Curso de introdução ao processamento e à interpretação de imagens Sentinel-1: guia didático para professores

Abstract

This educational product was developed aiming at supporting teachers from high level courses related to Environmental areas to teach elementary techniques of image processing and interpretation from Sentinel-1 Radar. It was developed as part of a research project from the Master Course in Technological Teaching (MPET) and is based on Project-Based Learning, Constructive Alignment and Blended Learning. Such background encourages autonomous learning, real world problem solving and resources organization to promote learning both in classroom and beyond it. From this educational product the teachers get directions on how to promote such course in modules whose didactic goals, contents and activities form a complexity gradient that favors students’ learning. Besides that, in each module, the teacher is advised on how to: select and organize the theoretical concepts; organize classroom; identify which are the minimum technological resources required to carry out the proposed activities; and follow pedagogical guidelines related to such part of the course. The educational product excels in the use of clear language and didactic structure, without losing sight of the rigorous aspects required to learn Sentinel-1 Radar image processing and interpretation techniques.
