Considerações sobre Aplicação do Método de Avaliação de Comunicabilidade ao domínio educacional

The increasing use of technology in the classroom brings new challenges to the design and evaluation of educational systems and their interfaces. Among these challenges, there is a need to assess how much the system supports learning. In this work, we investigated the applicability of the Communicability Evaluation Method (CEM) in learning support systems. This method is proposed by the Semiotic Engineering theory and involves the participation of users. By applying CEM to the evaluation of educational systems, we have identified specific considerations that should be taken into account when applying this method to the educational domain. By doing so it was possible to identify not only interface problems, but also problems related to the content or students' learning.
