RESUMO

This exploratory survey is aimed at analyzing the university students widespread practice of photocopying the supporting academic material the sources of which are suggested by their teachers and made available in the so-called Teachers Files in the four fully constituted public (UFBA and UNEB) and private (UCSAL and UNIFACS) universities in Salvador (Bahia, Brazil). Because the courses of Business Administration start their term in the first semester and have both the same profile and the highest number of students enrolled in all four universities, their 21 teachers of the first-term disciplines were given data-collecting questionnaires. The 20 duly filled responses were quantitatively analyzed through SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences), a statistically appropriate dataprocessing software. The two open-ended questions were examined via the reading procedures proposed by Barret, which takes into account the cognitive dimensions and the inferential understanding category by drawing upon both the ideas and information explicitly shown in the text and the readers intuition and experiences. The university students practice of photocopying the material made available in the so called Teachers Files was shown to be a pedagogical practice recognized as necessary to meet the demands for information sources thought as essential to the program content of the disciplines. Book chapters and journal papers were found to be the most frequent source material available for photocopying. As a result of the poor editorial activity in Salvador, little knowledge was detected about the performance of ABDR, the association representing the publishers, and an irrelevant number of university teachers reported to be authors.
