Avaliação do uso de mídias digitais como ferramenta para desenvolvimento de Projetos de Graduação (PGs) interdisciplinares em Engenharia Civil

Abstract

The increasing complexity of life demands the development of human capacities. The student-centered and mediated educational process of information technology emerges as a relevant tool. This work reports the experience in the disciplines Graduation Project I and II. The "Session of Cinema" event was held, a short video show (2 min) that approached the works of conclusion of Civil Engineering course. This event had as target audience the freshmen who attended the discipline of Introduction to Civil Engineering. Among the objectives of the work are the skills’ development such as oral communication through digital media, efficiency in rapid communication and development of the best interaction among students to combat evasion. For the development of the work, the planning and the routing of the videos first took place. Then the recordings and editing were performed. The videos were exposed at the event and made available on YouTube on the "Dormi Aluna, Acordei Professora" channel. It is noticed that with the use of the videos, the freshmen were able to know better the course and the different areas of study of the same one. The students assessed the video production process as a positive tool for disseminating their work and as learning strategy. The production, with a high demand of time, clashes with other activities and was of complex execution. As a conclusion, it can be affirmed that the videos can be a tool to be incorporated into the PGs, acting as a way of dissemination and awakening of the creativity of the students with presentation of the projects not only through the monograph assisting in the interdisciplinary formation.
