Dimensions to be considered in teaching, learning and research with mobile devices with touchscreen

Resumo

Mobile devices with touchscreen - smartphone or tablet - constitute a physical extension of the body, and the communication that such interfaces promote has come to be understood as displacement. Considering specificities such as mobility, convergence and ubiquity, this article proposes six dimensions (contemporaneity, socio-technical, neurocognitive, perceptive-affective, discursive-communicative, political-pedagogical) that can be considered in teaching, learning or research in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). Dimensions are delimited with the features of contemporaneity.
