INTRODUCTION While the concept is widely defined and interpreted, all Web 2.0 tools have certain characteristics in common; they are collaborative in nature, interactive, and dynamic. The Science and Engineering librarians at the University of British Columbia are collaborating with their liaison departments to record science and engineering podcasts, host them and share them with a wider audience. OBJECTIVES In this session, we discuss the use of podcasting as an outreach tool that connects a large academic science and engineering library with its users and raises users’ awareness of additional library services. Functionality, usability and practical applications of podcasting tools are reviewed. OUTCOMES At the end of this session, we will have demonstrated: 1) Overall usability of podcasting academic science and engineering content; tips and tricks when creating and tailoring podcasts to your community needs; 2) Use of podcasting as an outreach and community engagement tool in academic libraries and as a supplement for the traditional academic information resources. DISCUSSION The strength of podcasting, to allow content to be created by the users for the users, makes it an appealing addition to the academic librarians’ toolbox. Podcasting is a service that many of our users might not expect from their library, which makes it a unique and attractive offering. It requires few resources, and the end result might exceed librarians’ expectations. We found podcasting to be a robust outreach tool and a service that raises the profile of the library and as such creates an opportunity for users to find additional library resources. Nevertheless, it is necessary for academic librarians to critically evaluate the continuous innovations of Web 2.0 technologies on an ongoing basis so that they are best prepared to put them into the appropriate context amongst other relevant and important information.

本研究以台灣北區的社區大學、國立空中大學、大學推廣教育三類學習者為研究對象，旨在探討三者於學術性課程上的「心流經驗」與「主動學習」是否有所差異，若有差異則可能的影響因素又為何？並分析心流經驗與主動學習兩變項間的關係。 本研究的樣本總數為729人，採用立意取樣，研究工具係參考前人改編之心流經驗與主動學習問卷一份，問卷中一併蒐集了關於三類學習者在機構中的學習經驗（包含：學習歷程的頻率、學習歷程的品質等），以期能夠在探討差異的同時，找出影響的可能原因。 資料分析方法採用了結構方程模型（SEM）以作為問卷之驗證性因素分析的方法，在確認了信效度後，以t考驗、單因子變異數分析、單因子多變量分析、共變數分析、積差相關、典型相關等統計方法輔助，以回答上述問題。主要結果發現： 一、「師生討論」、「同儕討論」、「做中學」、「田野調查」與「指導同儕」等學習歷程的頻率與心流經驗、主動學習皆有顯著正相關。 二、「互動品質」、「課程公共化」、「經驗學習」等學習歷程品質與心流和主動學習有顯著相關。 三、不同的「學習動機」會造成心流與主動學習的差異，當中以「取得學位」為動機的學習者之心流與主動學習較其他就讀動機者為弱。 四、三類機構在心流經驗與主動學習的差異依序是：社區大學 > 空中大學 >推廣教育。 五、主動學習中的「內在動機與熱情」是目前研究者發現三機構在心流經驗中差異的因素之一。 六、心流經驗中的「自發自足經驗」是目前研究者發現三機構在主動學習上有差異的因素之一。 七、心流經驗與主動學習兩者具有高度正相關。 / The purpose of this study is to compare community university, national open university and university extension education in northern Taiwan, which each refers to flow experience and active learning. This study is also attempted to investigate the possible factors among these organizations which may cause the differences. Another issue in this study is concerned with the relationship between flow experience and active learning. The data was collected from 729 adult learners by judgmental sampling, and the questionnaire was based upon a revised questionnaire concerning their flow experience, active learning, and learning experience (including the frequency of learning process and quality of learning process) in academic courses. The results of this study are as followings: 1. Flow experience and active learning were positive correlation with the frequency of learning process, which includs “teachers and students discussion ”, “peer-discussion”, “learning by doing”, “field work” and “peer-tutoring”. 2. Flow experience and active learning were positive correlation with the quality of learning process, which includs “quality of interaction”, “curriculum publication”, and “experiential learning”. 3. The different learning motivation affect the flow experience and active learning among learners in these three organizations, especially the learners who chose “learning for the academic degree” were averaged lower than others. 4. Comparing with three organizations about the flow experience and active learning performance: community university is better than national open university and university extension education. Moreover, the national open university is better than university extension education. 5. The“intrinsic motivation and passion” is one of the factors which affect flow experience. 6. The “autotelic experience” is one of the factors which affect active learning. 7. The flow experience is positive correlation with active learning.

Η ραγδαία εξάπλωση του Internet έχει προκαλέσει σημαντικές αλλαγές σε πολλούς κλάδους της οικονομίας και της κοινωνίας παγκόσμια. Με τη ραγδαία ανάπτυξη των Τεχνολογιών της Πληροφορικής και της Τεχνολογίας, μια νέα μορφή εκπαίδευσης εμφανίστηκε, που δεν είναι άλλη από το e-learning (εκπαίδευση από απόσταση), που έφερε την επανάσταση στο εκπαιδευτικό γίγνεσθαι. Επιπρόσθετα ο Παγκόσμιος Ιστός σταδιακά μετεξελίσσεται στο Σημασιολογικό Παγκόσμιο Ιστό (Semantic Web) νέα μοντέλα και πρότυπα (XML, RDF, OWL) αναπτύσσονται για την προώθηση αυτής της διαδικασίας. Η έκφραση, μετάδοση και αναζήτηση πληροφοριών με χρήση αυτών των προτύπων ανοίγει νέους ορίζοντες στη χρήση του Διαδικτύου. Οι οντολογίες κερδίζουν ολοένα έδαφος για την αναπαράσταση γνώσης. Σε μια μεγάλη οντολογία που περιέχει χρήσιμα δεδομένα για ένα σύστημα εξ’ αποστάσεως εκπαίδευσης, αξίζει κάποιος να ερευνήσει την «κρυμμένη γνώση», δηλαδή να ανακαλύψει πιθανές συσχετίσεις ή συνειρμούς, να βρει πρότυπα ή μορφές που επαναλαμβάνονται ή ακραία φαινόμενα. Η παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία αποτελεί μια επίδειξη τεχνολογίας για την έγκυρη και έγκαιρη πρόβλεψη της απόδοσης των φοιτητών σε ένα σύστημα εξ’ αποστάσεως εκπαίδευσης. Η βασική ιδέα προκύπτει από την ανάγκη να σχεδιαστεί μία οντολογία η οποία θα μπορεί να αποθηκεύσει τη γνώση σχετικά με τις ικανότητες φοιτητών (user profile) σε σχέση με ένα συγκεκριμένο εκπαιδευτικό αντικείμενο (ΠΛΗ23 – Τηλεματική, Διαδίκτυο του Ελληνικού Ανοικτού Πανεπιστημίου (ΕΑΠ) )η οποία έχει πολύ συγκεκριμένη ύλη και 4 υποχρεωτικές γραπτές εργασίες ανά έτος). Στη συνέχεια παρουσιάζονται τα αποτελέσματα μελέτης της ανάλυσης των δεδομένων των φοιτητών με τεχνικές εξόρυξης γνώσης. Η εύρεση των κανόνων πραγματοποιήθηκε μέσω του εργαλείου Weka. Το αποτέλεσμα που προέκυψε είναι μία βάση γνώσης βάσει της οποίας γίνεται έγκαιρα και έγκυρα η πρόβλεψη της συμπεριφοράς του φοιτητή, δηλαδή αν θα καταφέρει να ολοκληρώσει επιτυχώς ή μη τη Θεματική Ενότητα που έχει αναλάβει στο ΕΑΠ, ώστε ο διδάσκων να μπορεί από πολύ νωρίς να υποστηρίξει το φοιτητή με επιπλέον υλικό αν απαιτείται. / The rapid spread of Internet has caused significant changes in many sectors of the economy and society worldwide. From those changes could not be left out of education. With the rapid development of information technologies and technology, a new form of education appears, e-learning (distance education), which revolutionized the educational process. Furthermore, while the World Wide Web gradually transforms into Semantic Web, new standards and models (XML, RDF, OWL) are evolving in order to launch this inquiry. The storage, presentation, transmission and search of information according to those standards open up new horizons in the utilization of the Web. Ontologies are increasingly get used for knowledge representation. A large ontology contains useful data for a system of distance education, deserves someone to investigate the "hidden knowledge", i.e. to discover possible associations or to find patterns or forms that are repeated or extreme events. This thesis is a demonstration of technology for accurate and timely prediction of the performance of students in a system of distance education. The basic idea was to design an ontology that can store knowledge about the students’ skills (user profile) in relation to a specific educational purpose (PLI23 - Telematics, Internet of the Hellenic Open University, which has a very specific matter and 4 mandatory projects per year). Then we present the results of a study analyzing student data mining techniques (data mining-classification). The discovery rules took place via the tool Weka. The result is a knowledge base which is the appropriate tool (Interface teacher) may provide that a student needs on a particular topic (in addition to material help from the teacher), etc.

The objective is to indicate to what extent, in the last 10 years, the resources destined to UAB-UFSCar are proportional to the resources received to finance the UAB and the MEC, making it possible to minimize gaps and to promote a greater vision for the use and planning of the resources destined to Distant Education. For this purpose, data collection was done from information available on government websites and official documents. Subsequently statistical tests were applied to compare the volume and progress of values of the institutions. A change in the volume of resources allocated to UAB-UFSCar in relation to the UAB System and to MEC was noted in the analyzed period, a downward trend was identified over the last two years and the same drop was presented in the amount of MEC's investment resources for the UAB System since the year 2012. / Frente às mudanças nos parâmetros de financiamento do Sistema Universidade Aberta do Brasil (UAB) no decorrer dos dez anos de sua implantação, estabeleceu-se um diagnóstico junto ao Sistema UAB na Universidade Federal de São Carlos (UFSCar), a qual possui cinco cursos de graduação, dois cursos de especialização e cursos de aperfeiçoamento na modalidade a Distância, comparando o percentual de recursos para o financiamento da UAB-UFSCar e os percentuais destinados ao Sistema UAB e o montante total para o mesmo período, destinado ao Ministério da Educação (MEC) para o Ensino Superior. O objetivo é sinalizar em que medida, nos últimos 10 anos, os valores destinados à UAB-UFSCar são proporcionais aos recebidos para financiamento da UAB e do MEC, possibilitando minimizar lacunas e promover uma maior visão para utilização e planejamento do montante destinados à EaD. Para tanto, foi realizada coleta de dados a partir de informações disponíveis em sites governamentais e documentos oficiais. Posteriormente, foram aplicados testes estatísticos para comparar o volume e evolução de valores das instituições. Verificou-se alteração do volume de valores destinados à UAB-UFSCar em relação ao Sistema UAB e ao MEC no período analisado, sendo identificada tendência de queda ao longo dos últimos dois anos. A mesma queda foi apresentada no montante de recursos de investimento do MEC para o Sistema UAB desde o ano de 2012.

Trata-se de uma pesquisa de cunho qualitativo. Mais especificamente, utilizei a abordagem metodológica da Teoria Fundamentada nos Dados (TFD). Nessa abordagem, o pesquisador deve construir uma teoria a partir do desenvolvimento de conceitos, categorias, propriedades e dimensões. A TFD foi utilizada na construção e na análise dos dados, estes, produzidos a partir de quatro fontes: observação no Ambiente Virtual de Aprendizagem (AVA), entrevistas com professores, tutores e alunos dos cursos, análise dos documentos oficiais destes cursos e um diário de campo do pesquisador. Os dados produzidos permitiram um diálogo com as ideias de polidocência, que discute a fragmentação do ensino em cursos a distância, e do construto seres-humanos-com-mídias, que propõe que humanos e tecnologias atuam juntos na produção do conhecimento matemático. Esses dados permitiram inferir que há dois papéis em evidência, cada um analisado em uma das categorias que emergiram, intituladas “TD e seu papel na estruturação da disciplina” e “TD e seu papel na docência da disciplina”. Em cada uma das categorias foram desenvolvidas três propriedades. Na primeira: o design da disciplina, a avaliação online e a interação. Na segunda categoria, as propriedades exploradas foram: a mudança de papéis, a estratégia e as dificuldades epistemológicas. Posteriormente, essas categorias foram integradas em uma categoria central que indica a teoria que defende a existência de um construto polidocentes-com-mídias para os dados produzidos e analisados. Esse construto sugere que as TD atuam no coletivo de trabalhadores da polidocência, alterando papéis e desvelando outros neste coletivo. Para isso, é necessário que o AVA seja um ambiente rico em interações colaborativas, nas quais o diálogo seja constantemente incentivado por professores e tutores. Com o construto polidocentes-com-mídias elaborado, o modelo foi, então, verificado nas disciplinas analisadas, o que corroborou a necessidade das interações colaborativas. Com esta pesquisa, espera-se que outras sejam iniciadas no sentido de investigar que outros papéis as TD podem desempenhar, não apenas no ensino, como também na aprendizagem de outras disciplinas em contextos semelhantes. / This research aims to understand the role of Digital Technologies (DT) in the teaching of Calculus in distance education, in particular, in the Pre-Service Mathematics Teacher Education of the Open University of Brazil (UAB). A qualitative research approach was used, specifically the methodological approach of Grounded Theory (GT). In this approach, the researcher builds a theory grounded in concepts, categories, properties and dimensions identified through analysis of the data. The data were produced from four sources: observation in Virtual Learning Environment (VLE), interviews with teachers, tutors and students of the courses, analysis of official documents of these courses, and research field notes. Based on the produced data, it was possible to build a dialogue between poly-teaching ideas regarding the fragmentation of teaching in distance learning courses, and the theoretical construct humans-with-media, which proposes that humans and technology work together in the production of mathematical knowledge. Two roles of DT emerged as analytic categories: "DT and its role in the structuring of the course" and "DT and its role in teaching the course". In each category, three properties were developed. In the first category, they were: the course design, evaluation and online interaction. In the second category, the properties explored were: changing roles, strategy and epistemological difficulties. Later, these categories were integrated into a central category that formed the basis for defending the existence of the theoretical construct “poly-teachers-with-media”. This construct suggests that DT act in the collective of poly-teaching workers, changing roles and revealing others in this collective. Therefore, it is necessary for the VLE to be an environment rich in collaborative interactions, in which the dialogue is constantly encouraged by teachers and tutors. Once the notion of the construct poly-teachers-with-media was developed, the model was then verified in the analyzed courses, which supported the relationship with the need for collaborative interactions. With this research, it is hoped that others will begin to investigate the other roles that DT can play, not only in teaching, but also in the learning of different subjects in similar contexts.

No. of bitstreams: 1 arquivototal.pdf: 1052261 bytes, checksum: c1aabd05aa47d762bcdbc256f06691f6 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2011-08-19 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / Vygotsky was one of first, if not the first developmental theoretician who explored the notion of mediation in his theory. For this author, mediation occurs from the interposition of an external element (sign) between the individual and his/her behavior, and thus, modifying it. The sign will be used like an instrument in order to facilitate reality and individual‟s action apprehension about the world. Pedagogical mediation corresponds to the range of activities and behaviors starting from the teacher with a view to orient, structure, motivate, defy, research and render problematic, together with the student. The teacher disposes of an apparatus of technological, pedagogical and didactical resources (digital or not) to provide for an interactive, collaborative, dialoged learning process focusing on research, as well as an active construction of knowledge. In the realm of policies for teachers‟ graduation, especially the Open University system in Brazil, this study analyses pedagogical mediation in teaching-learning processes, in Natural Sciences Graduation courses (distance learning) in Federal University of Paraíba, which uses Virtual Learning Environment MOODLE as a technological resource in order to develop pedagogical practices. The case study approach, followed up by the interview and documental analysis technique, made up the data collecting tools. The analysis confirmed that the studied course does not present a cohesive and clear definition of Education and Distance Learning based on a pedagogical theory; it does not present clarity as for the comprehension of technologies and their uses, as well as there are no elements in the political pedagogical project of the course, and neither in professors‟ practice that point to an adherence to a pedagogical mediation pattern. Based on these grounds, the accomplished reading indicates that the pedagogical posture of the studied course professors is neither adequate for Distance Learning, nor is concrete for a mediating practice; rather, it suggests a mere transmission of contents, in which students‟ interaction and participation occur in a superficial way. It also accentuates that the course tutors and professors‟ tasks are not clear enough in the course project, which jeopardizes its functioning, subject-matters development as well as students‟ learning. / Vygotsky foi um dos primeiros teóricos do desenvolvimento, senão o primeiro, a explorar a noção de mediação em sua teoria. Para esse autor, a mediação se dá a partir da interposição de um elemento externo (signo) entre o indivíduo e seu comportamento, modificando-o. O signo será usado tal qual um instrumento para facilitar a apreensão da realidade e a ação do indivíduo sobre o mundo. A mediação pedagógica corresponde à gama de atividades e comportamentos que partem do professor no sentido de orientar, estruturar, motivar, desafiar, pesquisar, problematizar, junto com o aluno. O professor dispõe de um aparato de recursos didático-pedagógicos e tecnológicos (digitais ou não) para propiciar um processo de aprendizagem, interativo, dialogado e colaborativo, com foco na pesquisa e construção ativa de conhecimentos. No âmbito das políticas de formação de professores, notadamente o sistema Universidade Aberta do Brasil, o presente estudo analisa a mediação pedagógica nos processos de ensino e aprendizagem do curso de Graduação em Ciências Naturais (licenciatura a distância) da Universidade Federal da Paraíba, que utiliza o Ambiente Virtual de Aprendizagem MOODLE como artefato tecnológico para o desenvolvimento das práticas pedagógicas. A abordagem do estudo de caso, acompanhado da técnica de entrevista e análise documental, compuseram os instrumentos de coleta de dados. A análise empreendida constatou que o referido curso não apresenta uma definição clara e coesa de Educação e de EAD ancoradas em uma teoria pedagógica; não apresenta clareza quanto à compreensão de tecnologias e seu uso, bem como não há elementos no projeto político pedagógico deste curso, e nem nas práticas dos professores, que apontem para uma adesão ao paradigma da mediação pedagógica. Por estes motivos, a leitura efetuada indica que a postura pedagógica dos professores do curso supramencionado não está adequada à EAD, não concretiza uma prática mediadora, e aponta para a mera transmissão de conteúdo, na qual as interações e as participações dos alunos se estabelecem de maneira superficial. Destaca, ainda, que as atribuições dos professores e tutores do curso de Ciências Naturais não estão claramente definidas no projeto do curso, o que compromete o funcionamento do mesmo, o desenvolvimento das disciplinas, e a aprendizagem dos alunos.

O processo expansionista ocorrido na educação superior na década de 1990, sob a égide da defesa da diversificação e da ampliação das oportunidades educacionais, acontece com a reforma do Estado e do sistema educativo no Brasil, fomentando diversas ações e políticas governamentais na educação e na ampliação da modalidade a distância no País. Embora o crescimento da oferta da educação a distância tenha se dado inicialmente em âmbito privado, foi no setor público, com a criação da Universidade Aberta do Brasil, em 2005, que a educação superior pública promove o acesso a esse nível de ensino e a formação continuada visando à melhoria nos índices educacionais e na educação básica. Desse modo, no final da primeira década do século XXI, a educação superior pública e a educação à distância chegam a lugares longínquos, nos quais essa educação é reconhecida, por um lado, como ganho pela população local e, por outro, como uma política pública do estado, que precisa \"qualificar\" em termos numéricos a educação superior brasileira. A nossa problematização está relacionada, entretanto, aos significados sociais, culturais e econômicos dessa política educacional para as pessoas desses lugares. Nesse sentido, o objetivo deste trabalho é problematizar a UAB como política pública e educacional em relação aos possíveis efeitos sociais e culturais produzidos. As discussões dessa política de acesso à educação superior pública são pautadas nos princípios e nos termos de democracia, de direitos, de cidadania e de desenvolvimento humano, com base na teoria do Capital de Pierre Bourdieu e do Capabilty Aprroach de Amartya Sen. Os dados foram gerados em dois polos localizados na ilha de Marajó: Breves e São Sebastião da Boa Vista. Os instrumentos de trabalho de campo foram de fontes documentais, questionário, observação dos locais e entrevista semiestrutura, de natureza autobiográfica. Os participantes são 43 egressos da UAB que responderam ao questionário e 10 foram entrevistados, todos oriundos de famílias sem tradição de longevidade escolar, e os primeiros da família a se beneficiarem da educação superior. Os resultados revelam que, considerando que 70% da população do estado do Pará está concentrada no interior e apenas duas IES terem campus no interior, a presença dos polos da UAB em funcionamento, em 27 municípios, tem papel significativo na expansão das oportunidades nas vidas das pessoas, principalmente daquelas marcadas por condicionantes sociais. Além disso, os dados educacionais do Pará demonstram um crescimento na qualificação docente, promovidos pela UAB e pelo Parfor, e no Índice de Desenvolvimento Humano, além da transformação de capital cultural em capital social e econômico descritas pelos entrevistados. Portanto, tais evidências não podem ser ignoradas quando se discute a democratização do acesso à educação superior, sobretudo no papel da educação à distância nesse processo, bem como a valorização da educação pública. É preciso compreender e reconhecer os papéis sociais que a EAD exerce em localidades específicas, como uma política educacional nacional que produz efeitos individuais e sociais localmente e que pode contribuir para uma vida melhor em uma sociedade desigual e injusta. / The expansionist process in Higher Education during the 1990s triggered by the diversification and widening of educational opportunities has taken place within the context of the reform of the State and the Education System in Brazil. It has actually favored several governmental policies and activities in Education and in the widening of Distance Education Modality. Although growth in Distance Education initially took place within the private sector, the establishment of the Open University of Brazil, a public institution, in 2005, provided access to Higher Education and to Continued Formation for the improvement of educational indexes and basic education. By the end of the first decade of the 21st century, public higher education and distance education reached the backlands where schooling may be considered a conquest for the local population and as the public policy of the State which upgrades numerically higher education in Brazil. Current problematization is therefore related to social, cultural and economic significances of the educational policy of the local population. The Open University of Brazil as a stance in public policy is problematized with regard to the social and cultural produced. Discussions on the policy for access to public Higher Education are foregrounded on the principles and terms of democracy, citizenship and human development, on Pierre Bordieu´s Theory of Capital and on Amartya Sen´s Capability Approach. Data were produced at Breves and São Sebastião da Boa Vista, two educational poles in the Island of Marajó, Brazil. Field work comprised documentary sources, questionnaires, observation of sites and halfstructured autobiographical-style interviews. Personnel comprised 43 OUB graduates who answered the questionnaire and ten interviews. They hailed from families without any schooling or with short schooling tradition. In fact, they were first in the family to attend an undergraduate course. Results show that, although 70% of the population in the state of Pará, Brazil, live in the backlands and in spite of the fact that only two Higher Education Institutes have their campuses in the hinterland, running OUB poles in 27 municipalities have an important role in people´s life opportunities, especially those marked by social conditions. Further, educational data in the state of Pará reveal an increase in teachers´ qualifications backed by OUB and Parfor, in Human Development Index and in the transformation of cultural capital into social and economic capital described by the interviewed people. The above evidence cannot be discarded when the democratization of access to higher education is discussed, especially the role of DE in the process, as well as the public education valorization. DE´s social roles in specific places as a national educational policy should be understood and acknowledged. In fact, it produces individual and social effects locally and contributes towards a better life style within an unequal and unjust society.

The aim of this study is to analyze the conditions deployment and management degree in Physics course by distance learning System UAB in UFG, the pole in Goianésia - GO, from the perspective of their managers, with the intention of contribute to the development of this teaching modality. In this sense it became necessary to establish specific objectives, answer some questions that guided the development of the work, namely: How distance education was formed in UFG? What is your vision and managers on the course by distance? In an attempt to answer these questions and achieve the main objective, we analyzed throughout the paper, the following aspects related to the course, in view of their managers: 1. the implementation of the course; 2. the Educational Project Course, 3 . the administrative management; 4. the academic staff; 5. the learning process; 6. the assessment of learning; 7. the teaching material. The methodology used in this work was a case study with a qualitative approach, considered here for the most appropriate approach to the object. This work is composed of four chapters. The first presents some views on the course by distance and a brief history of the formation process of distance education in Brazil. In the second, we present the methodological procedures and the paths that were traversed to collect and systematize data. The third presents the analysis of interviews and documents and concluding remarks, we put the points and counterpoints of our analysis and present our personal impressions. Believe that this work can contribute to the development of this mode of teaching, and can also serve as a reference for the implementation of other distance learning courses in physics that can be created. The evaluation of the travel experience, from your project and also the expectations of its agents, managers, teachers, students can indicate problems and questions that nurture certain propose possible solutions and actions that can contribute to these new projects. / Esse trabalho apresenta o modelo de gestão do Curso de Licenciatura em Física a Distância pela Universidade Aberta do Brasil na Universidade Federal de Goiás, no polo de apoio presencial em Goianésia - GO, na visão de seus gestores.
