M-learning e realidade virtual aplicados ao ensino técnico de agropecuária

Abstract

This Project is a research about the potentialities of M-Learning (mobile learning) and Virtual Reality in the technical course in Farming, considering that these technological tools can enhance the teaching-learning process in the Amazon, geographic area where it is located the Campus Tefé. Technological tools can be used to solve difficulties of access to the study site, bringing the student closer to the experiment to be approached, considering that the use of virtual tours in Virtual Reality environments through mobile devices is already a reality lived in education. This project has delimitation the use of mobile technologies, especially smartphones and the use of Immersive Virtual Reality in the technical high school course in Farming from the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Amazonas - Campus Tefé. The object of this project is to contribute to the teaching-learning process of the subjects of the technical high school course in Farming, in its several grades, through the use of the concepts of M-Learning and Virtual Reality. Its specific objects are: Apply the concept of mobile learning in the subjects of the technical course in Farming of IFAM - Campus Tefé; Apply an immersive virtual reality mobile application to the students of the technical course in Farming of IFAM - Campus Tefé; To investigate the impacts of Immersive Virtual Reality through a virtual environment and low cost VR glasses in the technical course in Farming of IFAM - Campus Tefé. The theoretical framework of this research presumes that the use of M-Learning and Virtual Reality can be placed in the teaching process of learning in agriculture courses. Thus, the state of the art on Use of Information and Communication Technologies in Education, M-Learning, Virtual Reality and Applications of Virtual Reality in Education were raised. The research of this dissertation project was divided into three stages: 1st Stage - survey of research data related to the project theme; 2nd Stage - project development and project application, for this purpose was used action research; 3rd Stage - analysis of the results and finalization of the dissertation writing. The research evidenced that the use of ICTs, in particular smartphones and Virtual Reality, can be placed in the teaching-learning process of the high school technical course in Farming and that the student being immersed into a virtual environment can learn from the interactions of objects arranged. in the Virtual Reality environment.
