Conceptual displacement: Web search as a learning experience

[摘要] The research aims to identify the relationship between the information search behavior on the Internet to solve a research task and the answers given by a group of university students. For this purpose, a quantitative quasi-experimental study was designed, in which both the words used in the web search process and the answers elaborated from it were analyzed. The data were processed thanks to the use of the GoNSA2 platform, which allows tracking the search process, and the Iramuteq software, oriented towards the analysis of lexical information. Among the main results, we highlight a shift between the topics used in the search and those observed in the response stage and an increase in the categories present in the latter stage, which allows us to consider the search process as a learning instance.
