Digital inclusion in education in Tarija, Plurinational State of Bolivia

This study analyses digital inclusion in secondary education in the Tarija School District in the Plurinational State of Bolivia for the 2012-2013 school year, using the indicators in the Plan of Action for the Information Society in Latin America and the Caribbean (Plan of Action elac). This is an exploratory and descriptive analysis based on a sample of 311 students, 108 teachers and 15 school principals. According to the findings, teenagers use the Internet to look for information and entertainment; the expansion of mobile technology among them offers numerous educational opportunities; and insufficient training for teachers on how to integrate information and communications technologies (icts) into the learning process is a top challenge. The existence of icts in schools has been confirmed, but not their use. Local and national efforts are helping to reduce the digital divide and promote equality of opportunity for young people.

A sociedade da informação no Brasil: um ensaio sobre os desafios do Estado

Aborda os desafios do Estado na consolidação de uma sociedade da informação no Brasil. Esses desafios são representados pelo analfabetismo, pela necessidade de capacitação dos recursos humanos da burocracia do Estado e pela dificuldade do cidadão comum ao acesso às tecnologias de informação. Entende que a sociedade da informação é algo ambivalente para o Estado brasileiro. Ela representa os desafios e as oportunidades para o desenvolvimento em uma ordem informacional, caracterizada pela velocidade das mudanças no contexto da sociedade contemporânea. Portanto, o Estado precisa elaborar e aplicar políticas públicas comprometidas com a real superação desses desafios, para a construção de uma sociedade da informação mais eqüitativa no Brasil.

Government procurement policy in developing countries: the case of Petrobras

The aim of this article is to discuss whether public procurement policy can promote innovation by firms located in developing countries. The literature on technological learning is used to create a typology for assessing the impact of public procurement in developing countries from the standpoint of innovation. Petrobras, a Brazilian state-owned enterprise, was chosen as a case study. Petrobras is a global leader in the field of deepwater oil production technology and so offers an interesting opportunity to investigate whether government procurement in developing countries is used to promote the capability of domestic firms to develop innovations. The article presents the findings of a field survey on P-51, a platform that was ordered by the Brazilian state-owned enterprise and began producing in 2009. The case study is based on information collected from interviews with managers of Petrobras, EPC contractors and some of the firms subcontracted to work on P-51.

Through data analysis, was explicit the difference between public and private schools, however, student interest was unanimous by the technologies and equitably
