This paper presents a communicability evaluation in an Online Social Networks (OSN) designed to support the continuing education of inclusive special education teachers in Brazil. Results point to communication failures that may hinder or even impede user interaction with RSO, and which, discussed by a value-oriented view, can trigger both negative consequences in formal aspects of teaching and learning of those involved, as well as in life impact of end users and other stakeholders.
Abstract. The adoption of Computer-Based Assessment (CBA) has been increasingly practiced in order to evaluate the processes involved in learning. However, for this type of evaluation produce benefits to all students, it is necessary to take into account the accessibility of such resources. This article presents an investigation of the accessibility of the types of questions used in the CBA by the Geekie Games and Redação Nota 1000 environments in the context of deaf students. This research results indicate accessibility problems in Geekie Games and Redação Nota 1000 environments. According to the identified problems, deaf students face interaction difficulties in using this type of assessment in those environments, and are even prevented from using these environments as the other students.
Resumo. A adoção da Avaliação Baseada em Computador (CBA, do inglêsComputer -Based Assessment) tem sido cada vez mais praticada com o intuito de avaliar os processos envolvidos na aprendizagem. No entanto, para que este tipo de avaliação possa trazer benefícios a todos os estudantes, é necessário levar em consideração a acessibilidade de tais recursos. Este artigo apresenta uma investigação da acessibilidade dos tipos de questões usadas na CBA dos ambientes Geekie Games e Redação Nota 1000 no contexto dos estudantes surdos. Resultados dessa investigação apontam problemas de acessibilidade nos ambientes Geekie Games e Redação Nota 1000. De acordo com os problemas identificados, os estudantes surdos podem encontrar dificuldades de interação no uso desse tipo de avaliação nos ambientes, e até mesmo ficar impedidos de utilizar esses ambientes como os demais estudantes.
IntroduçãoA avaliação é reconhecida como um elemento-chave nos processos de ensino e aprendizagem devido ao seu potencial de promover capacitação, direção, motivação dos estudantes e, ainda, fornecer critérios necessários para medir o progresso da aprendizagem [Sim et al. 2004]. Se bem projetada, a CBA tem o potencial de promover um avanço educacional, pois a automatização da avaliação pode facilitar os procedimentos de planejamento, entrega e análise da avaliação quando comparada à avaliação com o uso de lápis e papel [Croft et al. 2001]. A CBA pode ser composta de diferentes tipos de questões, como: múltipla escolha, dissertação, lacuna, entre outros.Estudos, como os de Luephattanasuk et al. (2001) e Beech (2011), relatam que o uso da CBA pode trazer benefícios aos professores e estudantes, mas que para isso é necessário levar em consideração a acessibilidade de tais recursos, de modo que todos
Although research on accessibility in computing systems is a topic of traditional interest in Human-Computer Interaction and Informatics in Education, the dissemination of computing technology has required considering accessibility in an increasingly comprehensive and systemic way. This paper proposes that accessibility in computing systems must be understood as a human value, and traditional methods of interface design and evaluation must be revisited to cope with such understanding throughout the entire design process. This paper presents a practical study of accessibility evaluation for the deaf in the environment to support High School Exam for Brazilian students provided by the National Institute for Educational Studies and Research on Youtube. Results point out to accessibility problems in videos, texts, images and personalization by users, which, from the perspective of values, can trigger negative individual and social consequences in aspects of autonomy, economics, identity and equality that can not be reversed or corrected only by technical updates.
