Correlacionando habilidades cognitivas às atividades do Moodle a luz da teoria da complexidade

Abstract

Identificar habilidades de estudantes em ambientes virtuais de aprendizagem (AVA) é um tema relevante na área de Informática na Educação. Neste artigo mapeamos habilidades cognitivas, considerando aquelas da teoria do sujeito complexo aderente ao contexto educacional, visando identificá-las em atividades do Moodle. Tal mapeamento considerou as descrições das características do sujeito complexo (CSC), os objetivos educacionais de cada atividade e as ações pedagógicas que possam promover as habilidades supracitadas. Este mapeamento poderá ser utilizado para guiar o processo de aprendizagem no AVA, utilizando atividades pedagógicas que estimulem as habilidades cognitivas de alta ordem, favorecendo o desenvolvimento do pensamento computacional.

Validating the process for labeling Moodle activities according to Complex thinking theory

“…This work is an extension of the labeling proposed by [Oliveira et al 2022], whose basis was only the definitions of the complex subject, descriptions of Moodle's activities, and Maissiat's work. As this task contains a high subjectivity factor, this work extends and improves the labeling process, since it considers 30 educators (specialists) whose Moodle's experience ranged from 2 to 15 years.…”

“…This diversity reflected the complexity and scope of Distance Education and demonstrated the quality of experts to describe the relationship between Moodle's activities and the complex subject. Firstly, the educators labeled the most used Moodle activities by following the methodology from [Oliveira et al 2022]. After, a statistical analysis and clustering aggregated their opinions in reliable labeling.…”

“…After, a statistical analysis and clustering aggregated their opinions in reliable labeling. [Oliveira et al 2022] proposed a guide for the labeling process which consisted of definitions of the Moodle activities and the complex subject, as well as the correlation between the characteristics of the complex subject and the pedagogical actions from [Maissiat 2013] (Table 1). Moreover, it was considered that an individual with knowledge assumes the role of a specialist [Lindsey et al 2014] to label a certain activity on that subject .…”

“…Moreover, [Maissiat 2013] proposed a set of pedagogical actions and linked them to the complex subject. Maissiat's conclusions inspired the initial labeling of Moodle activities [Oliveira et al 2022].…”

“…The main contribution of this article is to evaluate the labeling of activities according to the mentioned method, by means of statistics and clustering techniques to find congruences among the specialists and [Oliveira et al 2022]. A Google Form 1 was applied to the thirty educators (specialists), which was composed of the activities' descriptions, characteristics' definitions, Table 1, and the following question for each activity Considering the <activity name> description, select one or more labels, in order of priority, that you believe present the characteristic(s).Before answering the form, the respondents knew the above process since it was driving the answers.…”
