The Cambridge Guide to Blended Learning for Language Teaching makes the case that it is pedagogy, rather than technology, that should underpin the design of blended learning programmes. The book is organised into five sections: Connecting Theories and Blended Learning; Implications for Teaching; Rethinking Learner Interaction; Case Studies; The Future of Blended Learning. With its research-informed and practitioner-focused approach, this book is ideal for language teachers and language centre managers looking to broaden their understanding of pedagogy and blended learning. It will also be of interest to anyone working on blended learning course design or delivering teacher training courses.

This contribution sets out, through the analysis of the teaching styles, the texts and graphic material of the six chapters about Mechanics of the handbook Physique Chimie (Collection AREX, Les classiques africains) of the first years of high school science classes, to highlight the difficulties and obstacles that the teacher or the student face in using it.. The results of the analysis from the epistemological and didactic benchmarks knowledge to teach the mechanics show that the manual emphasizes the use of more informative teaching style and that of the illustrative figures to state the knowledge to be taught. Thus, the approaches used do not refer to a real problematization and do not allow students to be independent and productive; they are not actively and intellectually engage students in the learning process. Faced with the passivity of the student in the acquisition of knowledge, it thus seems necessary to include in the training of the teacher, a teacher training course based on understanding of texts and teaching styles to support a constructivist pedagogy class.

Foi elencado, em cada plataforma analisada, um curso da área da educação com o intuito de obter um foco de pesquisa. As plataformas analisadas foram escolhidas partindo da pesquisa de Panta (2013) sobre os MOOCs, selecionando aqueles que disponibilizam cursos na área da educação: Coursera, EdX, NovoEd e Veduca. A fim de analisar de forma qualitativa a acessibilidade das plataformas dos respectivos MOOCs, elencaram-se dois validadores de acessibilidade na web, Hera e DaSilva, realizando uma observação sobre os resultados. Posteriormente, analisou-se um dos principais recursos de ensino e aprendizagem das plataformas, as vídeoaulas, quanto à acessibilidade. Considerando os relatórios dos validadores utilizados e também a análise dos dados, foi possível concluir que o recurso vídeoaula disponibilizado nos MOOCs analisados não atendem a todos os parâmetros de acessibilidade. Contato principal: [email protected]
