Learning Object "Come Learn" as an Educational Resource for the Statistics Discipline

Abstract

Information technology has been used to provide a teaching process that best suits the educational needs of students. In this way, a more reflective teaching process is used, which makes the student protagonist of his / her way of learning and solving problems and, thus, learning objects are proving to be an excellent tool of support in the search of digital resources That promote the student's educational competence. The purpose of this work is to present learning resources of a knowledge platform specifically focused on the teaching of statistics, being a course that naturally presents learning challenges, both in regular education and in distance education. In this way, the teacher can adapt his didactic plan giving direction to the educational skills that he wants the student to acquire. For this, we present a platform of knowledge directed to the teaching of the discipline of statistics, "Come Learn" [1]. This platform is an interactive screen with a menu that offers options such as: games, video, activities, lesson, supplementary material, podcasts and extras. The instrument used to obtain such information was the questionnaire with the purpose of validating the "Come Learn" application as a method and form of support to the teaching of statistics. Thus, a case study was carried out with 18 students from the Young Apprentice program of Ifes - Campus Barra de São Francisco. Finally, the use of Information Technology (ICT), through the tool presented in this study, can provide the faculty that manages the discipline of statistics to adapt the contents to the various functionalities of the application, in order to fill some "gaps" expressed in the Parameters, which highlights the importance of teaching the discipline of Statistics to students' understanding of real-world issues.
