Popis: | The main contribution of this work is the development of a qualitative analysis on the behavior of a group of university students and teachers in relation to the type of motivation revealed by a process of awareness about their domestic electric energy consumption. The identification of this behavior profile enables the organization of motivational messages that, when sent to users of mobile technologies, can enhance the ubiquitous learning process in this work related to environmental education. The methodological approach used was the Discourse of the Collective Subject, which is a method that allows the researcher to know and describe descriptive opinions and representations, allowing the delineation of behavioral profiles. In the results we can observe the need for greater clarity regarding the information related to energy consumption. However, for this information to achieve a change in consumer behavior it is necessary that it be customized. This information can auxiliary to the learning process, due to the fact that technology is increasingly integrated with “anytime” and “anywhere” human actions and behaviors, providing a learning process that can be obtained on any occasions, contingencies, circumstances and contexts |
