The Analysis of the Learning Objects Used in a Distance-Based, Technical Program in Environmental Studies

Abstract:

The aim of this article is to analyze the Learning Objects present in the virtual environment of Centro Federal de Educação Tecnológica de Minas Gerais, specifically in the technical program in Environmental Studies offered at distance, in order to verify if these Learning Objects meet the evaluation aspects of didactic material in digital format defined by Sabota and Pereira. This is a qualitative and descriptive research. Regarding the procedure, the case study was chosen. Among the results, it should be noted that many of the resources available in the virtual learning environment are not subject to a process of analysis such as interaction and interactivity, engagement, affectivity and flexibility, which are requirements for establishing good pedagogical practice in Distance Education. Finally, it was demonstrated, in this research, how an Learning Object can be selected and analyzed by teachers in the teaching and learning processes.
