Purpose – Outsourcing-based performance practices establish goals for supplier performance and compensation. The management of contracts based on performance is complex as is the alignment of long-term relationship and indicators. The purpose of this research is to analyse the practices that contracting companies utilise to manage outsourcing contracts with performance-based compensation. Design/methodology/approach – Multiple case studies were conducted with five contracting companies. Nine performance-based outsourcing contracts were analysed. Findings – The selection and evaluation processes have been neglected by the buyers associated with contracts that are over ten years old. The process of transferring activities relied on the knowledge of employees. Management practices based on indicators and the adoption of results-based compensation are commonplace in a number of contracts and are consistent with theory. Originality/value – This paper identifies management practices that differ between what is expected from the theoretical framework and what is observed in the actual examined contracts. Opportunities for improvement have been identified mainly in the areas of supplier selection and activity transfer; the use of pilot tests and the reengineering of the outsourced processes are suggested.
ResumoO ensino de Ciências é permeado por conteúdos científicos abstratos e complexos ao entendimento dos alunos. Surge então a necessidade do professor ministrar aulas mais interessantes e motivadoras, buscando alternativas para proporcionar experiências de aprendizagem que sejam mais contemporâneas e assimiláveis para os alunos. Esta pesquisa objetivou analisar como o uso de um jogo didático pode auxiliar no processo de ensino e aprendizagem de Ciências, no conteúdo de química atmosférica, do 9° ano do Ensino Fundamental. Também verificamos a opinião dos estudantes com relação à atividade proposta. Comparando as respostas dos testes, percebemos uma maior apreensão do conteúdo no período pós-teste, demonstrando que a metodologia auxiliou na aprendizagem dos conceitos da química atmosférica, mesmo que alguns estudantes não tenham alcançado plenamente os objetivos propostos.
Contemporary pedagogical practices have undergone restructuring and paradigm shifts; in this scenario, hybrid teaching emerged, which has as one of its modalities the flipped classroom. This study, of a mixed and exploratory nature, the objective was to investigate the impact of the flipped classroom on academic performance in human anatomy and the students' perceptions of this methodology in their teaching and learning in this discipline. Participants were human anatomy students from health courses at a private university in the metropolitan region of Porto Alegre/RS. A didactic intervention was carried out through the flipped classroom methodology, including the study of the urinary and reproductive systems, where the previous material was made available through two digital hypertexts and in the classroom, digital albums were built. Data were collected through pre and post-test questionnaires, with open questions or Likert scale and analyzed through response scores and content analysis. Participants demonstrated better post-test performance by providing more insight into related content. As for the perceptions, they highlighted the contribution of the flipped classroom to their learning and emphasized as their main positive points their contribution to learning, understanding and memorization, as well as allowing greater interaction and cooperation among colleagues. The most salient negative points were the lack of teacher exposure and the permanence of doubts.
O ensino de um modo geral tem sofrido inúmeras modificações ao longo dos últimos anos, principalmente em decorrência da introdução massiva do uso das tecnologias digitais no cotidiano das pessoas. Isto levou as instituições de ensino a criarem situações que incorporem essas tecnologias no proceso de ensino e aprendizagem. Nesse contexto, o objetivo desse trabalho é discutir a importância de abordar a inserção das tecnologias digitais no ensino. A utilização das TD nas aulas podem auxiliar os pofessores a tornar o ensino mais contemporâneo e interesante, e fazendo com que os alunos sejam mais responsáveis pelo seu proceso de ensino e aprendizagem.
Os altos índices de evasão preocupam docentes e gestores da Educação a Distância. Existem iniciativas para mitigação desta situação, como a Mineração de Dados Educacionais (MDE) e o uso de Sistemas de Recomendação (SR). Apesar de efetivas em aspectos específicos, estas técnicas carecem de mecanismos para motivação dos alunos. Diante disso, esse artigo descreve um modelo de SR que apresenta como diferencial a integração de Metodologias Ativas com MDE para mitigar os riscos de evasão e potencializar a permanência dos alunos. Foi implementado um protótipo e realizada a avaliação de funcionalidade e aceitação. De acordo com o modelo TAM, mais de 87% dos docentes concordam com a facilidade de uso e 77% concordam que o SR pode ser útil no processo de ensino e aprendizagem dos alunos.
