Percepções de Pesquisadores Brasileiros sobre Elementos e Estratégias da Gamificação a Serem Adotados em Ambientes Virtuais de Aprendizagem

A discussão sobre a Educação a Distância vem ganhando espaço cada vez maior no Brasil, notadamente nos últimos anos. Diante do considerável aumento do número de alunos matriculados em cursos a distância, faz-se mister compreender como se dá a inserção desses alunos no mercado de trabalho após sua formação. Destarte, esta pesquisa teve como objetivo investigar a inserção de egressos da Licenciatura em Matemática no mercado de trabalho por meio de um estudo descritivo e de campo, realizado junto a alunos graduados pela Universidade Federal da Paraíba na modalidade a distância, bem como com gestores de escolas particulares do Estado. A pesquisa revelou que a maior parte dos egressos do curso já atuava no mercado de trabalho antes mesmo de sua formação. Os gestores escolares ressaltaram a importância da Educação a Distância, sobretudo nas regiões onde não há universidades instaladas, e a maior parte deles não considera o egresso de cursos a distância menos capacitado para atuar nas escolas. Palavras-chave: Educação a Distância, Mercado de trabalho, Licenciatura, Matemática.

The knowledge explosion, the increased complexity of human life, and the ubiquitous nature of technology coupled with the globalization of the marketplace herald the need to embrace the most effective methods and formats of teaching and learning. Currently providing powerful educational opportunities, the science and technology of distance learning continues to multiply at unprecedented rates. Where just a short time ago traveling from village to village verbally disseminating knowledge was the only process of training those at a distance, today many eagerly embrace the rapidly expanding synchronous and asynchronous delivery systems of the 21st century. So what exactly is distance learning? In very simplistic terms, distance learning is just that: learning that occurs at a distance (Rumble & Keegan, 1982; Shale, 1990; Shale & Garrison, 1990) or that which is characterized by a separation in proximity and/or time (Holmberg, 1974, 1977, 1981; Kaye, 1981, 1982, 1988; D. J. Keegan, 1980; McIsaac & Gunawardena, 1996; M. Moore, 1983; M. G. Moore, 1973, 1980, 1989a, 1989b, 1990; Ohler, 1991; Sewart, 1981; Wedemeyer, 1971). In his 1986 theory of transactional distance, Michael Moore (Moore & Kearsley, 1996) defined distance not only in terms of place and time, but also in terms of structure and dialogue between the learner and the instructor. In this theory, distance becomes more pedagogical than geographical. As structure increases, so does distance. As dialogue increases, distance declines, thus accentuating the need for interaction in the distance learning environment. Saba (1998) furthered this concept, concluding, the dynamic and systemic study of distance education has made “distance” irrelevant, and has made mediated communication and construction of knowledge the relevant issue…. So the proper question is not whether distance education is comparable to a hypothetical “traditional,” or face-to-face instruction, but if there is enough interaction between the learner and the instructor for the learner to find meaning and develop new knowledge. (p. 5) To facilitate greater interaction in the geographically and/or organizationally dispersed distance environment, today, individuals most often use some form of technology to overcome the barrier of separation, affording institutional and learner opportunity to transcend intra- and inter-organizational boundaries, time, and even culture. By definition, the paradigm of distance learning revolutionizes the traditional environment (Martz & Reddy, 2005); however, even with this change, learning, which involves some manner of interaction with content, instructor, and/or peers, remains at the core of the educational process. Although imperative in both environments, these three types of interaction seem to be at the hub of the ongoing traditional-vs.-distance argument. Traditionalists often fear that with anything other than face-to-face instruction, interaction somehow will decrease, thus making learning less effective, when in reality, numerous studies have revealed no significant difference in the learning outcomes between traditional and distance courses (Russell, 1999). In fact, distance courses have been found to “match conventional on-campus, face-to-face courses in both rigor and quality of outcomes” (Pittman, 1997, p. 42). Despite these findings, critics still abound.

Delivery Technology

The current growth in distance education is a result of a convergence of factors. The delivery technology has become more affordable, available, familiar and interactive. With improvements in the technology, distance courses are now more realistic, engaging, inexpensive, and varied. The audience of learners is more experienced and capable with the technology, due to the increased availability of distance education, and they welcome distance learning into their busy lives. Technology-mediated distance education research has matured enough to produce an extensive body of evidence that distance education can be at least as effective as classroom instruction. The exciting convergence that brought about the growth in distance education also presented distance learners with a challenge: how to choose the best distance learning opportunities from the vast catalog of options. Distance learners can easily compare the costs, technical needs, cognitive requirements, and time demands of distance learning courses. Learners are less well equipped to distinguish high quality courses from the offerings. Distance education programs have the responsibility of communicating to students the quality assurance measures they employ, whether the measures consist of in-house practices or accreditation by outside bodies.

Socioeconomic Composition

The results of a 2019 sociological survey conducted on a nationwide structured Abstract sample of extramural students (2019) and graduates (2000–2018) of Higher Edu cational Institutions (HEIs) are used to reveal cultural, socio-economic, territorial origin of extramural students and graduates and identify the types of their educational strategies as well work experience and status at the enrollment stage. We analyze their movements within the socio-occupational hierarchy as a result of obtaining that education. Extramural students differ from full-timers in that they feature a more de mocratic socioeconomic composition and possess a different amount of educational resources at the enrollment stage. These differences are presented in the form of four educational trajectories, which correlate with indicators of origin on a scale from “weaker” to “stronger”. “Advantages / disadvantages” of the educational trajectories and status at the enrollment stage, affect the degree of success in the application of distance education in the labor market in accordance with the level of qualifications and specialties of the diploma. Extramural students / graduates are formed from two streams: those who enter the HEIs immediately after secondary education and those who come with work experience. The latter get a higher return on the labor market from distance education.
