Abstract
This paper, by inserting itself in the field of study that has tried to display some thoughts on the
pedagogic practices brought by the new educational technologies, aimed at uncovering the meanings
attributed by both students and teachers to the use of the technology of information as a mediator in the
teaching-learning relation in the undergraduate Business Program of the Universidade Federal de Lavras
(UFLA). The analytical effort done here shows that the technology of information as a mediator of this
relation gets different meanings both for teachers and students. In the perception of those actors, the
technologies of communication and information- when performing the role of mediators in the teaching-learning
relation in management- stimulate the quest for knowledge and improvement of the teaching quality.
However, the educational process results can meet some barriers and limitations associated to the
technological infra-structure, the lack of experience of the actors in working in environments mediated by
technologies of information.
