This study proposes a conceptual model for a virtual environment that mediates lesson planning activities in high school education. In today’s online society, we frequently encounter innovative digital products and services that leverage advances in Information and Communication Technology (ICT). The main objective is to explore teachers’ needs and the possibilities offered by current technologies to enhance pe...
Given the increasing adoption of Digital Information and Communication Technologies (DICTs) in teaching practices, it is observed that there are still practices that do not fully benefit from the culture of sharing and reusing Digital Educational Resources (DERs) available on the internet. In this study, a new repository integrated into a lesson planning support platform was developed and evaluated. To assess t...
Basic education teachers carry out routine activities to develop evaluative exercises. In High School, this task must be aligned with entrance exams. Such practice generally demands recurrent research and intensive question selection. In this sense, this study presents the design of a semi-automatic system approach for extracting Enem questions available in internet repositories. The methodology employed web sc...
Anticipating the tutoring needs in online learning is essential to provide adequate support to students. Feedback and even silence are valuable clues to reveal the level of engagement. Approaches based on Artificial Intelligence (AI) can process this information and alleviate the workload of human tutors. In this study, Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques were used to assess the performance of classify...
This study aims to capture evidence on the effectiveness of emergency remote learning mediated by educational technology according to the interaction levels of K-12 students. The study involved students from a public institution that adopted emergency remote learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. From a mixed approach that used quantitative and qualitative methods, data from 963 students were collected and anal...
As a consequence of technological advances, the number of devices has increased, with the emergence of different smartphones, tablets, and smartwatches present in both personal and professional activities. As a result, mobile applications have been developed, and with them comes the need for techniques and methods that provide support for conducting evaluation and prototyping since the current approaches are li...
Interactive systems on mobile platforms have characteristics that cause the emergence of challenges in design, development and use. They can be observed in the design processes, particularly in the prototyping and evaluation phases of the design and interaction of mobile applications. While design approaches and paradigms are flexible, the design process needs to be consolidated to meet the potential and divers...
Critical thinking is a necessary skill for teachers working at different levels of education, as it integrates accreditation standards. Despite recognizing critical ways of thinking about theory and reality, it is complex to identify the development of thinking in the virtual landscape. The general objective of this study was to reflect on didactic strategies used by teachers to develop critical thinking in asy...
Collaboration allows teachers to interact with regularity, specificity, and depth in order to create new dynamics and understandings on teaching. Teachers orchestrate the central elements surrounding the goals that need to be achieved in the classroom performance, the objectives, and the purpose of the lesson plan. Thus, the aim of this study is to investigate the perceptions of teachers regarding the prototype...
In the information systems area, besides the problem of involvement, students often have difficulties learning in course units such as Requirements Engineering, namely in identifying and writing requirements and specifying the new information system based on requirements identified. The reasons for these difficulties are well known and described in the literature, referring to critical thinking/problem-solving,...
