Apoio computacional para a mediação pedagógica em debate de teses

Abstract

The advent of digital culture has brought new possibilities of interaction and communication between users, promoting the increase of these exchanges and also the increase of the data produced by them. Following this new perspective, interactions in virtual environments for teaching and learning are recorded to enable the teacher to (re)visit the areas and productions of each student seeking information to help them in various ways. Architectures Pedagogic present as a possibility of organizing these interactions, especially Pedagogical Architecture "Debate of Theses" which proposes a flow of interactions, performed by producing texts, to support the construction of knowledge of those who participate. However, analyzing this significant volume of information shows up as a challenge for the teacher. In view of this, we carried out a survey of educational mediations that can be performed along with the Pedagogical Architecture "Debate of Theses". To facilitate the implementation of these mediations, we elaborated a proposal for computer support, based on a multi-agent system architecture, in order to support the teacher in the analysis of the information produced in the proposed interactions for Pedagogical Architecture "Debate of Theses" in order to provide that the identified pedagogical mediations are practiced. The validation of the proposal is to implement the computational prototype of the solution, and application of this prototype to a real case for data collection. The collected data were analyzed and the results obtained from this analysis provide evidence that the proposed solution provides grants to improve the process of pedagogical mediation with the Pedagogical Architecture "Debate of Theses".
