This research makes empirical tests of a Bourdieu concept for sociology of science: the social hierarchy of objects. Looking at the specific field of Education, the research sought to measure the position of Digital Information and Communication Technologies (DICT) within this hierarchy. To this end, we collected metadata of thesis defended in postgraduate programs in Education in Brazil with grade five and higher between 1996 and 2016. The data indicated the production by HEI and geographically. Also the keywords were analyzed in a Network and indicators of centrality and density were used to map the hierarchy of objects and, consequently, the distribution of scientific capital among them in the field. Empirical tests have shown that DICT and distance education, as necessarily mediated by a technology, have relevance within the field as a concentration of symbolic capital. The analysis showed that the Hierarchy formed by the technologies segment was denser than the total network and that there was a considerable weight for the distance education modality. Regarding the hierarchy of objects in the DE subfield, a certain autonomy was observed in relation to the complete field, since its objects turned to subjects more important to the modality related to the student. Finally, statements from other DE studies were compared with the research data that showed some quantitative divergences, but qualitative convergences emphasizing the same observed trends and corroborating the analyzes of this research.
