Avaliação do processo de ensino e aprendizagem entre articuladores de células do Programa de Aprendizagem Cooperativa em Células Estudantis da Universidade Federal do Ceará

Abstract

This study is about the cells’ articulator’s from the Program of Cooperative Learning in Student’s Cells – PACCE – learning processes, from the Federal University of Ceará. The objective of the research was to evaluate the learning achieved by the cell organizers in the training offered by the program and it’s possible application in their study of cells. The concepts proposed by the brothers D. Johnson and R. Johnson (1999) establish the theoretical basis for the methodology of the cooperative learning adopted by the Program. The research was classified as a case study for it aims to understand the behavior of a group of subjects. It is applied and descriptive because it seeks to understand problems identified in social relations in the process of formation. Regarding the nature of the data, it is quantitative and qualitative as it evaluates values assigned to specific criteria of participation and involvement and the opinions recorded weekly by the facilitators. For the analysis, the concepts from L. Bardin (2009), R. Yin (2010), L. Depresbiteris (2009), A. Gil (2010) and R. Richardson (2007) were used as theorical framework. Three instruments were used to compose the review: 1) Personal and Academic data that provided the articulator’s profile; 2) Evaluation by the Facilitators to the weekly survey of the attendances of the articulators in training; 3) Cell Report with weekly information of the development of articulator’s cell. The three instruments come from the Program’s database. The results suggest that the involvement of the articulators in the workshops proposals and their applications in cells provide a significant learning experience as they learn to apply the proposed methodology in their cells. We can see a direct relationship between the presented results among their involvement in the workshops, their application in the cells and the displayed level of learning.
