Cette thèse défend l’intérêt d’appliquer une démarche d’analyse exploratoire de données spatiales pour examiner un phénomène complexe irréductible, dans un contexte limité en données : le paludisme-infection à Dakar. Chaque partie du système pathogène du paludisme est nécessaire mais non suffisante au fonctionnement du système. Il n’y a paludisme-infection que lorsque les trois composantes sont en contact : le parasite, le vecteur et l’hôte humain. La recherche des lieux où ces contacts peuvent s’opérer facilement est donc primordiale dans la lutte contre le paludisme et l’amélioration des programmes visant à la diminution voire l’élimination de la maladie. L’analyse exploratoire, encore très peu appliquée dans les pays dits du Sud, se définit ainsi comme une démarche de recherche mais aussi comme un moyen d’apporter des réponses aux besoins sanitaires. Elle pousse à l’observation, sous différents angles, des déterminants sociaux qui sont impliqués dans la réalisation du phénomène, tout comme à l’examen des interactions existantes entre eux. Nous avons récolté des informations quantitatives variées, en lien direct et indirect avec l’étude du paludisme. Interprétation d’images satellites, données censitaires, résultats d’enquêtes sociales et sanitaires ont été intégrées dans un système d’information géographique pour décrire la ville et ses habitants. Le croisement de ces sources a permis d’étudier les faces spatiales du risque épidémique palustre. Le recours à des analyses statistiques et géostatistiques, bivariées et multivariées, a permis de souligner que le risque d’infection des populations dépendait fortement d’une distance, que l’on a qualifié de sociale. / This thesis applies an Exploratory Spatial Data Analysis (ESDA) approach to study a complex phenomenon in a data scarce environment: malaria infection in Dakar. Each component of the malaria pathogenic system is necessary but not sufficient to result in an infection when acting in isolation. For malaria infection to occur, three components need to interact: the parasite, the vector, and the human host. The identification of areas where these three components can easily interact is therefore essential in the fight against malaria and the improvement of programs for the prevention and control or elimination of the disease. ESDA, still rarely applied in developing countries, is thus defined as a research approach but also as a way to provide answers to global health challenges. It leads to observation, from different angles, on the social and spatial determinants of malaria infection, as well as the examination of existing interactions between its three components. Several streams of quantitative information were collected, both directly and indirectly related to the study of malaria. More specifically, multi-temporal satellite imagery, census data, and results from social and health surveys have been integrated into a Geographic Information System (GIS) to describe the city and its inhabitants. Combining these datasets has enabled to study the spatial variability of the risk of malaria infection.

Aujourd’hui, la pédagogie des échanges à distance, s’appuyant sur la communication médiée par les outils numériques, permet de porter un regard nouveau sur les capacités des jeunes apprenants possédant un bagage minimal de la langue cible à interagir à distance avec des locuteurs de la langue partenaire. Inscrite dans un cadre socioconstructiviste et interactionniste, la thèse questionne le potentiel que représentent des projets d’échanges s’élaborant en fonction des personnes et des moyens à disposition. Elle s’appuie sur l’observation de quatre partenariats franco-britanniques initiant un projet sur une année scolaire à l’école élémentaire. Elle cible l’apprentissage de l’anglais (et du français sur le principe de la réciprocité des échanges). Elle cherche à identifier les conceptions et intentions initiales des acteurs. Nous observons sur le terrain ce qui se construit à partir des activités conjointes des enseignants et des élèves (collecte de données à partir de dispositifs variés entrant dans le protocole d’une recherche-action). L’analyse s’effectue à partir de deux hypothèses principales, l’une dirigée vers la dimension sociale des échanges et l’autre vers les effets sur l’apprentissage linguistique. La prise en charge des apprenants de leur apprentissage, la diversité des productions et des aptitudes langagières concernées, la cohérence des activités avec le lien social qui s’instaure ou la présence d’une réflexion métacognitive et métalinguistique sont au nombre des caractéristiques des projets étudiés. Elles conduisent à une réflexion sur l’action et l’apprentissage situé propres à favoriser la collaboration et l’autonomisation. / Today, the pedagogy of distance exchange projects based on mediated digital communication tools allows new insights into the ability of young learners with minimal competence in the target language to interact at a distance with young speakers of that language. Situated within a social constructivist and interactionist framework, the study investigates the potential of exchange projects and how they develop according to the people and resources available. Based on observations of four Franco-British partnership projects undertaken in upper primary school (ages 7-10) over one year, it investigates pupils’ learning of English or French through reciprocal exchange projects. It also seeks to identify the participants’ initial project designs and intentions (through questionnaires and interviews). The results of what transpires through the joint activities of teachers and students are examined (various data collection means were employed according to action research protocol). The data analysis follows two main hypotheses: one directed towards the social dimension of (student) exchanges and the other towards the impact on language learning. Organizational variables, as well as technical-educational, psychological and institutional variables are thus examined. Numerous characteristics of the projects observed emerged including: pupils’ taking responsibility for their learning, diversity of language production and language skills involved, coherence between the activities and the established social ties and evidence of metacognitive and metalinguistic reflection. These lead to consideration of the ways in which situated learn-ing and action foster collaboration and empowerment.

Pour peu que nous admettions les nouvelles recherches en didactique à l'université (Français sur Objectifs Universitaires et Enseignement à Distance) et les réformes pédagogiques visant le développement des niveaux des étudiants en langue française dans et hors des départements de français (Projet de Rénovation du Français et en Français dans l'Enseignement Supérieur), le français scientifique et technique dans les départements des cycles préparatoires serait susceptible de représenter un champ d'étude intéressant. Les étudiants de première année ont besoin de déterminer leurs objectifs universitaires en français pour définir le contenu des programmes d’apprentissage et des évaluations. En nous nous appuyant sur le Référentiel de compétences de français scientifique et technique (inspiré des principes du Cadre Européen Commun de Référence pour les Langues) et sur le cours de français scientifique et technique mis en ligne sur la plateforme MOODLE 2.4 de l'Université Virtuelle de Tunis, notre projet consiste à concevoir des modèles des évaluations des apprentissages adaptés à notre contexte. Les enquêtes ayant lieu en 2014 à l'Institut Préparatoire aux Etudes d'Ingénieurs de Sfax (I.P.E.I.S.) et à la Faculté des Sciences de Sfax (F.S.S.) avec les étudiants des quatre filières, les enseignants du module de français et les enseignants des matières enseignées en première année, nous ont amenée à penser à la contextualisation du portfolio d'apprentissage et du modèle de certification linguistique (Diplôme d'Etude en Langue Française du niveau B1) auquel nous empruntons la conception des évaluations sommatives / At the close of the new researches in didactics at university (French on university objectives and Remote Teaching) and educational reforms targeting the development of learners' level in French inside and outside French departments (Project of updating of French and in French in higher education),scientific and technical French in departments of preliminary courses is an interesting field of study. First-year students-those who passed the baccalaureate- need to know about their university aims in French so as to target the content of apprenticeship programmes and evaluation. Further to a conception of a system of reference of abilities of scientific and technical French (inspired from the principles of Common European Framework of Reference for Languages) and an online lesson of scientific and technical French on MOODLE 2.4 of Tunis Virtual University, we undertake in this thesis to design the models of apprenticeship assessments appropriate to our context. The 2014 investigations in Preparatory Institute for engineering Studies de Sfax and Faculty of Sciences of Sfax (with students of the four branches, French module instructors and the first-year subjects ’instructors) have led us to envisage the idea of the contextualization of apprenticeship portfolio and a model of linguistic certification (Study Diploma in French Language of B1 level) from which we get the conception of brief /summary assessments

Background: In the past decade, distance education enrollment has become more common in colleges and universities, increasing from 1.6 million students in 1998 to an estimated 6.7 million in 2012. The purpose of this study was to identify which constructs in Rogers' (2003) diffusion of innovation theory are more likely to contribute to adoption and diffusion of distance education in health education. Health education instructors and faculty can use the information obtained from the results of this study if they want to implement distance education. Methods: A quantitative, cross-sectional, descriptive, and correlational survey design was used in this study. An instrument designed to measure constructs and factors affecting the adoption and diffusion of distance education in health education were developed for the study. Health educators employed by health education departments listed in the AAHE (2011) Directory (N=498) were contacted by email and asked to participate in this study. The survey was distributed through SurveyMonkeyTM survey software that was activated December 2012 - January 2013. Results and Conclusions: A total of 245 health education faculty completed the instrument, but 21 participants were omitted because they did not complete at least 95% of the survey instrument. A total of 224 survey instruments were retained and included in the analysis, providing a 44.9% response rate. Based on the Pearsons correlation and multiple linear regression it can be concluded that the likelihood of distance education adoption by health education faculty is highly dependent on the communication channels and characteristics of the innovation (distance education) constructs of the diffusion of innovation theory. There was a large majority of participants in the early majority adopter category and this is because of two reasons. The first reason is that participants had not decided whether to accept or reject distance education. The other reason is that distance education is a relatively new innovation and it has not fully diffused through the health education profession. Experience with distance education was not shown to increase the likelihood of distance education adoption because the majority of participants have not yet decided whether to accept or reject distance education. The social system construct was the least predictive of distance education adoption. If distance education has not yet fully diffused through the health education profession then it is hard for the social system to impact the likelihood of distance education adoption.

AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF ROHIT JOGINEEDI, for the Master of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering and Processes, presented on 11/06/2017, at Southern Illinois University Carbondale. TITLE: DEVELOPMENT OF COMPARATIVE WEAR TEST FOR ASTM G75 STANDARD MAJOR PROFESSOR: Dr. Peter Filip Industries related to tribology field invest huge amounts in testing products they handle. Most of their budget goes into running tests on corresponding friction, wear or lubrication testing instruments. These tests are observed to be consuming more time with an increase in operational costs. This gained importance among industries for developing economical testing methods designed to run on one or more machines to study tribological conditions. As friction and wear are system properties, change in system variables like distance, velocity, time and area can have notable impact on those properties. This paper discusses about various approaches to develop comparative test on sub scale testers for ASTM G75 standard. Scaling Laws of Physics and comparison of wear mode are two approaches used in this paper to justify the comparative test developed for ASTM G75 on a bench top tester developed by Bruker. Results from the ASTM G75 standard and the UMT are compared and concluded that scaling strategies cannot be used to replicate the standard test methods on sub scale testers but comparison of wear mode could help. This proposed comparative test for ASTM G75 is observed to have lower operational costs thereby decreasing the amount of investment on testing friction or wear products in an industry.

A compressão do tempo-espaço ocasionada pelas novas tecnologias da informação e comunicação somada à constante necessidade de especialização gerada pelo mundo do trabalho têm feito com que antigas demandas populacionais pressionem cada vez mais o sistema público de ensino em busca de aperfeiçoamento. O sistema educacional, por sua vez, é pressionado para atender Sujeitos com necessidades diferentes e em tempos diversos. Neste cenário, a educação a distância (EAD) tem sido resgatada como uma importante aliada na tarefa de democratizar o acesso à educação. Além de outras ferramentas, a EAD tem feito uso intensivo dos audiovisuais como forma de potencializar a compreensão da mensagem, principalmente quando os Sujeitos do processo educativo estão separados fisicamente. Neste sentido, num contexto povoado pelas mídias, especialmente pela emergência de novos formatos digitais, o audiovisual adquire especial importância porque permite uma leitura diferenciada do mundo, além de seu potencial de abrangência que não pode ser ignorado. Verificase, no entanto, uma lacuna no que se refere aos parâmetros de produção de materiais audiovisuais educativos. Os estilos de aprendizagem permitem dar relevo às diferenças individuais e nortear os usos dos materiais audiovisuais que sejam mais adequados, segundo as necessidades específicas dos alunos. Assim sendo, esta pesquisa teve como objetivo geral compreender os materiais audiovisuais educativos de acordo com os estilos de aprendizagem, indicando caminhos e estratégias de utilização.

The compression of space and time caused by new information and communication technologies coupled with the constant need for expertise demanded by the world of work has made population older demands pressure ever more the public school system in search of improvement. The educational system, in turn, is pressed to meet Subjects with different needs and at different times. In this scenario, distance education has been redeemed as an important ally in the task of democratizing access to education. Among other tools, the distance education has made intensive use of audiovisuals materials as a way to enhance the understanding of the message, especially when the Subjects of the educational process are physically separated. In this sense, in a context populated by the media, especially the emergence of new digital formats, the audiovisual part acquires special importance because it allows a different reading of the world, besides its coverage potential that can not be ignored. There is, however, a gap in relation to production parameters of audiovisual educational materials. Learning styles allow you to highlight individual differences and guide the use of audiovisual materials that are more suitable, according to the specific needs of students. Therefore, this study had as a general objective to understand the educational audiovisual materials according to learning styles, indicating paths and use strategies. Added to this, the fact that they can provide the development of less developed styles in students, expanding learning opportunities.Through the methodology of qualitative analysis and analysis of discordant...

Foi utilizado como instrumento de coleta de dados um questionÃrio semiestruturado, dividido em blocos temÃticos e aplicado por um Ãnico pesquisador, cujas informaÃÃes foram organizadas em um banco de dados no Epi Info e analisadas no programa estatÃstico Stata 11. A pesquisa foi aprovada pelo Comità de Ãtica em Pesquisa da UFC pelo protocolo N 44/12. Constatou-se que 42,4% dos alunos jà haviam realizado outros cursos na modalidade presencial, enquanto que apenas 2,1% afirmaram ter realizado cursos na modalidade semipresencial. Aproximadamente 98% dos entrevistados relataram que foi na graduaÃÃo em Odontologia sua primeira experiÃncia com disciplinas semipresenciais, especificamente com a utilizaÃÃo do SOLAR e 89,3% dos alunos afirmaram que o SOLAR favoreceu o processo de ensino-aprendizagem. à possÃvel afirmar, tambÃm, que 98,9% dos estudantes analisados possuem computador para realizar as atividades das disciplinas nesta modalidade, entretanto, aproximadamente 64% afirmaram que esse computador nÃo à de uso individual. O fÃrum foi considerado a ferramenta de interaÃÃo mais utilizada pelos alunos nas disciplinas semipresenciais e as ferramentas digitais que mais contribuÃram no processo de aprendizagem foram os textos de apoio com 41,5%, seguido do fÃrum de discussÃo com 31,9% e o portfÃlio com 19,1%. O uso do SOLAR na graduaÃÃo, em disciplinas semipresenciais, trouxe benefÃcios ao processo de ensino-aprendizagem, pois facilitou a construÃÃo do conhecimento atravÃs das ferramentas de interaÃÃo e comunicaÃÃo, contribuindo no desenvolvimento da autonomia do aluno. / The use of virtual learning environments proposes an adaptation of educational methodologies and has become increasingly common recently in Brazil. The objective of this research was to evaluate the Virtual Learning Environment SOLAR program according to the perception of the graduate students of the Dentistry course at UFC â Federal University of CearÃ. The participants were 94 students egress in the disciplines of Scientific Methodology applied to Dentistry I (1st semester), Public Health II (6th semester), Forensic Dentistry (7th semester), offered in the period 2012.1. A questionnaire was used as an instrument of data collection, whose information was organized in a database in Epi Info and analyzed using Stata 11. The study was approved by the Ethics in Research Protocol N  44/12. It was found that 42.4% of the students took courses in attendance, while only 2.1% said they had done courses in blended. Approximately 98% of respondents reported that was their first undergraduate dental experience with semipresential disciplines, specifically with the use of SOLAR and 89,3% of students stated that the SOLAR favored the teaching-learning process. Also it can be argued that 98.9% of students have studied computer to carry out the activities of the subjects in this mode, however approximately 64% stated that this computer is not for individual use. The forum was considered the interaction tool most used by students in the semi presential disciplines and digital tools that contributed most in the learning process were the handouts with 41.5%, followed by the discussion forum with 31.9% and the portfolio with 19.1%. Using the SOLAR graduation program, the semi presential disciplines brought benefits to the teaching and learning process, because as facilitated the construction of knowledge through the tools of interaction and communication, contributing in the development of learner autonomy.

O estudo teve como objetivo construir e validar quanto ao conteÃdo e aparÃncia uma hipermÃdia educativa sobre parto para a graduaÃÃo em Enfermagem. Para embasar o desenvolvimento deste estudo, adotou-se a Teoria da InteraÃÃo Social de Vygotsky, que ressalta que o conhecimento surge a partir da interaÃÃo social entre no mÃnimo duas pessoas e que isto torna o compartilhamento de conhecimentos possÃvel e facilitado. Tratou-se de uma pesquisa metodolÃgica. Para realizaÃÃo do estudo, seguiram-se as etapas: 1.levantamento do conteÃdo e planejamento dos mÃdulos; 2. produÃÃo das mÃdias e organizaÃÃo das unidades tutoriais; 3. organizaÃÃo do espaÃo do aluno, tutor e de comunicaÃÃo entre eles; 4. elaboraÃÃo da hipermÃdia; 5. disponibilizaÃÃo da hipermÃdia; 6. avaliaÃÃo por especialistas em Enfermagem e InformÃtica e implementaÃÃo das sugestÃes propostas. Realizou-se, inicialmente, o levantamento das produÃÃes cientÃficas que tratassem da temÃtica assistÃncia de enfermagem aos perÃodos clÃnicos do parto, tendo sido incluÃdos livros didÃticos da Ãrea de obstetrÃcia, manuais tÃcnicos do MinistÃrio da SaÃde do Brasil e da OrganizaÃÃo Mundial de SaÃde e trabalhos e artigos publicados em periÃdicos nacionais e internacionais. A hipermÃdia construÃda foi intitulada âAssistÃncia de Enfermagem aos perÃodos clÃnicos do partoâ, abordando os cuidados que o profissional de enfermagem deve ter durante o trabalho de parto e parto normal sem distÃcia. Na etapa de elaboraÃÃo da hipermÃdia, foram organizados os textos a partir das informaÃÃes levantadas na pesquisa bibliogrÃfica e consultada uma empresa especialista em informÃtica para desenvolver o website. Para a validaÃÃo de conteÃdo e aparÃncia, optou por fazer o cÃlculo amostral com base na fÃrmula de populaÃÃo infinita, sendo a amostra composta por 22 juÃzes, selecionados por meio de critÃrios prÃ-estabelecidos, sendo 11 juÃzes especialistas em Enfermagem obstÃtrica (avaliaÃÃo de conteÃdo) e 11 juÃzes especialistas em InformÃtica (avaliaÃÃo de aparÃncia). A construÃÃo e a validaÃÃo tÃcnica da hipermÃdia ocorreram no perÃodo de julho de 2014 a janeiro de 2015. Para a coleta de dados, foram utilizados dois instrumentos, um direcionado aos juÃzes especialistas em Enfermagem obstÃtrica e outro para os juÃzes especialistas em InformÃtica. Para a anÃlise da validaÃÃo da hipermÃdia foi utilizado o Ãndice de Validade de ConteÃdo (IVC), com ponto de corte de 0,78 e o teste binomial. As sugestÃes e opiniÃes foram compiladas e descritas. A hipermÃdia educativa mostrou-se como um material validado, visto que apresentou um Ãtimo IVC global de 0,97 e significÃncia estatÃstica no teste binomial para o conteÃdo e aparÃncia. Diante das sugestÃes e contribuiÃÃes durante o processo de validaÃÃo, a hipermÃdia passou por modificaÃÃes, ajustes e acrÃscimos a fim de tornÃ-la mais eficaz. Acredita-se que o uso deste material com alunos da graduaÃÃo de enfermagem contribuirà com a assistÃncia obstÃtrica, tendo em vista que se constitui em uma tecnologia ilustrada capaz de favorecer o ensino-aprendizagem sobre parto normal humanizado, bem como a qualidade da assistÃncia de enfermagem à parturiente. / The study aimed to construct and validate the contents and appearance in an educational hypermedia applying for undergraduate nursing. To support the development of this study, we adopted the Theory of Social Interaction Vygotsky, which emphasizes that knowledge arises from the social interaction between at least two people and this makes knowledge possible and sharing facilitated. It was a methodological research. This study was followed by some steps, which are: survey content and planning of the modules; production of media and organization of tutorials units; spatial organization of the student, tutor and communication between them; development of hypermedia; availability of hypermedia; reviewed by technical experts in Nursing and Informatics and implementation of the proposed suggestions. The survey of scientific production implemented initially was addressed by the theme nursing care to clinical parturition periods, including textbooks of obstetrics, technical manuals of the Ministry of Health of Brazil and the World Health Organisation, also works and articles published in national and international journals. The hypermedia constructed was entitled "Nursing Care to clinical parturition periods", addressing the care that nursing professionals should have during labor and vaginal parturition without distorting. The texts prepared in the hypermidia were organized from the information raised in the literature and consulted a computer specialist company to develop the website. For the validation of content and appearance was chosen sample calculation based on the infinite population formula. The sample is composed of 22 judges, selected through pre-established criteria, 11 expert judges in obstetric nursing and 11 expert computer specialists (assessment of content). The construction and technical validation of the hypermedia occurred from July 2014 to January 2015. For data collection was utilized two instruments, which are one directed to the expert judges in obstetric nursing and another one for specialist judges in Computer. For the analysis of validation of hypermedia, we used the Content Validity Index (CVI) with a cutoff point of 0.78 and the binomial test. The suggestions and opinions were compiled and discussed. The educational hypermedia proved to be a validated material, as presented a great global CVI 0.97 and statistically significant in the binomial test for content and appearance.The suggestions and contributions, which were given during the validation process contributed to hypermedia modifications, adjustments and additions to make it more effective. It is believed that the use of this material with students of nursing degree will contribute to obstetric care in order to constitutes an illustrated technology to facilitate the teaching and learning process of humanized normal birth, favoring the quality of nursing care for parturient.

CoordenaÃÃo de AperfeiÃoamento de Pessoal de NÃvel Superior / Este estudo teve como objetivo construir e validar uma hipermÃdia educacional que venha a favorecer o processo de ensino-aprendizagem referente à atuaÃÃo da enfermagem na realizaÃÃo da Consulta de Enfermagem GinecolÃgica. Como embasamento norteador para o desenvolvimento desse estudo, adotou-se a Teoria da InteraÃÃo Social de Vygotsky, que define a interaÃÃo social como a troca de informaÃÃes entre pelo menos duas pessoas, devendo ocorrer o sentido duplo entre essa interaÃÃo, ou seja, a reciprocidade entre os envolvidos, o que torna o compartilhamento de conhecimentos possÃvel e facilitado. Trata-se de um estudo de desenvolvimento, no qual foi construÃda e validada uma hipermÃdia educacional com uma abordagem acerca da Consulta de Enfermagem GinecolÃgica. A hipermÃdia foi desenvolvida no Ambiente Virtual de Aprendizagem (AVA) Solar, no perÃodo de janeiro a junho de 2011. Para a construÃÃo dessa hipermÃdia, foram seguidas seis etapas, dentre as quais as cinco primeiras compuseram a fase de construÃÃo da hipermÃdia e a sexta compÃs sua fase de validaÃÃo. O levantamento de conteÃdo e o planejamento dos mÃdulos constituÃram a primeira etapa. Nesta, buscou-se o conteÃdo relativo à realizaÃÃo da Consulta de Enfermagem GinecolÃgica em livros didÃticos, manuais do MinistÃrio da SaÃde e artigos cientÃficos disponÃveis em base de dados na internet. O conteÃdo foi organizado em mÃdulos, apontando as principais informaÃÃes acerca da Consulta de Enfermagem, do cÃncer cÃrvico-uterino, da Consulta de Enfermagem GinecolÃgica e os possÃveis diagnÃsticos e tratamentos. Na segunda etapa do estudo, foram desenvolvidas as mÃdias que compuseram a hipermÃdia, podendo ser composta de gravuras, vÃdeos, textos, dentre outros. Na terceira etapa do desenvolvimento dessa hipermÃdia, foram disponibilizados espaÃos de anotaÃÃes, denominados portfÃlios, para o aluno e o tutor, bem como ferramentas de comunicaÃÃo entre eles, tais como fÃruns de discussÃo e chat, buscando desenvolver uma maior interaÃÃo social entre os participantes desse processo de ensino-aprendizagem. Terminadas as trÃs etapas anteriores â o conteÃdo, as mÃdias e os espaÃos de anotaÃÃes e comunicaÃÃo â os itens produzidos foram disponibilizados no AVA SOLAR. Dando continuidade ao processo de construÃÃo da hipermÃdia, realizou-se o processo de validaÃÃo do material produzido. No processo de validaÃÃo, foram convidados, de acordo com critÃrios prÃ-estabelecidos, quatro especialistas de enfermagem e quatro de informÃtica para avaliar a hipermÃdia, quando foram identificados os pontos de ajuste necessÃrios para uma melhor utilizaÃÃo da hipermÃdia. Quanto à construÃÃo desse produto, constatou-se que as etapas seguidas foram consideradas satisfatÃrias, de forma que foi possÃvel construir um produto educacional apto a favorecer o processo de ensino-aprendizagem com relaÃÃo à temÃtica da Consulta de Enfermagem GinecolÃgica. Quanto à validaÃÃo desse material, hà pontos de ajustes que foram considerados e corrigidos, e outros que foram satisfatoriamente contemplados e ressaltados pelos especialistas que participaram do estudo. Realizadas as modificaÃÃes solicitadas, denotou-se a validaÃÃo dessa hipermÃdia junto a especialistas, estando apta para a utilizaÃÃo junto ao pÃblico-alvo para o qual foi construÃda. / This study aimed to construct and validate an educational hypermedia that will facilitate the teaching-learning process concerning the nursing activities in realizing the Gynecologic Nursing Consultation. As a guiding base for the development of this study, we adopted the Theory of Social Interaction of Vygotsky, who defines social interaction as the exchange of information between at least two people should experience the double meaning of this interaction, ie, reciprocity between those involved, which makes knowledge sharing possible and easier. This is a development study, which was constructed and validated an approach to educational hypermedia on the Gynecologic Nursing Consultation. Hypermedia was developed in the Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) Solar, the period from January to June 2011. For the construction of hypermedia, six steps were followed, among which the first five comprised the construction phase of hypermedia composed his sixth and validation phase. The survey content and design of the modules were the first step. In this, we sought to content on the implementation of Gynecologic Nursing Consultation in textbooks, manuals and the Ministry of Health papers available in the database on the Internet. The content was organized in modules, pointing out key information about the Nursing Consultation of cervical cancer, the Gynecologic Nursing Consultation and possible diagnoses and treatments. In the second stage of the study, the media were developed that made hypermedia, and may be composed of pictures, videos, texts, among others. In the third stage of the development of hypermedia annotations were available spaces, called portfolios, for the student and tutor, as well as tools of communication between them, such as discussion forums and chat, to develop greater social interaction among the participants of this process teaching and learning. Finished the previous three steps - the content, media and communication spaces and notes - the items produced were available on the AVA SOLAR. Continuing the process of construction of hypermedia, we carried out the validation process of the material produced. In the validation process were invited, according to predetermined criteria, four experts and four nursing informatics to evaluate hypermedia, were identified when the set points needed for a better use of hypermedia. As for the construction of this product, it was found that the steps taken were satisfactory, so that it was possible to build an educational product able to promote the teaching-learning process with respect to the issue of Gynecologic Nursing Consultation. Regarding the validation of this material, there are points of adjustments that were considered and corrected, and others who have been satisfactorily addressed and highlighted by the experts who participated in the study. Implemented the changes requested, denoted is the validation of hypermedia from experts, being able to use at the audience for which it was built.
