<p class="Normal1">Parasitology can be defined as the branch of biology that studies parasites and parasitism in general, covering diverse areas, such as helminthology, protozoology, ectoparasitology and entomology. Due to the large amount of content studied and the complexity of scientific names, it is generally difficult for students to fix the content taught during the course. Gamification has been gaining ground in current teaching methodologies, as it represents an alternative way of how knowledge can be passed on, as it is clear that the playful form of teaching shows a higher rate of fixation and learning. Therefore, the aim was to develop a quiz application on veterinary parasitology for Android smartphones. The game was called VetParasitoQuiz, having been made available on Google’s online store for downloads on Android devices. Then, it was tested and evaluated by the students enrolled in the discipline of Veterinary Parasitology and the discipline of Parasitic Diseases of the semesters of 2018, of the Veterinary Medicine course at the Federal Institute of Paraíba (IFPB) Sousa campus, where they evaluated the effectiveness of methods alternatives in teaching-learning, where through questionnaires and through the performance evaluation in the game, obtained positive results, showing that the gamification in higher education contributes to the fixation of subjects and that through application there is a stimulus to learning in an unconventional way , allowing greater memorization of the contents.</p>

Teaching Learning

Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) are the major driving forces of globalised and knowledge-based societies of a new world era. They will have a profound impact on teaching and learning for two decades to come. The revolutionary change which is taking place in Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), has dramatic effects on the way universities carry out their functions of teaching, learning and research, particularly on the creation, dissemination and application of knowledge. These developments pose unprecedented challenges to higher education institutions (HEIs) in developing countries particular in South Africa as South Africa is viewed as the leading country on the continent.

The Will

The prevailing need for a more sustainable management of natural resources depends not only on the decisions made by governments and the will of the population, but also on the knowledge of the role of energy in our society and the relevance of preserving natural resources. In this sense, critical work is being done to instill key concepts—such as the circular economy and sustainable energy—in higher education institutions. In this way, it is expected that future professionals and managers will be aware of the importance of energy optimization, and will learn a series of computational methods that can support the decision-making process. In the context of higher education, this paper reviews the main trends and challenges related to the concepts of circular economy and sustainable energy. Besides, we analyze the role of simulation and serious games as a learning tool for the aforementioned concepts. Finally, the paper provides insights and discusses open research opportunities regarding the use of these computational tools to incorporate circular economy concepts in higher education degrees. Our findings show that, while efforts are being made to include these concepts in current programs, there is still much work to be done, especially from the point of view of university management. In addition, the analysis of the teaching methodologies analyzed shows that, although their implementation has been successful in favoring the active learning of students, their use (especially that of serious games) is not yet widespread.

Education In Brazil

Purpose This paper aims to analyze strategies that promote sustainability in higher education institutions (HEIs), focusing on the case study of a federal institute of higher education in Brazil. Design/methodology/approach The research was based on a scientific literature review on sustainability in HEIs, to identify the recurrent actions for sustainability in these institutions; and a case study of a federal institute of higher education in Brazil, to illustrate how these actions are being implemented by HEIs. Findings Concerns about sustainability, prompted by the Brazilian federal legislature, led federal HEI to change its internal processes, infrastructure and organizational culture toward sustainability. Practical implications The findings presented in this study, more specifically the sustainability plan of the Federal Institute for Education, Science and Technology of Santa Catarina, aligned with the recommendations proposed, can be used and replicated in other HEIs. Originality/value Scientific literature about organizational changes led by sustainability concerns, in HEIs specifically, still needs more attention in the academia. By addressing the case of a Brazilian public institution of higher education, this paper contributes to the literature on sustainability in higher education by reporting the process of implementation of a sustainability plan.
