Abstract Introduction : Today's society is influenced by Information and Communication Technologies. Toys that were once built by hand have been reinterpreted and have become highly commercialized products. In this context, games using Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) technologies are present in the everyday lives of children, youth and adults. Objective : To investigate how Physical Education professionals in Brazil have been making use of AR and VR games to benefit their work. Materials and methods : We only included studies that addressed exercise or physical activity using AR or VR games. We searched the databases of Virtual Health Library (VHL) and Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), using the words augmented reality, virtual reality, exergames, Wii and serious games. Results : Nineteen articles were included in the systematic review. The most frequently used device was the Nintendo(r) Wii, with over 25 different kinds of games. With regard to the subjects of the studies, four studies were conducted with healthy individuals (mean = 65.7), three with patients with Parkinson's disease (mean = 18.0), three with elderly women (mean = 7.7) and two with patients with stroke injury (mean = 6.0). Conclusion : Many physical therapists and occupational therapists use serious games with AR or VR technologies as another work tool, especially for rehabilitation practices. The fact that these technologies are also used in Physical Education classes in Brazil indicates that electronic games are available and can be a tool that can contribute to the widespread adoption of exercise as an enjoyable form of recreation.

Key Issues

This study aimed to establish the extent to which Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) have been integrated into the teaching and learning of Geography in Seychelles Secondary Schools. The focus was on key issues such as policy provisions for the integration of ICTs into the Seychelles curriculum; teachers’ and students’ perceptions about the use of ICTs in teaching and learning of Geography; the types of ICTs used; and challenges faced in the integration of ICTs. Possible solutions are also explored. The researchers opted for a qualitative methodological approach to generate rich and in-depth data. The aim was to learn and understand from the case rather than to prove and establish cause and effect. Thus, various methodologies such as document analysis, focus group discussions and interviews were employed. Geography teachers and students were the main participants in the study, although other participants such as Ministry of Education officials were also interviewed. It is anticipated that the research findings and recommendations will benefit policymakers and practitioners in the Seychelles education system.

Collaborative Skills

The use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in a variety of educational activities creates lots of conveniences, increases effectiveness and efficiency. It is believed that the use of ICT in the educational process makes learning more interesting, enables explaining the concept more clearly, foster creativity, collaborative skills and many more. Due to the fact that the students are millennial generation, who is quite familiar with ICT in their daily life, the use of ICT is important. In learning mathematics, GeoGebra which is dynamic open source software can be used as a teaching and learning tool for mathematics. However, some are still unaware of the benefits of using GeoGebra to learn mathematics. This article discusses the various benefits of using GeoGebra in mathematics teaching and learning, and several studies that support it. The advantages of using GeoGebra in mathematics teaching and learning are as follows: GeoGebra might be used to demonstrate or visualize mathematical concepts, as well as a means of constructing mathematical concepts. The use of GeoGebra in mathematics learning can foster mathematical reasoning, creativity, support collaboration, involve students more in the learning process. And, the more involved, more effective and efficient the learning is.

Multiple Case

The purpose of this study is to analyse what is happening at schools regarding the integration and use of information and communication technologies (ICT) and to examine teachers’ perceptions about what teaching and learning processes can be improved through the use of ICT. A multiple-case-study research methodology was applied. From a previous exploratory research, four different types of schools were determined. Data show there is a widespread view that ICT in teaching favours several teaching and learning processes. In particular, it shows that the contribution of ICT to the improvement of teaching and learning processes is higher in the schools that have integrated ICT as an innovation factor. To attain this highest level implies that a school not only has to modernise the technological tools, but also has to change the teaching models: the teacher’s role, issues regarding classroom organisational, the teaching and learning processes, and the interaction mechanisms.

Resumo: A sociedade brasileira contemporânea é marcada pela cultura tecnológica, cujas práticas sociais são mediadas pelas Tecnologias da Informação e Comunicação (TIC). Essas TICs têm alterado a rotina de muitos sujeitos, sendo que aqueles que não se aproximam dessas acabam por não participar de processos sociais ou de estratégias de facilitação na realização dos mesmos no cotidiano, através de mensagens instantâneas, pagamento de contas online, cursos à distância, entre outros. O idoso, para além da exclusão social resultante de preconceitos e de falta de informação ou consciência, acaba por vezes excluído, também, do processo de aproximação com as TICs. Dessa forma, sabendo da importância do letramento digital, buscamos investigar a promoção das práticas de letramento digital do sujeito idoso que participa da Educação de Jovens e Adultos (EJA) ofertada no Centro de Educação de Jovens e Adultos (CEJA) Professor Alfredo Simoneti, no município de Mossoró-RN. Para isso, realizamos uma pesquisa de cunho qualitativo e exploratório que, a partir da aplicação de questionário, resultou em dados que confirmam que ainda há muitas lacunas que precisam ser preenchidas para que o processo de ensino-aprendizagem da EJA se torne promotor do letramento digital. Palavras-chave: Letramento digital. Idoso. EJA. DIGITAL LITERACY OF THE ELDERLY IN THE CONTEXT OF YOUTH AND ADULT EDUCATION IN MOSSORÓ-RN Abstract: The current Brazilian society is marked by technological culture, whose social practices are mediated by Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs). These ICTs have changed the routine of many people, and those who do not approach them end up not participating in many social processes or enabling strategies in achieving these processes in everyday life (IM; bill payment; online courses, etc.). The elderly, in addition to social exclusion resulting from prejudice and lack of information or awareness, are, sometimes, excluded either from the process of rapprochement to ICTs. Thus, knowing the importance of digital literacy, we seek to investigate the promotion of literacy practices to the elderly that participate in the Youth and Adult Education (YAE) offered in the Youth and Adult Education Center Professor Alfredo Simoneti in Mossoró-RN. We conducted a qualitative and exploratory research that, from the questionnaire, resulted in data that confirm that there are still many gaps that need to be fullfilled for the process of teaching and learning of YAE to become a promoter of digital literacy. Keywords: Digital literacy. Elderly. Youth and Adult Education.
