PERCEPTIONS ON THE USE OF PROJECT-BASED LEARNING IN PROFESSIONAL AND TECHNOLOGICAL EDUCATIO

Abstract

Education over the decades has undergone constant changes, mainly with the evolution of active methodologies, which affect the teaching-learning process and the subjects involved in it. Such methodologies used as potentiating educational resources can strengthen students' empowerment and encourage them to participate actively in the teaching-learning process. This research aimed to propose and verify the contribution of a Didactic Sequence (DS) involving Project-Based Learning in promoting student engagement in the discipline of Integrating Projects in the Integrated Secondary School (ISS) course in Informatics, aiming at developing skills of teamwork, leadership and roles related to professional attributions. The research had a quantitative and qualitative methodological character, with the collection of data through the application of commands, content analysis and the development and execution of the DS. Students in the ISS of informatics, teaching staff who work in the area, crowded at IFSertãoPE, Campus Petrolina, participated in the collection. Among the main findings of the research, it was observed that the active methodologies provided students with an increase in engagement, an improvement in student performance, among other characteristics related to teaching, in the teachers' conception. As for the students, as active methodologies, it is a roller coaster, however, the students tolerate these methodologies, and believe that they can provide a significant gain in the teaching-learning process. The students demanded an interest in knowing their professional attributions, as well as during the application of the DS they were able to reflect on it.
