Narratives on Information and Communication Technologies by Academics in Social Sciences
Journal Title: Moment Dergi - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
This study which constitutes a part of the completed doctoral dissertation titled "Usage Practices of Information and Communication Technologies by Academics of Social Sciences" (Çetinkaya, 2017) focuses on how academics working in the field of social sciences relate to information and communication technologies (ICTs) in their everyday lives. The main concern of the study is how academics’ reception of information and communication technologies (ICTs) transformed from past up to present. Throughout the research, narratives related to ICTs were examined to figure out the transformation of the academy and academics. In this context, Pierre Bourdieu’s habitus is one of the main concepts that accompanies the field study. The research data was obtained through qualitatively driven multimethod approach and diachronic ethnography. Fieldwork was conducted through semi-structured in-depth interviews, long-term participant observations and face-to-face open-ended surveys. As a result of the research, it was revealed that ICTs appear to be in the center of academic everyday life for many academics and are one of the main components of dominant academic habitus.
