Aprendizagem significativa como alicerce para metodologias ativas no ensino de ciências: uma interlocução em prol da educação de jovens e adultos
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2021-03) AUGUSTINHO, Elizabeth; VIEIRA, Valéria da Silva
The article presents reflections on how the education of young people and adults can be reframed, in the search for an active participation of the student, in which he is the protagonist and subject of his learning. It highlights the importance of teacher training to work in this type of teaching. This is a bibliographic, descriptive research, based on the experience in the classroom and through the reading of vast bibliographic material, which motivated the deepening of the theme, prioritizing reference authors, such as: Freire, Ausubel, Moran, Chassot. In addition to presenting fundamental concepts related to meaningful learning, the importance of active methodologies is highlighted, which can become effective strategies for meaningful learning in science in youth and adult education.

Avaliação da aprendizagem: uma abordagem qualitativa baseada em mapas conceituais, ontologias e algoritmos genéticos
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2007-05-18) ROCHA, Francisco Edson Lopes da; FAVERO, Eloi Luiz; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1497269209026542
In the last two decades, the development of areas such as Computer Networks and Artificial Intelligence (AI) has favored the growth of other areas of knowledge, like Education. In this area, new discoveries have changed the focus of research from old behaviorist educational theories to constructivism, leading to a better understanding of how learning occurs. Meaningful Learning (ML) is a constructivist theory in evidence nowadays and the Concept Map (CM) is its main cognitive tool. Additionally, the recent developments on Distance Learning (DL) have made it possible to apply the educational process in a larger scale. In this thesis, automatic learning assessment mediated by concept maps is investigated. This is related to a qualitative approach, named as formative assessment, which is compliant with Bloom’s model, a reference for educational processes - teaching, learning, and learning assessment. The proposal presented in this thesis is seen as an alternative solution to an important issue in the area of Education: how to evaluate learning qualitatively, respecting each student’s cognitive processes? The integration of concept maps, domain ontologies, and genetic algorithms allows for advances in automatic learning assessment and assistance. The paradigm of mere quantitative assessment is broken, and a new approach to gradual and continuous assistance in learning is presented. Following this approach, it is possible to accompany students individually, respecting their idiosyncratic ways of learning, and also to group students based on specific cognitive characteristics or development degrees. This thesis begins a new research area, which can be synthesized as "Automatic qualitative assessment of learning centered in Concept Maps, based on AI techniques: ontologies and genetic algorithms". In this new research area, the thesis originated the following contributions: ² a prototype of an environment designed to aid teaching, learning, and learning assessment, founded upon Meaningful Learning, encompassing a concept map editor, an ontology editor, and an assessment module; ² A proposal concerning the use of genetic algorithms and ontologies in qualitative assessment/ assistance of learning, allowing for: – step-by-step individual assistance; – assistance to groups of students; – comparisons among students. Domain ontologies are generated by the teacher, who uses an ontology editor provided by the environment. They comprise the structural knowledge that must be learned by students before they can manage other forms of knowledge. The genetic algorithm was designed to run in two distinct modes: i) generating multiple CMs to compare with the student’s CM, allowing for learning assessment at any moment of the course; this assessment is relative, centered in a determined number of concepts which represent a partial structure of knowledge domain being studied.; and ii) generating an optimal CM according to the ontology created by the teacher, to permit a complete assessment of the learning of the knowledge domain which was studied. The proposed model was evaluated by the implementation of prototypes for the assessment tool. The genetic algorithm developed uses the ontologies as its search spaces. It emulates meaningful learning cognitive processes, and constructs CMs that can be semantically compared to that of the student. Its fitness function represents a way of measuring distances in the cognitive field, being the measurement unit given by a taxonomy that organizes semantic dimensions and, inside these, linking phrases. This taxonomy is used by teachers when they construct their ontologies, and by students when they construct their concept maps. The main challenges faced in the development of the research reported in this thesis were: 1) definition of a domain ontology model that could be applied to learning assessment; 2) definition of a method and a scale that could be applied to the cognitive domain; and 3) definition of a search mechanism in the ontology in accordance with constructivist theories of learning assessment. The research described in this thesis can be further developed with new functionalities or improvements in functionalities already implemented. Some possibilities are suggested in the end of the thesis, the main of which being the deployment of the environment in the Internet. This thesis has generated 7 (seven) scientific contributions, 1 (one) in a qualis A magazine, 1 (one) in a qualis B magazine, 2 (two) in international congresses, and 3(three) in national congresses. The results of this research advance what has already been attained by the AmAm/UFPA research group, in whose context this thesis is inserted.

(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2021-03) SOUZA, Camila Vianna de; SILVA, Tiago Dionísio da
The work aims to present the reality of the contemporary educational context of Youth and Adult Education (EJA) to understand students as subjects and objects in the teaching-learning process, that is, the reality, the places of experiences, their routines and their references cultural. In this way, teachers can organize and plan the curriculum so that the construction of knowledge has meaning and meaning in the lives of students. The research also presents an analysis of the curricular structure of the Geography discipline in the Youth and Adult Education (EJA) modality in the municipality of Duque de Caxias, RJ. The discussions in this article point to the need to reconfigure the school curriculum of that municipality and the relevance of working with the contents based on the students' socio-spatial practices, as this way students can (re) know themselves within their reality, enabling meaningful learning, making the student the subject of the didactic-pedagogical process in Geography.

Experimentação investigativa com a música corporal: ensino e aprendizagem interdisciplinar no Clube de Ciências Prof. Dr. Cristovam W. P. Diniz
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2022-06-29) GUEDES, Marina Donza; MALHEIRO, João Manoel da Silva; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7502225344402729; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2495-7806
This study aimed to analyze the possibility of using Body Music in the stages of the Investigative Teaching Sequence (SEI), based on the work of Carvalho et al. (2009), with theoretical support in Ausubel's meaningful learning. The research participants were 6 professors from the Science Club Prof. Dr. Cristovam W. P. Diniz, located at UFPA – Campus Castanhal. The research was developed from a Body Music workshop given by the author to stimulate the teachers' perception of the sounds of their bodies, as well as to identify the limits and possibilities of investigative experimentation with Body Music in the interdisciplinary teaching formation of the Science Club. Prof. Dr. Cristovam W. P. Diniz. For that, a case study was used as a qualitative method for the constitution of information, supported by the theoretical and methodological assumptions of the participant research. The workshop was carried out through Google Meet, lasting four hours, organized in two synchronous meetings on alternate days and one hour of asynchronous experimental activities sent by WhatsApp. In the asynchronous meetings, questionnaires with open and closed questions were made available to survey the impressions and possibilities of implementing Body Music in the Science Club. From the technique of data collection by indirect observation called primary source, it was possible to observe the importance of Body Music for teacher training as a stimulus to creativity, expression, perception of oneself and the other. The sounds extracted from the bodies by touch, beats, chants and whistles led to highlight the approach and accessibility of music for science teaching. As it is a device common to everyday life, it can contribute in an interdisciplinary way by allowing the approximation between science and art in the Science Club. Through the study carried out and the pedagogical suggestions presented by the participating teachers, it was possible to understand that Body Music can help and foster the educational process in the Science Club as an integral part in the construction of the individual, in stimulating investigative experimentation with their body. in the creation of improvised music, spontaneity and in the discovery of artistic skills. The interdisciplinarity that is present in SEI's pedagogical proposal is fundamental for the interaction between science and art and music and science.

Guia para formação de professores: adaptação de música regional para aulas de trompa com iniciantes
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2024-03-28) LOUZADA, Jaqueline Wailse Lira; DINIZ, André Monteiro; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5064351890235151; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4895-7421
This work presents the "Musical Adaptation Guide for Horn Teachers in Training," a manual of adaptations of regional music for beginners. This educational product emerged as a proposal to address the challenges in music education, especially in the context of horn teaching, where there is a significant presence of teaching materials and repertoires of European origin. These materials, often from other countries and unfamiliar to students and their communities, do not take into account their cultural and regional specificities. This practice needs to be discussed in the training of horn teachers to promote the development of new approaches by them. The scarcity of resources that integrate local culture limits students' access to a potentially representative and meaningful music education. Developed within the Graduate Program in Creativity and Innovation in Higher Education Methodologies (PPGCIMES) at the Federal University of Pará (UFPA), with an emphasis on Methodological Innovations in Higher Education (INOVAMES), the resulting product aims to address these shortcomings, particularly the lack of adaptations of regional music from the Brazilian Amazon for beginners. The methodology involved a bibliographic research on the challenges and perspectives in horn teaching in Brazil, the literature used for teaching, and the influence of musical heritage on horn learning. It is based on Ausubel's (2003) theories of meaningful learning and Quijano's (2015) decolonial approach, as well as the analysis of idiomatic elements present in works written by horn players, as discussed by Matosinhos (2021). Additionally, an analysis of Pedagogical Course Projects (PPCs) from the Federal University of Pará (UFPA), the State Institute Carlos Gomes (IECG), and the State University of Pará (UEPA) was conducted. Subsequently, the educational product was developed and implemented, along with interviews with teachers and students to validate the proposed musical adaptations. The results highlight the potential of the developed educational product to equip both trainee and practicing teachers, providing a practical and accessible tool for teacher training and a music education that incorporates local culture. Furthermore, it is evident that the developed material serves as a resource for teachers in training, assisting them in integrating local cultural elements into their teaching, thus promoting a more contextualized and meaningful music education.

(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2020-05-08) LIMA, Árllon Chaves; ELIASQUEVICI, Marianne Kogut; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6655468164115415; DINIZ, Marcos Monteiro
This thesis presents the conception of a teaching and learning methodology for introductory subjects to programming, entitled 7Cs Methodology, composed of seven dimensions (Understanding, Conceiving, Completing, Compatibilizing, Correcting, Building and Creating) and which aims to facilitate the learning process of the basic contents of algorithms, in order to minimize difficulties of undergraduate students of courses that include introductory subjects to programming, subjects that are often held responsible for high retention and dropout rates in undergraduate courses in the area of Technology and Information. The conception of such a methodology was based on the principles of Ausubel's Meaningful Learning Theory (2000) and was initially inspired by Campos' work (2010). Participant observations were held in two different undergraduate courses at the Federal University of Pará (UFPA) and a pilot test in the Algorithm Leveling Program (PNA – Portuguese acronym) at the same university. Then, from the observations and data obtained, the methodology was applied in the subject Algorithms, from the Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, also at UFPA. It was verified the possibility of using the methodology in a flexible way, with feasibility, both in leveling courses and in the subject of Algorithms at the undergraduate level. Observed elements indicated the potential of the 7Cs Methodology to assist in reducing difficulties in understanding the basic concepts and in the development of skills associated with algorithm subjects, with the verification, throughout the applications, of more active involvement of students and the development of specific skills related to the construction of algorithms. Finally, a Guidance Material was prepared, with a brief description of the 7Cs Methodology and examples of possible ways of its application, to illustrate its principles and assist teachers interested in using it.

Para falar de águas: almanaque para o ensino das ciências ambientais
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2024-09-10) NUNES, Elen Rosa dos Reis; KETTLE, Wesley Oliveira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9421187953739248
Water is essential to life and although it is a renewable natural element, it needs to be considered a limited resource, as it is at risk of scarcity due to growing environmental degradation, which affects the quality of life in cities, such as on the outskirts, where people have difficulty accessing it. With a view to deepening the debate on the subject, the general aim of this dissertation is to create an interactive almanac entitled “Waters: a path of discovery”, aimed at students in the 4th year of elementary school, for teaching environmental sciences in everyday school life. The specific objectives were: to debate the relationship between water and the city over time; to discuss the main theoretical approaches to the almanac as an educational resource for meaningful learning; to analyze the construction of the almanac in its stages, taking into account the specificities of 4th grade students in the Early Years of Elementary School; to validate the almanac prepared as a technical pedagogical product from the perspective of the students participating in the research. Considering the environmental and educational field, a qualitative methodology was used, with an exploratory and descriptive approach. As a result, it was observed that the children who came into contact with the almanac showed greater interest in the subject of water and significantly deepened the environmental debate. It should be emphasized that talking about water requires talking about the relationship between nature and society and its problems, such as guaranteeing human rights, especially for children, access to drinking water, basic sanitation, environmental racism, among others; these issues need to be widely debated in order to build sustainability, citizenship and solidarity.

(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2020-09-28) OLIVEIRA, Fransuze dos Santos; LOPES, Suzana Cunha; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9267654589941610
This work aimed to design a prototype of an interactive platform that facilitates the use of the Project Based Learning (ABPj) approach in higher education. As theoretical references, we are based on studies and reflections on conceptions and principles of Project-Based Learning, Active, Meaningful and Collaborative Learning, theories about the construction of knowledge from experience, interaction with others and with the world, the autonomy of the educating, throughout its metacognition process. For the construction of the prototype, qualitative research was carried out, with the creation of instruments and workshops to build the product's functionalities. Among the most relevant points are the understanding of the applicability of the ABPj approach, the critical points from the perspective of teachers and students and which are the most important functionalities, in addition to the construction of specific tools for planning and monitoring the approach. Another important point was the realization of courses on the ABPj approach to enable its understanding and application in a clear way, with the visualization of a step by step and, thus, the systematization of teaching from the approach in question. As a result of the research, it was possible to obtain a) the identification of critical points for the application of the ABPj approach; b) the systematization of teaching and assessment planning in the ABPj approach; c) the construction of a platform prototype, including screens and functionalities, which, as an interactive tool, contemplates the systematization of the previous item. The main conclusions are: a) the application ABPj, as a teaching and assessment approach, requires a clear understanding of teachers and students and, therefore, the organization of the teaching-learning process is fundamental; b) the platform as a digital tool will allow data collection that will serve as a basis for countless analyzes, making the teaching, evaluation and learning process a living system in constant improvement based on the identification of the results of previous practices.

O uso de princípios de metodologias ativas em oficina de formação continuada e integração de equipes sociopsicopedagógicas da assistência estudantil das IFES
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2022-07-25) NASCIMENTO, Adriana Maria Gomes do; MIRANDA, Fernanda Chocron; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3101500469419928; http://orcid.org/0000-0002-1774-6402; DINIZ, Marcos Monteiro; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7813719832858592
This dissertation reports a professional master's research in the area of Teaching. It is composed by a theoretical-methodological part that guides the research and the other discusses the proposal of the study that we developed and resulted in the educational product, proposal for the structure of a continuing education workshop for the sociopsychopedagogical team of student assistance. The general objective of the study was the development of a creative and innovative educational instrument that could foster the process of continuous and integrated training of social workers, psychologists and pedagogues who are part of sociopsychopedagogical teams, who work in student assistance at federal institutions of higher education. The proposal arose from preliminary bibliographic studies that found the lack of materials and guidelines that could contribute to the orientation of the work carried out by the sociopsychopedagogical teams, since it is still considered a relatively new area of activity. For this purpose, the main conceptual axes used were: principles of active methodologies; educational instruments and technologies; meaningful learning; continuing education and integration; creativity and; innovation. The product proposal consisted of carrying out a workshop with a multidisciplinary team that works at the Student Assistance Superintendence - SAEST of the Federal University of Pará - UFPA. In the methodology, the research site and the resources needed to carry out the workshop were detailed, which was carried out in a remote format, so that it could meet both the norms of social isolation due to the New Coronavirus pandemic and facilitate the participation of professionals that work in Student Assistance on the UFPA campuses, which are located in the interior of Pará. Each hour of 30 hours was divided into: asynchronous activities and three synchronous meetings. The workshop, based on the principles of active methodologies, enabled professional reflection in a teaching-learning context, where it can be negotiated and discussed dialogically among the senses, arguments, positions, thoughts, which contribute to the process of personal construction and interpersonal of the team, based on the multiplicity of versions on the themes addressed chosen by the participants themselves. Although this educational product cannot solve all the training and integration problems of socio-psycho-pedagogical teams on its own, it proved itself capable, during the pilot test, of contributing to the teaching-learning process, in the construction and in the strengthening of knowledge, through reflections on professional practices and which roles currently circumscribe Student Assistance. It should be noted that the product has the potential for germination and can be applied to other training contexts that have objectives similar to those indicated in this study, provided that the necessary adaptations are made.
