Este estudo trata das “Experiências outras na utilização das TIC como interface pedagógica na escola de Educação de Jovens e Adultos”. Como objetivo geral da pesquisa, propomos analisar como a utilização das TIC como interface pedagógica contribui com os sujeitos da EJA. Apresentamos como problema da pesquisa a busca de resposta para a seguinte questão: Como utilizar as tecnologias da informação e da comunicação como interface pedagógica para os sujeitos da EJA? Os objetivos específicos são: Investigar as experiências de aprendizagens dos estudantes no laboratório de informática; refletir epistemologicamente os conceitos de Letramentos, TIC e EJA;identificar que projetos contribuem como interface pedagógica para melhoria da aprendizagem. A abordagem de pesquisa adotada. Foi a qualitativa, de natureza descritivo-analítica, com instrumentalização do estudo de caso e a efetivação de um conjunto de entrevistas semiestruturadas e análise documental. Os resultados destacam as possibilidades dos sujeitos da EJA de buscar novas formas de utilizar as TICs, no processo de ensino-aprendizagem, a efetivação das rodas de conversas, dos temas geradores como fundantes do empoderamento e da construção do conhecimento dos sujeitos. Concluímos que à escola deva repensar seu tempo, espaço e as experiências de ensinar e aprender, da formação continuada dos professores, da criação de um museu virtual de aprendizagem e da construção de práticas dialógicas permanentes no âmbito da escola da EJA.
Beginning in the 2000s, active methodologies began to emerge in some medical schools, evolving from the traditional teaching methodology to the use of methodologies, such as team-based learning (TBL), in which the student acts as the protagonist of his learning. In 2020, with the outbreak of a pandemic that required measures of social distance, a new reality emerged in the educational field, which was the adaptation of strategies traditionally carried out in person for the online format. The purpose of this article was to structure and execute a TBL design, based on the principles of online distance education and the use of technologies. The article presents a brief review of the TBL methodology and the design of the strategy in the online format, with a roadmap to adapt the execution on known platforms and available for online use. The article also presents reports of the utilization of TBL online through the Moddle platform in the first semester of the fourth year of a medical school course. In a second semester of the first year of a Psychology course and in a pharmacology graduate course for a nursing class, the Team-based learning was conducted by Microsoft’s platform. It is worth mentioning that for Moddle, the questionnaires to guarantee preparation and response in groups were carried out on the platform itself, while for TEAMS, the questionnaires were carried out through another platform, Socrative, which proved to be agile and compatible. We conclude that the TBL methodology is perfectly feasible in the distance modality, presenting significant learning, but some difficulties are observed, such as the need for a safe and efficient internet network, as well as the dependence on the student’s and teacher’s digital knowledge.
The complexities of computer-mediated communication (CMC) are visible in the diversity of the theoretical models that try to explain the implications of electronic communication. The different approaches are not necessarily contradictory, but they emphasize different qualities or characteristics of CMC. In this chapter we review six of the most prominent models: the Social Presence Model; the Media Richness Theory; the Reduced Social Cues model; the Social Information Processing Model; the Social Identity Model and the Hyperpersonal Communication Theory. Initial studies on CMC tend to view this form of communication as impersonal and very limited in expressing emotions and complex social interactions. However, recent research has shown that electronic communication can promote a very rich relational communication and be effective in problem solving situations, in attaining results and in achieving objectives in tasks performed at a distance. The understanding of these communication processes involves a detailed analysis of several variables, such as group communication processes, the different use of verbal and non-verbal communication channels in face to face and virtual settings, and the social construction of the processes of connecting, bonding and building psychological immediacy in mediated contexts. The studies show that in several indicators of group well-being or in task efficacy indicators, better results are obtained in virtual groups, when compared to their face to face equivalents, as long as the time variable is controlled. A relevant aspect to take into account is that virtual groups take more time to socialize and to reach objectives than do face to face groups. In this chapter we discuss some explanatory hypotheses for these somewhat surprising results and analyze their consequences in terms of online education. We suggest that we now have a reasonable understanding of online communication and interaction processes, and that this knowledge should shape the practices of those who work in Online Education and Distance Education.Request access from your librarian to read this chapter's full text.
As mudanças a que assistimos na sociedade contemporânea, nomeadamente no que diz respeito à criação, gestão e disseminação do conhecimento, conduzem-nos cada vez mais para um mundo de informação colectiva, partilhada e colaborativa. Nesse contexto, os Recursos Educacionais Abertos (REAs) e as Práticas Educacionais Abertas (PEAs) constituem-se como dimensões fundamentais da chamada Educação Aberta, com a qual se pretende promover uma sociedad e mais equitativa onde a Educação seja mais livre e acessível para todos. Nesse quadro, centramo-nos neste artigo na questão da produção de Livros Abertos. São comparadas duas plataformas, a “OpenStax Connexion” e a “Wikilivros”, com o objetivo de identificar as vantagens e as desvantagens de cada uma delas como plataforma de produção de Livros Abertos que possam constituir-se como REAs e como apoio a Práticas Educacionais Abertas. Analisamos em pormenor cada uma das plataformas referidas e apresentamos, através de uma grelha comparativa, os resultados dessa análise, com indicadores que nos possibilitam fazer opções quanto à plataforma que melhor serve os propósitos de criação de REAs e de PEAs.
