Abstract(s)
Vivemos numa época de massificação das tecnologias de informação e
comunicação. Esta massificação tem vindo a alterar o modo como comunicamos, como
acedemos e produzimos informação e, consequentemente, o processo de ensinoaprendizagem.
As aprendizagens ocorrem, cada vez mais, para lá do espaço e tempos
escolares. Neste contexto, um desafio da escola atual vai no sentido de usar a tecnologia
disponível como um instrumento que torne os conteúdos mais atrativos, compreensíveis
e motivadores e, desta forma, promova as aprendizagens.
No que concerne ao ensino de redes informáticas, esta evolução tecnológica,
aliada a uma forte componente abstrata dos conteúdos abordados e aos
constrangimentos com recursos, que impossibilita a disponibilização dos laboratórios de
informática desejáveis, dificultam uma aprendizagem ativa, eficaz e independente de
conteúdos revestidos de uma forte componente prática.
Assim, este relatório procura, por um lado, descrever experiências pedagógicas
desenvolvidas ao longo do nosso percurso profissional e, por outro, dar um contributo
no sentido de ultrapassar alguns dos constrangimentos elencados, através de um estudo
de caso, com uma turma do primeiro ano do curso profissional de Técnico de
Audiovisuais da Escola Profissional Amar Terra Verde, no âmbito da lecionação do
módulo de Redes e Protocolos da disciplina de Sistemas de Informação Multimédia.
Neste estudo foi utilizado um simulador de redes da Cisco (Packet Tracer) cujos
resultados nos levam a constatar o impacto significativo no robustecimento da estrutura
cognitiva da maior parte dos alunos, evidenciado que o uso deste tipo de software
poderá contribuir para uma aprendizagem significativa, atendendo a uma metodologia
de cariz construtivista.
We live in a time of widespread use of information and communication technologies. This massive spread has been changing the way we communicate, how we access and produce information and, consequently, the teaching-learning process. The acquisition of knowledge occurs increasingly beyond school place and school time. Therefore, the challenge of the present-day school goes towards the use of the available technology as a tool that makes the most attractive, intelligible and motivating contents. With regard to the teaching of computer networks, this technological development, combined with a strong abstract component of the approached contents and with the resources constraints, which prevents the availability of the computer labs we want, hinders an active and efficient learning, independent from the contents lined by a strong practical component. Thus, this report aims, on the one hand, to describe the teaching experience developed during our professional path and, on the other hand, to help overcoming some of the listed constraints, through a study case, with a first year class of the vocational course, Audio-visual Technician, from Vocational School Amar Terra Verde, within the Networks and Protocols module of the discipline Multimedia Information Systems. This study used a Cisco network simulator (Packet Tracer) whose results lead us to realize the significant impact on strengthening the cognitive structure of most students, showing that the use of this kind of software may be built for a meaningful learning, in response to a constructivist-oriented methodology.
