Desenvolvimento de animação educativa para simulação de erosão em solos

Abstract

This research was conducted at the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology Amapá (IFAP / Campus Macapa) in 2013, twenty-five students of the Technical Course in Mining, regular middle level, who attended the first series of the course. The teacherresearcher was part of the group studied and aimed to develop an educational animation through a graphical tool for simulation of erosion in soils using Adobe Flash Player program, seeking to help the students not only in understanding and mastery of the proposed content but mainly in developing their ability to use information and communication technologies in their learning process. The reference base of this research was meaningful learning by David Ausubel, in order to check the success of the proposal through the construction of graphic animation and knowledge related to the theme. The research was implemented ethnographic, and nature as the qualitative and quantitative methodology, applying questionnaires and making the record of activities. Data were graphed and analyzed, observing that the activity provided enabled the use of computational tools, generating positive prospects in meaningful learning of students, expanding your range of expertise, serving as support for further knowledge.
