Abstract :
This article presents the first results of the work carried out by the research group of UESiglo21 from Córdoba, Argentina. The research does focus on the attention as a cognitive process linked with learning tools using a software platform of a course of the university. The methodological design used is mixed, called DexPlis of quantitative and qualitative phase. Preliminary results showed a different performance of the attention, from its conceptual and operational definition, depending on the nature of the support, text or video. The next steps contemplate delving in the qualitative exploratory phase to reveal the motivational meanings of attention related to the effect of the new social imaginary telematic environment where learning with Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) is developed.
