This research is part of an exploratory study that focuses on the observation and analysis of the integration of the tablet in the classroom, and it takes part of the «EduTablettes-86» project (Poitiers, France). This study addresses the «pervasive computing» or «ubiquitous computing» as an approach that allows us to understand the direction of technology and its relation to the use of the tablet in the school, in addition, the theory of «situated action» is used as a reference and it makes possible to study the tablet in an application context, besides that, it includes the notion of communication «Human-Machine» to understand and to reflect on the interaction: teacher-student-tablet. We made use of the «ethnomethodology» as a method to understand the organization and structuring of a class session.

La investigación realizada se enmarca dentro de un estudio de carácter exploratorio que se centra en la observación y el análisis de la integración de la tablet en el aula escolar, y que forma parte del proyecto «EduTablettes-86» (Poitiers-Francia). Este trabajo aborda la «computación pervasiva» o «computación ubicua» como enfoque que permite entender la orientación de la tecnología y su relación con el uso de la tablet en el ámbito escolar; se emplea como referencia la teoría de la «acción situada» que hace posible el estudio de la tablet en su contexto de aplicación, e incorpora la noción de la comunicación «hombre-máquina» para comprender y reflexionar sobre la interacción: profesor-alumno-tablet. Se hizo uso de la «etnometodología» como método que permite entender la organización y estructuración de una sesión de clase.
