion en la psicologia como area de desarrollo e investigacion. EnglishA study about the beliefs of Psychology students from six Chilean universities in relation to Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) is presented; goals on beliefs, valued as media or aims are considered. A qualitative study was employed, where 76 Psychology students were part of, from public and private institutions. In order to set the beliefs, an ideographic matrix was used, which registered opinions about the relation between informatics and psychology, with a cause for that reason. The analysis consisted of a first stage of construction of categories, through open coding; on the second stage the raising of the structure of goals was carried out, through the analysis of the reference of links amongst categories, which would correspond to the model of beliefs regarding ICT. The results show seven categories, highlighting as the basis for the ICT use, the entitled Comfort and speed, as well as a purpose goal entitled Support on psychological tasks, which also is, the most abstractly valued. It is concluded that the students possess an instrumental representation of ICT, just as support media to the psychological activities, which is accepted and socially valued, obstructing its inclusion on psychology as a development and investigation field.
