Avalie-me: uma ferramenta de apoio à identificação de defasagem de conteúdos.

Abstract

Education is so broad that it resorts to other fields of science to be efficient in its purpose, it is one of the main pillars for the development of a nation, however, in Brazil, it has many structural difficulties, among them the content gap, in which Students advance through grades without having all the necessary knowledge. This is one of the main challenges that educators across the country face, identifying gaps and overcoming them. The research, of an investigative and experimental character, had the general objective of developing a tool to support teachers in the identification of content gaps, through diagnostic evaluation through a web solution. And as specific objectives: a) to identify the theoretical subsidies of the Theory of Meaningful Learning (TAS) used in the methodological strategy of Reis (2019); b) develop a web software based on the prototype developed by Reis (2019), which integrates the methodology for identifying insufficient content; and c) validate the software created by means of an evaluation carried out by an expert. Based on David Ausubel's theory of meaningful learning, it was possible to learn about the principle of sequential organization of content to identify the natural links of existing content in a given discipline, recognize those that are potentially relatable, and thus identify content lag. Whose technological contribution was found in the construction of a web system, through the resources of the PHP programming language. In our research we used a qualitative approach, and of an applied nature. Through a literary review about the ausuberian theory and technologies for building web software. The result achieved in this work was the identification of the theoretical subsidies of the TAS and the conclusion of the development of the “Avalie-me” tool and its validation by specialists in the area.
