Resumo
O atual contexto educacional patenteia novos desafios e oportunidades a educadores e alunos. Entre estes encontram-se as ferramentas de Tecnologia de Informação e Comunicação (TIC), que implicam novos paradigmas nas dinâmicas educacionais, tais como os Cadernos Didáticos Digitais (CDD). Nesse sentido, este estudo pretende percecionar a experiência de utilizador (UX) num grupo de docentes na utilização da plataforma educacional WEBMAT®. Os dados recolhidos tiveram por base a exploração de um protótipo de elevada fidelidade, possibilitando avaliar de que forma os princípios de Design de Interação, aplicados no desenvolvimento de CDD, apoiam na compreensão e criação de tarefas por parte dos docentes. Este estudo providenciou dados que pretendem ser uma contribuição para a melhoria da qualidade no desenvolvimento destas plataformas didáticas, assim como auxiliar os educadores no desenvolvimento de tarefas educativas.
The current educational context entails new challenges and opportunities for educators and students. Among these are found the Information and Communication Technology tools (ICTs). They bring new paradigms to educational dynamics, as is the case of Digital Educational Books (DEB). Consequently, this study intends to access the perception of the user’s experience (UX) in a group of teachers using the WEBMAT® educational platform. The data collected is based on the exploitation of a high-fidelity prototype, making it possible to evaluate how the principles of Design Interaction, applied to the development of DEB, provide support to the teachers in understanding and creating tasks. This study has provided data that is intended as a contribution towards improving the quality of these educational platforms as well as assisting educators in developing educational tasks.
