Garbin, Fernanda Gobbi de Boer; ten Caten, Carla Schwengber; de Jesus Pacheco, Diego Augusto – Journal of Applied Research in Higher Education, 2022
Purpose: Although active learning methodologies are recognized as an effective means to achieve expected educational demands, in practice, the teaching and learning processes are still widely characterized by traditional pedagogy aspects. As a result, teaching innovations in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education are carried…

Felipe A. Feichas; Rodrigo D. Seabra – Informatics in Education, 2023
This research discusses the use of a gamified web platform for studying software modeling with Unified Modeling Language (UML). Although UML is constantly being improved and studied, many works show that there is difficulty in teaching and learning the subject, due to the complexity of its concepts and the students' cognitive difficulties with…

Seman, Laio Oriel; Hausmann, Romeu; Bezerra, Eduardo Augusto – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2018
Contribution: This paper presents the "PBL classroom model," an agent-based simulation (ABS) that allows testing of several scenarios of a project-based learning (PBL) application by considering different levels of soft-skills, and students' perception of the methodology. Background: While the community has made great advances in…

An Inexpensive 2-D and 3-D Model of the Sarcomere as a Teaching Aid
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Rios, Vitor Passos; Bonfim, Vanessa Maria Gomes – Advances in Physiology Education, 2013
To address a common problem of teaching the sliding filament theory (that is, students have difficulty in visualizing how the component proteins of the sarcomere differ, how they organize themselves into a single working unit, and how they function in relation to each other), we have devised a simple model, with inexpensive materials, to be built…

Oral Fluency in the Context of Second/Foreign Language Testing: Understanding the Role of Task Structure and Formulaic Speech.
Ejzenberg, Roseli – 1990
A study was planned to generate a model for testing second language education that would incorporate task types to allow the display of fluency. It is argued that the display of oral fluency can be used as a selection criterion for inclusion of test items in multitask or portfolio assessment. The following three research questions were formulated:…
