Flowing in the Game

Ricardo Barbosa Bitencourt — 2024-03-19

Innovation in education has been widely discussed and questioned. During the COVID-19 pandemic, distance learning has become an urgent necessity, highlighting the importance of digital education, particularly when social distancing is essential for saving lives. However, the inequality in access to educational technologies in Brazil exposes the difficulties faced by many students, demonstrating that simply having access to technology does not guarantee a significant improvement in teaching and learning processes. Given this scenario, it is crucial to promote a debate on strategies that can be used both in online and offline environments, providing educators with a solid foundation to enhance their pedagogical practices. One such strategy is gamification, which involves the use of game elements in non-playful contexts to engage students in the learning process. Gamification holds potential for creating an "optimal" learning experience, especially at a time when rethinking the school routine is necessary.

Marcos Fernandes Sobrinho — 2024-03-19

The use of mobile technologies has become increasingly present in people's daily lives, exerting a significant influence on forms of behavior and information consumption. They are often the subject of debates about their integration into didactic-pedagogical contexts in school institutions, since they exert pressure for changes in the teaching model, aiming to improve the quality of education. In this sense, with this work we seek to expose results of a bibliographic investigation of the "state of the art" type and of a qualitative nature, with the objective of identifying, selecting and discussing data from professional master's dissertations that resulted, as educational products, in the development of mobile applications aimed at basic level mathematics education, having as a time frame research completed from 2010 until the end of 2022. The question that guides this research is the following: what is the incidence of the production of mobile applications as educational objects in the context of Professional Masters?. Data collection was carried out in the repositories of the Catalog of Theses and Dissertations of the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES) and the Portal of Educational Products and Objects (eduCAPES) in which descriptors were used combined with the Boolean operator “AND”. The returned results allowed us to select four academic productions and their educational products framed in criteria that value the objective of this work and within the theme addressed. Despite the strong discussion about the use of mobile technologies in education, the productions are still few, within the scope of professional master's degrees, and lacking in consistency and methodological refinement, revealing that there is a need to develop more studies that explore this field of knowledge.

Qualitative Evaluation of Menu Preparations of a University Restaurant in the Interior Of Goiás

Graciele Cristina Silva Leão — 2024-03-19

Preparations of a lunch menu at a university restaurant in the state of Goiás were qualitatively evaluated. Preparations of 169 days were evaluated using the Qualitative Evaluation of Menu Preparations (QEMP) method and classified according to positive and negative aspects. For positive and negative aspects, those that were classified as “excellent” were the absence of frying-based preparations (100%), the presence of fruits and leafy vegetables (94%), the offer of fatty meats 9% of the days, sweets in 1% of the days, the absence of sweets associated with fried foods and offer of brown rice and vegetarian option with 100% occurrence for both. The association between acidic juice and acidic fruit and preserves in the salad appeared on 14% of the days, classified as “good”, while preparations with the same colors were present on 33% of the days, classified as “regular”. The supply of foods rich in sulfur (71%) and carbohydrate-based garnishes (53%) were classified as “bad”. And the presence of regional foods was the only one classified as “terrible”, with presence in 8% of the days. The large offer of fruits, leafy vegetables, brown rice, vegetarian option concomitant with the low occurrence of sweets, fried foods and acidic juices associated with acidic fruits point to an excellent quality of menu. However, the results regarding the appearance foods of same color, rich in sulfur, fatty meats, regional foods and carbohydrate-based preparations reveal the weaknesses of the menu offered, requiring a review of these aspects, in order to better serve diners.

The Flipped Classroom Methodology in the Teaching of Genetics in a Brazilian Public School

Ludmila Pereira do Nacimento — 2024-03-19

The objective of the present study was to apply the Flipped Classroom Methodology (FCM) to teach Genetics in the senior year of a public high school, and to evaluate its effectiveness according to the performance of its students. Two didactic sequences were applied: one called Traditional Classroom (TC) and the other Flipped Classroom (FC). The students who were taught through FC dedicated more time to their studies, presenting greater ease to learn the contents. Some reported difficulty managing study time due to balancing study and work, and they had significantly higher scores than the students of the TC. We concluded that the FCM is effective in teaching genetics. However, the reality of many high school students from public schools includes the need to work to complement the family income, which can become an obstacle for the students’ full development and motivation through this methodology.

Imbrications Between External Evaluations and Basic Education Quality

Lilian Silva de Carvalho — 2024-03-19

External evaluations, elaborated by the Brazilian Ministry of Education, have been applied over the last 30 years with the announced objective of collecting and analyzing data related to students’ performance and school dropout. With the advancement of both the scope and the capillarity of these evaluations, the data they produced began to guide public policies and actions of accountability in education, in addition to serving as instruments for regulating curricula and school management and as indicators of the quality of education offered. Thus, the objective of this article is to analyze the imbrications between external evaluations and quality of education, in a sample of 18 articles from the Brazilian Journal of Education Policy and Administration, in the period between 2000 and 2019. It represents part of a qualitative, documentary research, which had content analysis as a method. The results show that external evaluations can contribute to quality education, if their results are analyzed in conjunction with other indicators, internal and external to schools, favoring a school administration built on the communicative rationality that structures education for criticality, justice and social emancipation.

A Proposal for Teaching of ENEM Essay in A Virtual Learning Environment

Carla Aparecida Nunes de Souza — 2024-03-19

The context of the pandemic caused by Covid-19 demanded that the educational system, including the brazilian one, incorporate digital information and communication technologies (TDICs) into its daily life. It also demanded that teachers and students develop skills, digital literacies, for the effectiveness of this new teaching process. Thus, this article aims to present the digital literacies that are present in a teaching proposal aimed at working with the textual production of the ENEM essay. The study, with a sociointeractionist theoretical-methodological basis, considered a didactic sequence of genres (DSG) developed and hosted in a virtual learning environment (VLE). The results indicate that there are many digital literacies required in a teaching of textual genres when it occurs in the VLE. They also reveal the need for further studies on the subject, especially for understanding the relationship between the choice of moodle tools and the digital literacies developed in a teaching process.

Brazilian Chronicle and Photography in Contexts of Creative Writing Development:

Pedro Verdejo — 2024-03-19

The objective of this work is a critical-analytical investigation of an intervention project applied in a public school in Goiânia, whose objective was to promote creative writing practices dimensioned according to social aspects and in appreciation of the reality-world experience of the students, in accordance with the terms established by Franchi (1991). In this sense, the Brazilian Chronicle, understood as a social genre, was used in a multimedia interface with photography in order to structure an interventional proposition that, in addition to mobilizing linguistic knowledge in its pragmatic use, would provide potential for critical and autonomous expression in school contexts. Additionally to creative production, the social circulation of the produced texts was also promoted as the last stage of intervention, avoiding the practice of “school simulation”, in which the texts are produced as a mere internal exercise. The resulting analysis from this intervention process, which was the core of this work, indicates an important consideration of creative writing practices in the constitution of a critical language teaching. The effect of acquiring linguistic knowledge – such as the use of figures of speech – and theoretical-literary knowledge – such as the aesthetic mediation of literature in relation to the world – proved not only effective from the school “content-oriented” point of view, but also highly emancipatory in terms of educational background.

Luiz Fernando Nunes Rocha — 2024-03-19

. This article aims to analyse the Brazilian scientific production on interdisciplinarity related to secondary technical professional education in the first decade of the 21st century, the same period of the first legislation that addressed the theme in the country. This research is of an exploratory nature, with a bibliographic analysis of a qualitative and quantitative basis and of a basic nature, through the survey and selection of theses and dissertations using the search portal of the Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (BDTD). It was identified that the surveys were carried out in different Postgraduate Programs and Institutions concentrated in the Southeast region, most of which are public. Interdisciplinarity was addressed in different topics such as: teaching methods; interdisciplinary projects; interactions between different disciplines; PPCs; among others. Most of the works addressed interdisciplinarity based on the conception of the philosophy of the subject, in the same way that the most cited authors in the studies are affiliated with such conception, however, superficially in a significant part of the research. In addition, a hybridity was found between the two conceptions – philosophy of the subject and criticism – of interdisciplinarity and the perspective of curricular integration.

Arlindo Gomes de Macêdo Junior — 2024-03-19

The focus of this technological prospection is to carry out an evaluation of patents and computer programs aimed at basic education, along the lines of the National Common Curricular Base (BNCC) and that allow interactive teaching-learning between legal guardians, students and teachers. In the methodological approach, a bibliographical review was carried out in scientific articles and the use of technological prospecting methods in the search for anteriority and similarity, aiming to cover nationally and internationally, in the patent databases and computer programs of the European Patent Office (ESPACENET), World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) and the National Institute of Intellectual Property (INPI), with the use of Boolean descriptors and operators. The systematization analyzed the pertinence with the theme, excluding patents without relevance with the filters performed, patents repeated in the databases and those that do not have a deposit record. Thus, this work aimed to observe the gaps regarding the registration of patents and computer programs in official bodies on systems and applications intended for the educational area, assisting in decision-making with the mapping of existing technologies deposited in official bodies and encouraging for the improvement and development of education. The results obtained showed a constant growth in the number of patents granted over the years, with the largest domain of specific deposits for the basic education area of China (68.75%), which reflects being the country that presents the best index in PISA 2018 (Program for International Student Assessment). On the other hand, Brazil, which has the second highest number of patents granted (6.73%), either by patents or by computer programs, after data mining, is in 53rd place in the PISA 2018 evaluation. In this way it was also possible to observe a gap between the TMDICs that allow interaction in collaborative activities between students, teachers, and legal guardians in the process of meaningful learning. In this way, the need for more encouragement for TMDICs, public educational policies and the effective participation of society and family in school units, especially in public schools, is demonstrated.

Furthermore, there is software that carries out the study of the feasibility of implementing a wind farm and hydrogen production, called Homer Pro. Therefore, this work aims to analyze articles related to wind energy, hydrogen, the Homer Pro software, and the Weibull distribution to understand how research is developing in this promising area. To do this, a search was carried out in the Scopus database, considering some keywords and then an analysis of this set of data found using the Bibliometrix tool was carried out. The objective of this work is to identify the evolution of the topic and show Brazil's position.

Solutions to Enable the Use of TIC in Education in Regions with Low Internet Connectivity:

Flavia Linhalis — 2024-03-19

The lack of Internet access increases the digital divide in the educational sector of developing countries, specifically in vulnerable and remote areas. In this article, a literature review was conducted to identify and to characterize LMS solutions adopted in regions with low Internet connectivity to leverage ICT integration in education. What are the LMS solutions to make the use of ICT in education feasible in regions with low Internet connectivity? Results found that, the Moodle app is the only solution that considers social isolation and can be used in distance education, in asynchronous activities, where there is no stable Internet.
