Desenvolvimento de um objeto de aprendizagem para ensino da língua portuguesa

Abstract

Introduction: According to the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA), a program developed by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), Brazil ranks 59th in the world education ranking. Through a study carried out byPISA in 2015, the students had low performance, with an average of 407 points, where the ideal score would be 698. Another worrying factor is that according to the Ministry of Education (MEC), students finish elementary school unable to read and write properly. According to the Basic Education Development Index (IDEB), the level of learning in the sixth to ninth grade has not improved sufficiently, over the years this level has been decreasing. The Federal Government has invested in education, where it distributed more than 600 thousand tablets in all public schools in Brazil, with the idea of modernizing, and preparing students for the future. This is a small laptop computer, which already comes with software to prepare the student for the National High School Examination (ENEM), these tablets are also used as a support material for classes by teachers and students. In view of these problems, government investments, and the students' access to this technology, has the proposal of developing a Learning Object (OA), seeking to improve teaching and evaluation method, providing greater student interest and automation of the teachers' work.Objective: this work aims to build a Learning Object, in the form of a game, in order to motivate and help the students of the sixth year in learning the Portuguese language. Methodology: in the development of the tool followed a five-step process that occurred in a sequential manner: 1. Determine the subject to be treated in OA; 2. Raise system requirements; 3. Define the proposed system architecture; 4. Develop OA and 5. Validate OA.Results: The learning object was validated with fifteen students at the Cônego Torres school in Serra Talhada -PE. The OA contributed to the students' learning, as they were more interested in learning using the tool and were able to improve their knowledge. The initial median of the students was 7.0 before they used the OA, median calculated on top of each student's grades. After using the OA, the median of the students increasedto 9.0 with a positive result, improving students' learning.Conclusion: it was concluded that expectations were met, both for the students and the teachers who were satisfied, because the tool had a huge contribution in the students' learning, the students were motivated more to learn through the game,and the same complemented the teaching work. Students learned the content easily. OAs are still poorly used in schools, but we conclude that they can be present in the student's daily life, serving as a complement to the subjects studied in the classroom.
