Escrita colaborativa no ensino da computação: o uso da Wikiversidade como estratégia de aprendizagem

Abstract

With all the technological advances and all their modernity, some educational institutions are still using essentially the same teaching and learning strategies to try to engage students in the learning process. We know that this is not about ignoring our existing teaching structures and means, but rather that we can insert and adapt different ways of learning, in a flexible and knowledge-sharing way. In educational contexts, working with the Wikiversity platform enables the collaborative production of educational resources among teachers and students, disseminating knowledge and research in an accessible and free way. The goal of the work was to investigate that, by using collaborative writing on Wikiversity, it is possible to make information available generating open educational resources, as well as to use this activity as a tool for teaching and learning. In view of this, we decided to report on an experience with a group of students in the Distance Education curricular unit in the Undergraduate and Bachelor courses in Computer Science at the Federal Rural University of Pernambuco. The meetings took place remotely due to the Covid-19 pandemic, where we set goals. During these, there was interaction with the platform’s tools, discussions of the contributions the group hoped to make, and elaboration of collaborative writing on Wikiversity.At the end of the course it was possible to notice that Wikiversity can be used as a teaching tool with a differential through collaborative writing. We concluded this phase of action research by reflecting on the issues involved and the processes that triggered it.
