Creating awareness of kinaesthetic learning using the Experience API: current practices, emerging challenges, possible solutions

We describe our use of the Experience API in preparing blue-collar workers for three frequently arising work contexts, including, for example, the requirement to perform maintenance tasks exactly as specified, consistently, quickly, and without error. We provide some theoretical underpinning for modifying and updating the API to remain useful in near-future training scenarios, such as having a shorter time allowed for kinaesthetic learning experiences than in traditional apprenticeships or training. We propose ways to involve a wide range of stakeholders in appraising the API and ensuring that any enhancements to it, or add-ons, are useful, feasible and compatible with current TEL practices and tools, such as learning-design modelling languages

Mudando a rotina em sala de aula com a disciplina “Experimentos para o Ensino Médio e Fundamental”

A base deste trabalho consiste na experiência adquirida ao ministrar a disciplina “Experimentos para o Ensino Médio e Fundamental”, do curso de Mestrado Nacional Profissional em Ensino de Física (MNPEF), da Universidade Federal de Roraima (UFRR), turmas 2016.2, 2017.1, 2018.2 e 2019.1. Como escrito no livro Praticas nas Escolas, “a aula experimental transforma a sala de aula em um local com menos conversa, menos enfado e trabalhos inúteis, e mais alegria e proveito” (COMENIUS apud CARVALHO et. al., 2013, p. 17). Foi utilizada, então, esta disciplina para treinar professores do Ensino Médio para realizarem experiências guiadas em sala de aula
