Resumo

A Wikipédia, maior enciclopédia multilíngue de conteúdos livres na Internet, é muito popular entre os estudantes. No entanto, fica a questão: a Wikipédia é uma bênção ou uma desgraça para os alunos da sociedade contemporânea? Este trabalho descreve um estudo empírico com o propósito de investigar os fatores determinantes do uso ou desuso da informação na Wikipédia. Optou-se aqui por se desenvolver um modelo de pesquisa com base na Teoria Unificada de Aceitação e Uso de Tecnologia (Uataut). Setenta e três estudantes de uma universidade local tomaram parte na pesquisa. Os resultados indicam que a expectativa de desempenho dos entrevistados, a expectativa de esforço e a influência social foram aspectos significativos na promoção da utilização da informação. O artigo se conclui com implicações para os educadores.
