Three Medicare-certified nursing homes are studied to determine factors of the organization, physical and social environment, and of the individuals that promote or deter social interaction. Social interaction is examined according to three phases: the tendency to congregate, the ability to impersonally interact with others, and the capacity to converse. Since conversation has been linked by others to rehabilitation, its promotion is stressed. Suggestions are made for creating a more functional social setting for the elderly, researching the behavioral basis for nursing home design, and for developing more meaningful building codes. This exploratory study serves as an example of how systematic environmental analysis may provide the direction necessary for implementing an extended care facility's goals.

O Ensino Remoto Emergencial (ERE) se mostrou uma possibilidade diante da pandemia causada pela COVID-19. Por outro lado, trouxe muitos desafios, em particular no que se refere à interação e aprendizagem de estudantes de cursos presenciais. Baseado na perspectiva histórico-cultural da aprendizagem e nos estudos sobre uso de tecnologias educacionais digitais, o objetivo deste estudo é analisar o uso do aplicativo WhatsApp como ambiente de interação social e de aprendizagens durante o ERE. Este estudo qualitativo e exploratório teve sua coleta de dados baseada no fichamento de conversas entre professores e estudantes de graduação, durante o primeiro semestre de 2020, as quais foram analisadas conforme categorias temáticas e conforme os objetivos da interação: gerais, tecnologias e aprendizagens. Seus resultados mostram, principalmente, que a praticidade, a acessibilidade, a familiaridade e a afinidade dos estudantes com o WhatsApp foram determinantes para a manutenção dos processos de aprendizagem durante o ERE, transformando o aplicativo de ferramenta complementar em ferramenta altamente potente para dúvidas sobre conteúdos, sobre processos, sobre as próprias tecnologias e de interação social entre os pares, respaldando suas aprendizagens. Pode-se concluir que o uso de tecnologias não educacionais, como o WhatsApp, foi de utilidade na educação não somente durante o ERE, mas também pôde contribuir ainda pelo seu potencial de aproximação entre os pares. O aplicativo de mensagens mostrou-se, por meio de seus canais, uma possibilidade acessível, de forma que a interação social e os processos de aprendizagem fossem sustentados nesse momento de incerteza.Palavras-chave: Ensino Remoto Emergencial.

On the other hand, it brought many challenges, particularly with regard to the interaction and learning of students in classroom courses. Based on the historical-cultural perspective of learning and studies on the use of educational technologies, the objective of this study is to analyze the use of the WhatsApp application as an environment for social interaction and learning during the ERE. This qualitative, exploratory study had its data collection based on the record of conversations between professors and undergraduate students, during the first semester of 2020, which were analyzed according to thematic categories according to the objectives of the interaction: general, technologies and learning. Its results show, mainly, that the practicality, accessibility, familiarity and affinity of students with WhatsApp were decisive for the maintenance of learning processes during ERE, transforming the application as a complementary tool into a highly powerful tool for questions about content, on processes, on the technologies themselves and on social interaction between peers, supporting their learning. It can be concluded that the use of non-educational technologies, such as WhatsApp, was of use in education not only during the ERE, but also could contribute to its potential for bringing peers closer together. The messaging application proved, through its channels, an accessible possibility so that social interaction and learning processes were sustained in this moment of uncertainty.Keywords: Emergency Remote Teaching.

Se puede concluir que el uso de tecnologías no educativas, como WhatsApp, fue de utilidad en la educación no solo durante el ERE, sino que también podría contribuir a su potencial para acercar a sus pares.
