LIMA FILHO, Cícero Bandeira. Aprendizagem Colaborativa mediada pelo Squeak. 2013. 112f. – Dissertação (Mestrado) – Universidade Federal do Ceará, Programa de Pós-graduação em Educação Brasileira, Fortaleza (CE), 2013. / Submitted by Márcia Araújo (marcia_m_bezerra@yahoo.com.br) on 2014-05-21T12:41:01Z No. of bitstreams: 1 2013_dis_cblfilho.pdf: 1018009 bytes, checksum: 924a42c875fbcb304436744bd172dcca (MD5) / Approved for entry into archive by Márcia Araújo(marcia_m_bezerra@yahoo.com.br) on 2014-05-21T12:41:46Z (GMT) No. of bitstreams: 1 2013_dis_cblfilho.pdf: 1018009 bytes, checksum: 924a42c875fbcb304436744bd172dcca (MD5) / Made available in DSpace on 2014-05-21T12:41:46Z (GMT).

Considering the various difficulties presented by the Brazilian education , particularly related to learning the sciences of nature , reveal national and international assessments is necessary to propose methodological strategies to counter the teaching model based on transmission / reception of content . This paper considers that the mere insertion of digital technologies in the classroom does not provide the expected benefits, which led to the adoption of strategies that would promote collaboration among participants. Held at a school in the municipality of Quixadá contemplated by the project One Laptop per student, aimed to analyze the contributions of an intervention that uses a methodology based on computer-supported collaborative learning. Was theoretically supported the following authors : Pozo (2009 ) , Mortimer (2000) , Driver (1999) and Cachapuz (2011) , dealing with the thematic science education , and Vygotsky (2007) , Damiani (2009 ), Colaco (2007),Coll (2010), Torres and Irala (2007) among others, that address themes related to collaborative learning . The methodological approach of the research was performed in two steps: initially a pilot and then the main stage, with participation of students of the 3rd year of high school. The research was qualitative approach, with the following categories of analysis: collaborative learning, study the contents of biology and learning mediated by Squeak. During the intervention the moments of peer interaction and socialization of the productions of the participants who took from the use of an application that enabled the creation of drawings and animations to represent some of the contents were analyzed Biology. It was noted during this study that the didactic situations created by the intervention increased interactions and that digital technologies offer benefits provided it is used in a collaborative perspective that supports and problematizes the study of curricular content. / A presente pesquisa é voltada para a área tecnologias digitais na educação. Considerando as diversas dificuldades apresentadas pela educação brasileira, particularmente as relacionadas ao aprendizado das ciências da natureza, segundo revelam avaliações nacionais e internacionais é necessário propor estratégias metodológicas que se contraponham ao modelo de ensino baseado na transmissão/recepção de conteúdos. O presente trabalho considera que a simples inserção das tecnologias digitais em sala de aula não proporciona os benefícios esperados, o que motivou a utilização de estratégias que favorecessem a colaboração entre os participantes. Realizada numa escola do município de Quixadá, contemplada pelo projeto Um Computador por Aluno (UCA), teve como objetivo, analisar as contribuições de uma intervenção que utiliza uma proposta metodológica baseada na aprendizagem colaborativa com suporte computacional. Teve como suporte teórico os seguintes autores: Pozo (2009), Mortimer (2000), Driver (1999) e Cachapuz (2011), que tratam da temática, ensino de ciências além de Vygotsky (2007), Damiani (2009), Colaço (2007), Coll (2010), Torres e Irala (2007) dentre outros, que abordam temáticas relacionadas à aprendizagem colaborativa. O percurso metodológico da pesquisa se deu em duas etapas: inicialmente uma experiência piloto e em seguida a etapa principal, contando com participação de alunos do 3º ano do Ensino Médio. A pesquisa teve abordagem qualitativa, com as seguintes categorias de análise: aprendizagem colaborativa, estudo dos conteúdos de Biologia e aprendizagem mediada pelo Squeak. No decorrer da intervenção foram analisados os momentos de interação entre pares e de socialização das produções dos participantes, que se deu a partir da utilização de um aplicativo que possibilitou a criação de desenhos e animações para representar conteúdos de Biologia. Constatou-se durante este estudo que as situações didáticas criadas pela intervenção ampliaram as interações e que as tecnologias digitais podem oferecer benefícios desde que utilizadas numa perspectiva colaborativa oferecendo suporte e problematizando o estudo dos conteúdos de biologia.

Em direção à formação otimizada de grupos para a aprendizagem colaborativa

Quarto, Cicero Costa January 2016 (has links)
A presente tese consiste numa investigação teórica-experimental quali-quantitativa de caráter interdisciplinar, que busca compreender de que maneira combinações de perfis de alunos, baseado na sua própria avaliação de comportamento psicológico (perfis de autorrelatos) esperança, autoestima e autoeficácia, são mais adequadas na promoção da aprendizagem colaborativa mais efetiva, assim como no desenvolvimento de um modelo de tecnologia baseado em agentes, denominado Sistema-Multiagente Hermes (SMAHermes), capaz de apoiar a formação otimizada de grupos para a aprendizagem colaborativa. A metodologia de pesquisa contempla três experimentos realizados no AVEA MOODLE/CINTED/UFRGS, a partir dos quais valida-se o modelo SMA-Hermes concebido. A amostra utilizada nos experimentos foi composta de trinta e seis alunos (faixa etária média de dezoito anos), do curso de Engenharia de Computação, da Universidade Estadual do Maranhão (UEMA), referente às disciplinas de Matemática Discreta e Estrutura de Dados Avançados. Considerando os perfis de autorrelatos dos alunos, composições de grupos de forma aleatória (randômica), pelo sistema (a partir da formação desejada pelo professor) e livre (os alunos escolhem seus próprios pares) foram testadas Variáveis como PMOA (Pontuação Máxima Obtida na Atividade), TRA (Tempo de Realização da Atividade) e PCGj (Potencial de Colaboração de Grupo) foram criadas, de modo a expressarem ou predizerem os comportamentos colaborativos dos grupos. Ao final dos experimentos foi aplicado um teste sociométrico com o objetivo de identificar afinidades sociais em função dos perfis de autorrelatos esperança, autoestima e autoeficácia dos alunos. Os resultados se mostram satisfatórios em relação à melhoria dos desempenhos de grupos em contextos de aprendizagem colaborativa quando se considera a tupla (PCGj; PMOA). Constatou-se, também, através dos resultados, que os melhores desempenhos de grupos colaborativos foram alcançados através de formações de grupos de forma aleatória, ressaltando que mesmo o mínimo desempenho de grupo obtido por meio desta formação ainda assim foi positivo. Do teste sociométrico aplicado, pode-se extrair características preponderantes dos pares afins, de forma que estas informações auxiliem no desenvolvimento de um modelo ontológico de colaboração e assim apoiar na definição de Papéis do aluno Vs. Perfis de autorrelatos para contextos de aprendizagem colaborativa. / This thesis consists of a theoretical-experimental quali-quantitative research that seeks to understand how combinations of student profiles, based on their own evaluation of psychological behavior (self-report profiles), hope, self-esteem and self-efficacy, are more suitable in promoting more effective collaborative learning, as well as in the development of an agent-based technology model, called Hermes Multi-Agent System (Hermes-MAS), capable of supporting the optimized groups formation for collaborative learning. The research methodology includes three experiments carried out in MOODLE / CINTED / UFRGS VLE, from which the conceived Hermes-MAS model is validated. The sample used in the experiments was composed of thirty-six students (18 years of average age range), from the State University of Maranhão (UEMA), all of which were attending the same Discrete Mathematics and Advanced Data Structure classes. Considering the students self-report profiles, group compositions in a random system (based on the teacher's desired formation) and free (where students chose their own peers) were tested Variables such as MSOA (Maximal Score Obtained in the Activity), ART (Activity Realization Time) and GCPj (Group Collaboration Potential) were established in order to express or predict the group’s collaborative behaviors. At the end of the experiments, a sociometric test was applied with the objective of identifying social affinities according to the self-report profiles hope, self-esteem and self-efficacy of the students. The results are satisfactory in relation to the improvement of group performances in collaborative learning contexts when considering the tuple (GCPj; MSOA). It was also verified through the results that the best performances of collaborative groups were achieved through group formations in a random manner, emphasizing that even the minimal group performance obtained through this training was still positive. From the applied sociometric test, one can extract preponderant characteristics of the related pairs, so that this information helps in the development of an ontological model of collaboration and thus supports the definition of Student roles Vs. Self-report profiles for collaborative learning contexts.

Modelagem probabilística de aspectos afetivos do aluno em um jogo educacional colaborativo

Pontarolo, Edilson January 2008 (has links)
Este trabalho apresenta o processo de construção de um modelo de inferência de emoções que um aluno sente em relação a outros alunos durante interação síncrona em um contexto de jogo colaborativo de aprendizagem. A inferência de emoções está psicologicamente fundamentada na abordagem da avaliação cognitiva e foram investigadas relações entre objetivos e normas comportamentais do aluno e aspectos de sua personalidade. Especificamente, foram empregados o modelo OCC de emoções e o modelo Big-Five (Cinco Grandes Fatores) de traços de personalidade para a fundamentação teórica da modelagem. O modelo afetivo representa a vergonha e orgulho apresentados pelo aluno em resposta à avaliação cognitiva de suas próprias ações e a reprovação e admiração apresentadas pelo aluno em resposta a ações de seu parceiro de jogo, a partir da avaliação do comportamento observável dos parceiros representado por suas interações no jogo colaborativo, em relação a normas comportamentais do aluno. A fim de suportar a incerteza presente na informação afetiva e cognitiva do aluno, adotou-se uma representação deste conhecimento através de Rede Bayesiana. Um refinamento qualitativo parcial e a respectiva parametrização quantitativa do modelo probabilístico foram efetuados a partir da análise de uma base de casos obtida através da condução de experimentos. A fim de prover um ambiente experimental, foi concebido e prototipado um jogo colaborativo no qual dois indivíduos conjugam esforços a fim de resolver problemas lógicos comuns à dupla, através de ações coordenadas, negociação simples e comunicação estruturada, em competição com outras duplas. / This work presents the construction of a model to infer emotions a student feels towards other students during synchronous interaction in the context of a collaborative learning game. The emotions inference is psychologically based on cognitive appraisal theory. Some relations between students’ personality and their goals and behavioral standards were also investigated. This modeling was based on OCC emotion model and Big-Five personality model. The affective model represents the student’s proud and shame as an answer to the cognitive appraisal of her/his own attributed interactions, and the student’s admiration and reproach as an answer to the cognitive appraisal of her/his partner attributed interactions, both according to the student’s behavioral standards. Bayesian Network knowledge representation was employed to better stand for the uncertainty present in the student’s cognitive and affective information. Employing a data-driven procedure, the probabilistic model was partially refined in terms of qualitative relations and quantitative parameters. Experimental data were obtained by using a game prototype implemented in order to support a collaborative dynamics of coordinated action, simple negotiation and structured communication, through which students interacted in order to solve shared problems, during synchronous competition with other students.

Using Differential Sequence Mining to Associate Patterns of Interactions in Concept Mapping Activity with Dimensions of Collaborative Process

January 2015 (has links)
abstract: Computer supported collaborative learning (CSCL) has made great inroads in classroom teaching marked by the use of tools and technologies to support and enhance collaborative learning. Computer mediated learning environments produce large amounts of data, capturing student interactions, which can be used to analyze students’ learning behaviors (Martinez-Maldonado et al., 2013a). The analysis of the process of collaboration is an active area of research in CSCL. Contributing towards this area, Meier et al. (2007) defined nine dimensions and gave a rating scheme to assess the quality of collaboration. This thesis aims to extract and examine frequent patterns of students’ interactions that characterize strong and weak groups across the above dimensions. To achieve this, an exploratory data mining technique, differential sequence mining, was employed using data from a collaborative concept mapping activity where collaboration amongst students was facilitated by an interactive tabletop. The results associate frequent patterns of collaborative concept mapping process with some of the dimensions assessing the quality of collaboration. The analysis of associating these patterns with the dimensions of collaboration is theoretically grounded, considering aspects of collaborative learning, concept mapping, communication, group cognition and information processing. The results are preliminary but still demonstrate the potential of associating frequent patterns of interactions with strong and weak groups across specific dimensions of collaboration, which is relevant for students, teachers, and researchers to monitor the process of collaborative learning. The frequent patterns for strong groups reflected conformance to the process of conversation for dimensions related to “communication” aspect of collaboration. In terms of the concept mapping sub-processes the frequent patterns for strong groups reflect the presentation phase of conversation with processes like talking, sharing individual maps while constructing the groups concept map followed by short utterances which represents the acceptance phase. For “joint information processing” aspect of collaboration, the frequent patterns for strong groups were marked by learners’ contributing more upon each other’s work. In terms of the concept mapping sub-processes the frequent patterns were marked by learners adding links to each other’s concepts or working with each other’s concepts, while revising the group concept map. / Dissertation/Thesis / Masters Thesis Computer Science 2015

An exploration of peer-mentoring among student teachers to inform reflective practice within the context of action research

Arday, Jason January 2015 (has links)
In recent decades, reflective practice and mentoring have become vehicles for endorsing professional development and competency among student teachers during their induction into the teaching profession. This research study aims to explore the extent to which peer-mentoring can inform reflective practice among student teachers within a community of practice. The mentoring concepts illuminated within this study suggest a move away from hierarchical expert-novice approaches towards mentoring, in exchange for more reciprocal endeavour where power dynamics are removed and both participants become equal receivers and disseminators of knowledge regarding teaching and learning. A qualitative approach was employed through a four-phase, sequential data collection strategy to gather the narrative data collated. Interviews, reflective pro-formas, workshops and open-ended questionnaires were used as instruments to collate narrative data concerning the peer-mentoring experiences of four student teachers. The data was analysed utilising an interpretive phenomenological analysis approach. The student teachers involved in this study were selected from a purposive sample. Importantly, the participants selected demonstrated professional characteristics which resonated with the aims of this study. A conceptual framework was designed to capture and examine six dimensions of collaborative mentoring in which student teachers could explore aspects of their own teaching practice through action research. The findings generated within the study point towards a range of contexts and challenges concerning peer-mentoring. The findings revealed that the mentoring dimensions used to stimulate meaningful reflection influenced professional development, while the challenges presented issues concerning; trust, power and time. However, the findings also indicate that challenges to peer-mentoring are not insurmountable. This particular study contends that further research is recommended into: firstly, how educational institutions can create supportive, collaborative learning cultures; secondly, how can reflective practice be encouraged throughout professional teaching careers; and finally, how can the challenges of peer-mentoring be minimised in attempting to encourage such endeavour among student teachers.

Utilizando a história e a natureza da ciência por meio de uma atividade colaborativa como mecanismo motivador de aprendizagem / Using the history and nature of science through a collaborative activity as a learning and motivation tool

Wommer, Fernanda Gabriela Bitencourt 03 March 2017 (has links)
Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES / The present study aims shows that Scientific Literacy involves more than the domain of scientific theories and concepts, it shows that it is necessary to incorporate understanding about the Nature of Science, thus promoting the development of scientific skills in the classroom. The History of Science is an important component when trying to understand the Nature of Science. This study was carried out in a rural elementary school with 12-to-15-year-old students. It was developed through a collaborative activity which aimed at rewriting the classic Micrographia book written by Robert Hooke in 1665. It was tested if this activity improve the possibility to teach aspects about the History and Nature of Science by developing scientific competences. In order to rewrite the book, students were first introduced to the historical context in which Robert Hooke lived, demonstrating cultural and scientific aspects related to that historical period. In the next step, students explored their home and school environments using a microscope made by themselves, built with PET bottles and lenses obtained from CD / DVD players to unravel an invisible world in which they had not previously known. After these steps, students had to draw and describe the structures observed using the microscopes, where they collaboratively rewrote the classic book, creating a replica. The learning evidences were evaluated through a quantitative tool called the Historical Word Association Test (HWAT), which aims to evaluate the general view of students about the historical period and the sociocultural circumstances involved. The students who participated in the didactic activity showed improvement in the identification and retention of ideas associated to the history of the discovery of the microscopic world, comparing to students who did conventional activities. / O presente estudo busca mostrar que a Alfabetização Científica envolve mais do que o domínio das teorias científicas e conceitos, mostra que é preciso incorporar a compreensão sobre a Natureza da Ciência, assim promovendo o desenvolvimento de competências científicas em sala de aula. A História da Ciência é um componente importante para compreender a Natureza da Ciência. Este estudo realizou-se em uma escola rural de ensino fundamental, com estudantes entre 12 a 15 anos de idade, foi desenvolvido por meio de uma atividade colaborativa visando reescrever o livro clássico Micrographia, escrito por Robert Hooke, em 1665, testamos a hipótese de que com esta atividade é possível ensinar aspectos sobre a História e a Natureza da Ciência desenvolvendo competências científicas. Para reescrever o livro, primeiramente os alunos foram apresentados ao contexto histórico em que viveu Robert Hooke, demonstrando aspectos culturais e científicos relacionados ao período histórico. Na próxima etapa, os alunos exploraram o ambiente escolar e domiciliar utilizando um microscópio feito por eles mesmos, construído com garrafas PET e lentes obtidas em leitores de CD/DVD para desvendar um mundo invisível que até então não conheciam. Após estas etapas, os alunos tiveram que desenhar e descrever as estruturas observadas nos microscópios, de forma colaborativa reescreveram o livro clássico criando uma réplica. As evidências de aprendizagem foram avaliadas por meio de uma ferramenta quantitativa, denominada Teste de Associação de Palavra Histórica (TAPH), que visa avaliar a visão geral de estudantes sobre o período histórico e as circunstâncias socioculturais envolvidas. Os alunos que participaram da atividade didática mostraram melhoria na identificação e retenção de ideias associadas à história da descoberta do mundo microscópico, comparando com estudantes que fizeram atividades convencionais.

Collaborative construction using chat in different tasks / Proceso de construcción colaborativa a través del chat según el tipo de tarea

Roselli, Néstor 25 September 2017 (has links)
The objective of this research was to characterize the chat collaborative interaction of two partners in six kinds of cognitive tasks. The central hypothesis was that the task nature determines a particular kind of collaborative interaction. The six tasks tested were: to solve a logical problem, to compose a story, to read a data table, to rank opinions, to bring a scientific explanation of a domestic situation, to interpret the signification of a literature text. The 11 dyads of the sample were formed by university students. Results show significant differences between the tasks concerning the sociocognitive interaction, specially the logical-intelligent tasks related the open-interpretative tasks. Finally, there is a great difference between tasks in the personal evaluation of the difficulty and interest of each one. / El objetivo fue caracterizar la interacción colaborativa de díadas, a través del chat, en seis tareas cognitivas: resolver un problema lógico, elaborar una historia, leer una tabla de datos, ordenar jerárquicamente opiniones, brindar una explicación científica de un hecho fáctico e interpretar un texto literario. La hipótesis central era que el tipo de tarea implica distintos tipos de intercambio colaborativo. Se examinaron 11 díadas de estudiantes universitarios. Los resultados muestran diferencias muy significativas entre las seis tareas en lo que hace al patrón sociocognitivo, sobre todo entre las tareas lógico-inteligentes y las tareas abiertas o interpretativas. Finalmente, hay diferencias muy notorias en la evaluación metacognitiva que hacen los participantes del grado de dificultad e interés de cada tarea.

Maximizing the Benefits of Collaborative Learning in the College Classroom

January 2013 (has links)
abstract: This study tested the effects of two kinds of cognitive, domain-based preparation tasks on learning outcomes after engaging in a collaborative activity with a partner. The collaborative learning method of interest was termed "preparing-to-interact," and is supported in theory by the Preparation for Future Learning (PFL) paradigm and the Interactive-Constructive-Active-Passive (ICAP) framework. The current work combined these two cognitive-based approaches to design collaborative learning activities that can serve as alternatives to existing methods, which carry limitations and challenges. The "preparing-to-interact" method avoids the need for training students in specific collaboration skills or guiding/scripting their dialogic behaviors, while providing the opportunity for students to acquire the necessary prior knowledge for maximizing their discussions towards learning. The study used a 2x2 experimental design, investigating the factors of Preparation (No Prep and Prep) and Type of Activity (Active and Constructive) on deep and shallow learning. The sample was community college students in introductory psychology classes; the domain tested was "memory," in particular, concepts related to the process of remembering/forgetting information. Results showed that Preparation was a significant factor affecting deep learning, while shallow learning was not affected differently by the interventions. Essentially, equalizing time-on-task and content across all conditions, time spent individually preparing by working on the task alone and then discussing the content with a partner produced deeper learning than engaging in the task jointly for the duration of the learning period. Type of Task was not a significant factor in learning outcomes, however, exploratory analyses showed evidence of Constructive-type behaviors leading to deeper learning of the content. Additionally, a novel method of multilevel analysis (MLA) was used to examine the data to account for the dependency between partners within dyads. This work showed that "preparing-to-interact" is a way to maximize the benefits of collaborative learning. When students are first cognitively prepared, they seem to make the most efficient use of discussion towards learning, engage more deeply in the content during learning, leading to deeper knowledge of the content. Additionally, in using MLA to account for subject nonindependency, this work introduces new questions about the validity of statistical analyses for dyadic data. / Dissertation/Thesis / Ph.D. Educational Psychology 2013

To accomplish this analysis, we seek the Bakhtinian studies (2000, 2009), about the genres, as well as studies of Marchuschi (2008) on the virtual genres. In addition, we rely on the contributions of Pierre Lévy (2010) about the Ciberculture phenomenon. Then we conducted the analysis of the corpus, in order to observe the elements that contribute to building a meaningful textual practice. The studies carried have shown that the participation of students in virtual spaces can favor the real communication processes, learner autonomy in developing the use of language, the use of the practice of representation of social roles, and finally, the use of instruments be able to overcome the boundaries of physical space of the classroom. We recognize also that an approach mediated work with genres / discursive humanizes the relationships within the classroom and outside it, as it brings with it the concern of conceiving language as not only a system with rules, structures and uses, but as something that is a community, a culture. / O presente trabalho teve por objetivo tornar a prática da leitura e da escrita uma atividade significativa, através da produção textual de gêneros discursivos virtuais, com destaque para construção colaborativa de um blog, identificando a emergência de um estilo pessoal na produção textual escrita, possibilitando o estudo dos aspectos estilísticos dos textos informativos disseminados no mundo midiático. Para empreendermos esta análise, buscamos os estudos bakhtinianos (2000, 2009), acerca dos gêneros discursivos, bem como os estudos de Marchuschi (2008), sobre os gêneros textuais virtuais. Além disso, contamos com as contribuições de Pierre Lévy (2010) acerca do fenômeno da Cibercultura. Em seguida, realizamos a análise do corpus, a fim de observar os elementos que concorrem para construção de uma prática textual significativa. Os estudos realizados demonstraram que a participação dos alunos em espaços virtuais pode favorecer os processos de comunicação real, de autonomia do aluno em desenvolver o uso da língua, da utilização da prática de representação de papéis sociais, e por fim, da utilização de instrumentos que sejam capazes de ultrapassar as fronteiras do espaço físico da sala de aula. Podemos reconhecer, ainda, que uma abordagem mediada pelo trabalho com os gêneros textuais/discursivos humaniza as relações no espaço na sala de aula e fora dele, já que traz em si a preocupação de conceber a língua não apenas como um sistema com regras, estruturas e usos, mas como algo que representa uma comunidade, uma cultura.
