Elaboração de uma série didática - MOOCs no eixo tecnológico de produção cultural e design

Abstract

This research addresses the issue of MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses), an open educational tool, available in virtual educational environments. In this perspective, the objective of this work is the production of a didactic series in the form of MOOCs, emphasizing the benefits provided by the use of this type of resource for the provision of educational contents, in the form of courses and mini-courses, in a teaching institution. Some questions were guiding the proposal: How can concepts and content presented in the classroom be made available in a virtual environment? What kind of technology could be used to propose an innovative methodology to be implemented to reinforce the concepts presented? In what way is it possible to improve the learning process in order to reinforce more complex concepts presented in the classroom? The research has as theoretical contributions BATES (2017), FILATRO & CAIRO (2015) and TAROUCO (2014). From the conception of Tony Bates are presented the common characteristics that define a MOOC and the different styles of production, related to the way the educational content will be made available to the student. Andrea Filatro makes a contribution in relation to the production process of educational contents and Liane Tarouco makes a theoretical and practical approach on Learning Objects, essential subjects for the development of this research. The research development locus is a public institution of high school, technical and superior, the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Rio Grande do Norte (IFRN), Campus Natal - Cidade Alta. The referred IFRN's technological axes are: "Cultural Production and Design" and "Hospitality, Tourism and Leisure". The production of MOOCs related to the contents and concepts presented in the technical disciplines of the courses offered by IFRN allows students the opportunity to review and deepen the subjects covered during the disciplines belonging to this technological axis. As a result, this research produced a didactic series of six courses, made available in the Google Courses virtual environment and detailed the production process, anchored in the multidimensional perspective defended by the authors Filatro and Cairo. Thus, it was possible to see the nuances and the importance of all the elements that were addressed in each stage of the work, from the context analysis to the final evaluation.
