The research scenario is an entrepreneurship education project at national level. The study has a qualitative approach from the perspective of an exploratory investigation. It seeks to know and deepen the nature of phenomenon in an vision, to understand the meanings produced by social beings in a historical specific context. As theoretical framework this study is grounded by ideias from Castells, Levy, Masseto, Morin, Gaulejac, Bauman, Heidegger, among others. In methodological terms data were produced in an institutional platform by an interactive tool named speak to the tutor. Results showed that capacity-making of entrepreneurs, in the current context of the country, involves great challenges for at distance pedagocical mediation, in terms of contribution to social changes as well as management models of teaching programs in the entrepreneurship field. Among the principal threats is highlighted the need to empahazise on the social perspective of the entrepreneurship activity; the insufficient approach of the mediator in relation to a solidary citizenship-building of the entrepreneur vis a vis the collective sphere, especially in the frame of the humanitarian project built until today in which individualism is overlapped to any effort for favoring well-being and economic stabilty of the collectivity. / A presente pesquisa objetiva analisar a pedagogia online mediante a a????o docente representada na intera????o dos tutores com os alunos, em cursos livres curtos e gratuitos, oferecidos em larga escala, a um p??blico plural. O cen??rio da pesquisa situa-se num projeto de educa????o empreendedora de abrang??ncia nacional. O estudo proposto se insere na linha da abordagem qualitativa, a partir de uma pesquisa explorat??ria. Esta aproxima????o buscou conhecer e aprofundar a natureza dos fen??menos numa vis??o compreensiva, isto ??, dos significados atribu??dos pelos seres sociais em um contexto hist??rico espec??fico. Como aporte te??rico cotejou-se ideias de Castells, Levy, Masseto, Morin, Gaulejac, Bauman, Heidegger, dentre outros. Em termos metodol??gicos, a gera????o de dados se deu a partir da plataforma institucional, nas ferramentas interativas, F??rum e Fale com o Tutor. Nos resultados evidenciou-se que a capacita????o de empreendedores, no atual contexto do pa??s, representa desafios para a media????o pedag??gica a dist??ncia, entendida como possibilidade de aporte ?? mudan??a social, assim como para os modelos gestion??rios de programas educativos no campo do empreendedorismo. Dentre os desafios se destacam a falta da ??nfase sobre a fun????o social da atividade empreendedora, a insufici??ncia na abordagem do mediador a respeito da forma????o cidad?? e solid??ria do sujeito empreendedor em sua rela????o com o coletivo, principalmente, no marco do projeto de humanidade constru??do at?? hoje, no qual o individualismo se sobrep??e a qualquer tentativa que favore??a o bem-estar e a estabilidade econ??mica da coletividade.

Several educational institutions have been offering courses of internal improvement and qualification, as well as extension, undergraduate and postgraduate courses. The increase in the number of courses and the significant raise in the number of students result in new challenges to the educational institutions. The high dropout rates, common in Distance Education courses, is one of the crucial problems the institutions have to deal with. In this context, Data Mining is one of the main approaches for the development of predictive methods of evasion. The present paper aims an analysis of the Distance Education evasion in a traditional Midwest Brazilian University. The study intends to identify the behavior of the students who have dropped out undergraduate courses, in order to provide subsidies for the subjects involved in the teaching-learning process. As a preventive solution to the evasion issue, it is understood that proper communication with the students who are about to evade can lead to changes that contribute to minimize the problem. This study is presented in four parts: (i) literature review based on theoretical framework on Distance Education evasion, Virtual Learning Environments, Knowledge Discovery in Database (KDD) and Education Data Mining; (ii) an analysis of the Virtual Learning Environment institution database applying KDD techniques to identify the course abandonment behavior; (iii) development and validation of a model for predictive identification of students prone to evade; (iv) management actions to mitigate the problem. The results show that, when applying KDD to the variant data in time, 30 days after the beginning of the classes, it is possible to significantly predict evasion. From the results, an evasion prediction model was developed, as well as an evasion combat model. / A educa????o a dist??ncia (EAD) tem crescido nos ??ltimos anos. V??rias institui????es de ensino t??m ofertado cursos que v??o desde aperfei??oamentos e capacita????es internas at?? cursos de extens??o, gradua????o e p??s-gradua????o. Com o crescimento da oferta de cursos e o aumento significativo dos estudantes, as institui????es educacionais se colocam frente a novos desafios, entre eles o combate das altas taxas de evas??o, comum em cursos na modalidade EAD. Nesse sentido, a Minera????o de Dados ?? uma das abordagens que vem sendo explorada para o desenvolvimento de m??todos preditivos de evas??o. O presente trabalho prop??e uma an??lise da evas??o no contexto da EAD de uma tradicional universidade do Centro Oeste. O estudo busca identificar comportamentos dos estudantes que abandonaram cursos de gradua????o nessa modalidade, de maneira a fornecer subs??dios preditivos para os atores envolvidos no processo de ensino-aprendizagem de forma a apoiar a tomada de decis??es preventivas a respeito da evas??o. Parte-se do pressuposto de que interven????es junto aos estudantes propensos a evadir podem acarretar mudan??a no comportamento via Ambiente Virtual de Aprendizagem (AVA) que contribuem para minimizar a evas??o. Este trabalho ?? dividido em quatro partes: (i) uma revis??o da literatura, para embasamento te??rico, sobre evas??o no ??mbito da EAD, ambientes virtuais de aprendizagem (AVA), knowledge Discovery in Database (KDD) e Education Data Mining; (ii) an??lise da base de dados do AVA utilizado pela institui????o aplicando t??cnicas de KDD, para identifica????o do comportamento de abandono do curso; (iii) gera????o e valida????o de um modelo para identifica????o preditiva de estudantes propensos a evadir; (iv) A????es Gerenciais propostas para mitiga????o do problema. Os resultados mostram que ao aplicar o KDD nos dados variantes no tempo, com 30 dias ap??s o in??cio das aulas, ?? poss??vel predizer evas??o com precis??o significativa. A partir dos resultados obtidos, gerou-se um modelo de predi????o de evas??o bem como um modelo de tomada de decis??o e a????es de combate ?? evas??o.

Digital media are highlighted in this context and, thus, new questions arise to the pedagogical debate at the university. This research aimed to know and analyze the perceptions about the use of digital media as an educational resource for teachers who work in accounting courses offered in distance mode for two Higher Education Institutions - IES - Brazil, seeking to identify achievements and difficulties that may impact the performance of teachers facing the challenges and requirements regarding the use of technology in higher education. To this end, an exploratory research with a quantitative approach, in which data were collected through an online questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics and content analysis was performed. It was found that the teaching practice is the main source of learning teaching 58 seconds questioned. As for the higher purpose of the internet stand out statements such as "seeking knowledge" and "doing research" with 63 responses (75%). The purpose of using the internet is presented as essential in the practice of teachers as 71 respondents claim to use it to "do research"; "Prepare lessons", 67 responses and "distributing materials via e-mail", 65 responses (77%). Stand out with lower average items "presentation classes", 51 responses (61%), and "develop forums, mailing lists and chats with students" with 42 responses (50%). As for the use of media in teaching practice has been that 78% of teachers have sufficient regarding the use of forums, mailing lists, chats, blogs, etc., followed by 82% who say they used social networks and 66% of teachers who say "create, edit and use videos in their classrooms." This shows that teachers have a good level of knowledge of the use of interactive digital media, as 95% of teachers say they use virtual environments in their classes. With regard to the perception of the field of knowledge on the use of digital media as an educational resource it has to be above 70% of teachers claim to have Total Domain or almost total in relation to: 1. Use AVA, and other virtual spaces ; 2. Using digital media as forums, mailing lists etc .; 3. Use social networks to create spaces of interaction and communication with students. For other media, approximately 40% claim to have Domain Enough about attitudes as: 1. Create learning situations with the use of interactive tools; 2. Create spaces for the student to carry out research. We conclude, therefore, that teachers use digital media more as teaching tools than as teaching resources. In many cases, teachers judge still has an insufficient mastery of the use of digital media in higher education. These limitations can be overcome, in the perception of teachers through training processes in which digital media are understood beyond the instrumental use, but as potentiating the expression and cultural production. / Modos diferentes de conceber o conhecimento fortalecem discuss??es sobre mudan??as curriculares, metodologias ativas de ensino-aprendizagem e inova????es pedag??gicas. As m??dias digitais ganham destaque nesse contexto e, desse modo, novas quest??es colocam-se ao debate pedag??gico na universidade. A presente pesquisa teve como objetivo conhecer e analisar as percep????es sobre o uso das m??dias digitais como recurso pedag??gico de docentes que atuam em cursos de Ci??ncias Cont??beis oferecidos na modalidade a dist??ncia por duas institui????es de Ensino Superior - IES - brasileiras, procurando identificar avan??os e dificuldades que podem impactar o desempenho docente diante dos desafios e exig??ncias quanto ao uso das tecnologias na educa????o superior. Para tanto, foi realizada uma pesquisa explorat??ria de abordagem quantitativa, onde dados foram coletados por meio de question??rio online e analisados por meio da estat??stica descritiva e da an??lise de conte??do. Foi poss??vel constatar que a pr??tica de ensino ?? a principal fonte de aprendizagem da doc??ncia segundo 58 questionados. Quanto ?? finalidade maior do acesso ?? internet destacam-se afirma????es tais como a ???busca de conhecimento??? e ???fazer pesquisa??? com 63 respostas (75%). Esta finalidade do uso da internet apresenta-se como fundamental na pr??tica dos docentes, pois 71 questionados afirmam utiliz??-la para ???fazer pesquisas???; ???preparar aulas???, 67 respostas e ???distribuir material via e-mail???, 65 respostas. Destacam-se com m??dias mais baixas os itens ???apresenta????o de aulas???,51 respostas (61%), e ???desenvolver f??runs, listas de discuss??o e chats com os alunos??? com 42 respostas, (50%). J?? quanto ao uso das m??dias na pr??tica pedag??gica tem-se que 78% dos docentes possuem n??vel suficiente quanto ao uso de f??runs, listas de discuss??es, chats, blogs, etc., seguido de 82% que afirmam utilizar-se das redes sociais e 66% dos docentes que dizem ???criar, editar e utilizar v??deos nas suas aulas???. Isso evidencia que os docentes possuem um bom n??vel de conhecimento do uso das m??dias digitais interativas, pois 95% dos docentes afirmam se utilizar de ambientes virtuais em suas aulas. No que se refere ?? percep????o sobre o dom??nio do conhecimento quanto ao uso de m??dias digitais como recurso pedag??gico tem-se que acima de 70% dos docentes afirmam possuir Dom??nio Total ou quase total em rela????o a: 1. Utilizar AVA, e outros espa??os virtuais; 2. Utilizar m??dias digitais como f??runs, listas de discuss??es etc.; 3. Usar as redes sociais para criar espa??os de intera????o e a comunica????o com alunos. Em rela????o a outras m??dias, aproximadamente 40%, afirmam possuir Dom??nio Suficiente quanto a atitudes como: 1. Criar situa????es de aprendizagem com o uso das ferramentas interativas; 2. Criar espa??os para que o aluno realize pesquisas. Conclui-se, assim, que os docentes utilizam as m??dias digitais mais como instrumentos did??ticos do que como recursos pedag??gicos. Em muitos dos casos, os docentes julgam possuir ainda um dom??nio insuficiente do uso das m??dias digitais na educa????o superior. Estas limita????es podem ser superadas, na percep????o dos docentes, mediante processos formativos em que as m??dias digitais sejam entendidas para al??m do uso instrumental, mas como potencializadoras da express??o e produ????o cultural.

To this end, structured into two parts: through research and analysis of content, sought to impound as if gave historic process of creation, as well as identify variables isom?rficas, proposed by Powell and DiMaggio (1991), on the actions undertaken, and still present, institutional actors-having been found three typologies; then investigated the process itself, analyzing the factors of institutionalization suggested Esman (1966-1972), internal structure doctrine, leadership programme, resources, links and exchanges, from the political plan educational course. As the research methodology was defined as qualitative, even though I used survey to collect, reviewed the second ANOVA. The results found in this step pointed out that only the doctrine and internal structure variables are consistent with the assumptions of model; we found for other, discharged indicated a gap between the political acts contemplated in teaching and the actions taken so far, unfavourable element to its legitimacy. However, although the implications found in the analysis of these factors suggest that this course can derive one more discontinuous Government proposal of distance course, this study believes that are still reasonable assistance to facilitate and promote the process aimed at strengthening the progress achieved so far in the success of its institutionalization / Este trabalho tem por objetivo descrever como est? ocorrendo o processo de institucionaliza??o do Curso de Administra??o a dist?ncia da UFRN.

Os Materiais Interativos t?m como prop?sito servir como uma via pela qual o conte?do do curso chegue at? o aluno de forma did?tica, estimulante e auto instrutiva o suficiente para que o aluno se engaje e n?o encontre dificuldades em utiliz?-lo. Ap?s o levantamento de dados deste contexto foram selecionados quatro Materiais Interativos (?Introdu??o ao C?lculo Aplicado?, ?Ci?ncia, Tecnologia e Sociedade?, ?Estudos do Semi?rido? e ?Geografia Cultural?) que adotam a estrutura estabelecida pela UFRN-SEDIS para serem avaliados quanto ? sua usabilidade. Inicialmente foi realizado um teste preliminar a partir de avalia??o cooperativa com uma aluna interagindo com os quatro Materiais Interativos no intuito de revelar e mapear as principais falhas de usabilidade, subsidiando questionamentos mais aprofundados posteriormente. As grava??es deste teste preliminar foram analisadas por um grupo de foco composto por dois designers gr?ficos e dois designers de multim?dia, sendo estes os desenvolvedores respons?veis pelos Materiais Interativos, o que contribuiu para analisar o desvio entre ?o que foi projetado? e ?como foi usado?, estruturando e complementando o roteiro para a avalia??o cooperativa e avalia??o de satisfa??o posteriores. A avalia??o cooperativa foi aplicada individualmente a dez alunos de cursos de gradua??o da UFRN, que testaram cada um dos quatro materiais. Ao final todos preencheram um question?rio de avalia??o de satisfa??o adaptado do formul?rio Quis (Questionnaire for User Interaction Satisfaction). A an?lise dos dados coletados na presente pesquisa revelou pontos positivos, negativos e apontamentos a serem considerados para nortear o desenvolvimento de futuros materiais did?ticos interativos, no contexto da UFRN-SEDIS, retroalimentando o processo de design e avalia??o com a participa??o do usu?rio / This study aims to assess the usability of Interactive Materials developed for the courses offered by UFRN SEDIS the modality of distance education (DE), using the techniques of focus group cooperative evaluation and assessment of satisfaction. The Interactive Materials are intended to serve as an avenue where the course content reaches the student in an educational, stimulating and self-instructive enough for the student to engage and find no difficulty in using it so. After the survey data in this context were selected four Interactive Materials ("Introduction to Applied Calculus", "Science, Technology and Society", "studies the Semi-Arid" and "Cultural Geography") that adopt the framework established by UFRN for SEDIS be evaluated for their usability. Initially, a preliminary test was conducted from cooperative assessment with a student interacting with the four learning objects in order to reveal and map the major failures of usability, supporting deeper questions later. The recordings of this preliminary test were analyzed by a focus group composed of two graphic designers and two multimedia designers, and developers responsible for these objects, which helped to analyze the gap between "what was designed" and "as was used "structuring and supplementing the roadmap for cooperative evaluation and assessment of subsequent satisfaction. The cooperative evaluation was applied individually to ten students of undergraduate UFRN that tested each of the four materials. At the end, every student completed a questionnaire assessing satisfaction form adapted Wanted (Questionnaire for User Interaction Satisfaction). The analysis of the data collected in this study revealed positive, negative and notes to be considered to guide the future development of Interactive Materials, in the context of UFRN SEDIS, feedback to the process of design and evaluation with user participation

The research aims to analyze textualization regarding communication practices between tutors and distance learning students. Specifically the research aims to verify if the educational forum is considered pertinent for knowledge construction as well as identify subject?s behavior in e-Proinfo environment. The research also aims to understand the dynamics of the teaching and learning techniques related to the forum?s printed material. This is done in order to acknowledge discourse on behalf of subjects through the presented educational assignments. In order to address the issue, the work dealt with the relations present in distance learning forums, the forms in which the assignments are made, the way social actors interact and how this debate happens in the virtual environment. The research emphasized an educational forum used in a higher education institution at Rio Grande do Norte/Brazil. Thus the research corpus is composed by messages that were posted in the forum in the module called computer material . This module is one of the last in a set of six modules that are part of The Basic Cycle for Media Training promoted by the Center for Distance Learning in a public university at Rio Grande do Norte/Brazil. The research deals with a qualitative type approach in the perspectives of Merriam (1988), Cresswell (1994) and Minayo (1996). In order to achieve this analysis, the research dealt with theoretical landmarks related to distance learning present in (Silva, 2008; Brait, 1993; Sperbe and Wilson, 1986; Marquesi and Elias 2008 as well as Xavier, 2005, amongst others. As for aspects related to media and technological perspectives present in the forum, the research dealt with (Baranov, 1989; Neuner, 1981; Kearsley and Moore, 1996). Textualization was dealt according to (Marcuschi, 2008; Costa Val, 2004) and the conceptions and functions regarding tutors was seen according to (Salgado, 2002). In the conclusion and recommendations it was seen that these discussions present relevant contributions to distance learning and go beyond the practical universe present in electronical interaction. In the final considerations it is pointed out that this research is relevant for areas such as applied linguistics and presents guidelines for those involved in continuous education and aim meaningful knowledge that is coherent with distance learning education / Esta pesquisa tem como tema o ambiente de textualiza??o no ensino a dist?ncia, com foco no f?rum educacional utilizado por uma institui??o de ensino superior do Rio Grande do Norte, tendo como objetivo geral analisar a intera??o que se estabelece entre tutor e cursistas e suas implica??es para o processo de ensino e aprendizagem. Outros objetivos, mais espec?ficos, foram tamb?m considerados, tais como: verificar a pertin?ncia do f?rum educacional para a constru??o do conhecimento no ensino a dist?ncia, entender as fun??es dos pap?is desses sujeitos no e-Proinfo e, ainda, identificar na constru??o discursiva dos sujeitos frente ?s tarefas agendadas como ocorre a aprendizagem nesse ambiente. Para explorar o tema, tomamos por base uma problem?tica que interroga, sobretudo, em rela??o aos modos de intera??o no f?rum, como os temas s?o postos na discuss?o, como os atores sociais dialogam entre si e como ocorre o debate no ambiente virtual em fun??o da aprendizagem. O corpus comp?ese de mensagens postadas no f?rum durante o m?dulo Material Inform?tica , ?ltimo dos seis que integram o Ciclo B?sico do Programa de Forma??o M?dias na Educa??o, promovido pelo N?cleo de Educa??o a Dist?ncia (NEAD). A pesquisa caracteriza-se como uma abordagem qualitativa, na perspectiva de Merriam (1988), Cresswell (1994) e Minayo (1996) e situa-se no ?mbito da Lingu?stica Aplicada, tendo em vista que aborda quest?es que dizem respeito ao processo de ensino e aprendizagem em ambientes virtuais. Para a an?lise, recorremos a aspectos te?ricos referentes ao ensino a dist?ncia em autores como Silva (2008), Brait (1993), Sperbe e Wilson (1986), Marquesi e Elias (2008), Xavier (2005), entre outros. Com rela??o ?s m?dias e ?s perspectivas das tecnologias aplicadas ao f?rum, recorremos a Baranov (1989), Neuner (1981), Kearsley e Moore (1996); ao ambiente de textualiza??o Marcuschi, (2008), Costa Val (2004), assim como ?s concep??es e fun??es do tutor encontradas em Salgado (2002). Nos resultados, percebemos que a intera??o tutor-cursista fica comprometida pelo apagamento da tutora, que muitas vezes, se posiciona apenas como propositora do t?pico sem participar das discuss?es para o aprofundamento e fechamento avaliativo do conte?do sugerido, prejudicando assim a aprendizagem. Observamos tamb?m a aus?ncia de uma progress?o t?pica realizada pelos cursistas devido a falta de orienta??o e reorienta??o das quest?es discutidas, bem como pelo distanciamento da postagem de uma mensagem a outra. Desse modo, consideramos pertinente a participa??o dos cursistas e tutores de forma mais efetiva no espa?o interacional com vistas ? constru??o de novos saberes para a aprendizagem em ambientes de EaD
