Abstract

People living with decentralization of knowledge and high connectivity. Digital media has changed how we learn and the settings in which learning occurs. Nowadays, we have the opportunity to experience many different experiences through the media and social networks, especially youngers. Although formal spaces are still the main reference for the learning process, the relevance of non-formal and informal spaces cannot be ignored, as well as the amount of learning that is being learned and the nature of this learning. This paper presents an ongoing research which will seek to understand how young people recognize and construct their learning trajectories through digital spaces and what metrics are valid to outline how knowledge moves between these spaces. The research method is qualitative in nature and will be supported in longitudinal studies, which will be the basis for interpreting models capable of representing such paths.
