Arquitetura de software voltada para a avaliação contínua do processo de ensino aprendizagem

Abstract

This work has the objective of a structure, a description and a validity of a software architecture. This architecture has an ability to enable the construction of new tools. These new tools aim to perform a continuous assessment of performance throughout the teaching-learning process. Through a research of exploratory nature and in order to validate a proposed software architecture, a case study composed of three situations was carried out. This case study was carried out in the 1st year classes of the computer science course of the Lajes Advanced Campus of the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Rio Grande do Norte (IFRN). This case study addresses the subject of the exponential functions of the mathematics discipline 1. Soon after the teacher teaches the subject of exponential functions, an assessment composed of only a single objective question was constructed and made available to a class during an expository class. Then, these students responded to an assessment in question, allowing the teacher to generate a brief report on the performance of the class in relation to the content addressed in the classroom. Once in possession of data, the teacher was able to decide whether to carry out a revision regarding the matter given or to develop his discipline. In a case study situation, the teacher noted that he may have told the development of his discipline. However, in what concerns a study of the content addressed, since classes had a very low performance. This process is created through the use of a skeletal system developed based on the proposed software architecture. The built system was implemented through the use of web technologies on the Internet. In this way, this system is more accessible to students, through a notebook, tablet, smartphone or any other device that allows access to the Internet. It can be said that it is a way of providing a better direction in relation to those taught during teacher's classes. After the validation process of the software architecture, the generated data were collected, analyzed and described. Finally, we draw conclusions drawn from the construction of the work and some proposals and development materials developed in future works.
