Desenvolvimento de uma comunidade virtual para a inserção da metodologia blended learning na Educação Básica

Abstract

In the present work, we present the development of a virtual learning community, based on the TPACK model, which offer formation in order for basic school teachers incorporate the blended-learning methodology in their school activities. The work was organized in two dimensions. In the research dimension, we performed an investigation of descriptive-exploratory character on the use of the Virtual Learning Environment (Ambiente Virtual de Aprendizagem – AVA) on attendance k-12, including documental analysis and comparative study. The documental analysis was done with publications from 2009 to 2014, using the Capes periodical portal and Scholar Google. For the comparative study, we investigated the available AVAs for the installation without acquisition cost, which present free code, offer versions in Portuguese and periodic updates, being applied in the interactionist/constructivist systemic model proposed by Schlemmer and Fagundes. The result of the analysis showed that the AVA Moodle is the most indicated for usage in education for presenting more resources and compatibility in the three researched areas, according to the adopted model. In the development project, we created the community denominated Landell Community, which offers orientation for different uses of tools and resources: forms of configuring virtual spaces for learning and examples of didactic sequences to be used by the teachers in K-12.
