Abstract

In the present study, the relationship between the forms of capital, the habitus and the technological assets of the university field in the process of technological appropriation of natural and social sciences students was analyzed. To do this, first the volume and variety of economic, cultural, social, political and technological capital of university students was measured by applying a questionnaire. This was done to understand the synchronous structure of the field (the position system). In this same process, the level of relevance that students give to technological capital based on their academic or professional development was investigated. This is also to know the regularities or irregularities of the habitus (subjective structure) of the students. Whether or not it certainly fit the position they occupied in the structure of the university field. In a second moment, the availability of technological goods by area of study in the university field was compared and it was reviewed whether these capitals are part of the analytical program of each of the selected careers. This other instance was carried out to know the technological conditions of the field in which the population under study is located. This research was built on the basis of the theoretical-methodological proposal of the Economics of Social Practices of Pierre Bourdieu.
