Os docentes da Universidade Federal do Ceará e a utilização de alguns dos recursos do sistema integrado de gestão de atividades acadêmica (SIGAA)

Abstract

Currently, we are living through a revolution in technology, communication, and information. This revolution has affected not only social life but also education, institutions of higher education, and teaching methods. Information systems manipulate data and generate information through technologies. Professors are the professionals involved with students, responsible for the universe of information, sharing information, allowing the spread of knowledge, and enabling the flux of information and communication with students. In this study, we aim to investigate some uses of Sistema Integrado de Gestão de Atividades Acadêmica (SIGAA) by professors of undergraduate courses at Universidade Federal do Ceará (UFC), analyzing its use among the many university units. This is a descriptive explanatory research in which the main data were collected in the internal documents of this institution. As it could be verified, in each semester, the use of SIGAA has been gradually increasing among teachers’ UFC graduation; however, its use is not yet complete. Some academic units, such as FEAAC, CT, and CCA, are distinct regarding usage of the system.
