Desenvolvimento de um aplicativo educacional para visita técnica: uma proposta para aplicação no ensino médio integrado

Abstract

The Federal Institutes aim to offer Professional and Technological Education, at all levels and modalities, training and qualifying individuals for professional performance in various sectors of the economy. Integrated High School is one of the teaching modalities offered at these institutions, which use various pedagogical practices in the teaching and learning process. Among these, there is the realization of technical visits, which give students the opportunity to combine theory with practice, allowing direct experience with the labor market, in addition to contributing to the pedagogical didactic complementation of the subjects. This study aimed to analyze the procedures used at the Federal Institute of Mato Grosso of the South to promote technical visits. The study was qualitative, involving the steps: 1 - Bibliographic research: non-systematic searches and readings of publications on topics related to application development and technical visits at EMI; 2 - Teachers' perception: application of a questionnaire to teachers to analyze their conceptions in relation to the technical visit as a pedagogical resource; 3 – Educational application development: describes details about the choice and development of informational software, about student/teacher/student interaction and list of company/institution available for visitation; 4 - Questionnaire analysis: describes the methodologies used to analyze the questionnaires applied to teachers. In general, the application of the questionnaire indicated that the teachers understand the importance of the technical visit as a methodological resource, however, there were reports emphasizing that the execution is tiring and very laborious. All professors who answered the questionnaire reported that an educational application could help organize and carry out a technical visit. Regarding the developed and applied application, there was the damage caused by Covid-19, which made it impossible to use it in a real visit. However, the testing carried out indicated that the application is interesting and has features that facilitate the execution of technical visits.
