Manutenção e instalação de computadores: uma proposta de ensino e aprendizagem na perspectiva da educação indígena

Abstract

This research presents a proposal for teaching and learning content related to the maintenance and installation of computers. It is aimed especially at helping students of technical courses in computer science in an indigenous context. It aims to enhance the development of skills so that students can diagnose problems, identify possible causes, and propose solutions. It was developed using the active methodology of Problem-Based Learning, aided by a learning guide, visual and digital resources, and an evaluative rubric. The proposal was validated by an Ad hoc committee, composed of professionals in the areas of design, computing, and speakers of the Nheengatu indigenous language, who evaluated the proposal for its applicability. The analysis was performed using a Likert scale and the content analysis method for qualitative analysis. In the analysis process, the items evaluated refer to the design (Infographics, Typography, Color palette and Visual elements); informatics (applicability of the proposal through the learning scripts, learning outcomes, content covered, tasks and evaluation, being arranged as to the clarity and pertinence of the item) and the indigenous language (writing and visual elements). As for the results, the Design category showed more variance, with the infographics and typography elements being the main aspects to be adjusted in the proposal. The Computer category involved adjustments for spelling, textual changes, and elaboration of questions that stimulate the student to understand and interpret the activities. The Indigenous Language category, on the other hand, took into account mainly the arrangement of words in a concise manner. Through this research it was generated an educational product called: Maintenance and Installation of Computers in an Indigenous Perspective: didactic guide for teachers", which has as its main focus to help teachers in the pedagogical performance in computer maintenance disciplines, mainly in an indigenous teaching and learning context, aiming to contribute so that students can diagnose problems, their possible causes and develop solutions.
