Oficinas de aprendizagem como estratégia de intervenção no ensino técnico e superior

Abstract

The subject of the present document is Teaching Workshops that took place at Campus Viamão of the Federal Institute of Education, Science, and Technology of Rio Grande do Sul, as well as their contribution to the school performance of students of technical education on a high school level and College. The general objective of this research is to analyze the development of teaching workshops as a strategy to support the participants in their academic learning. The specific objectives are: to understand how the workshops contribute to the academic development of the students and the construction of learning, authorship and institutional links; to identify the aspects brought by the students from the evaluation they make of this experience and from the results of their learning development; describe the development of teaching workshops and their effects on students. The theoretical reference of the present work discusses conceptions of learning, bringing different visions and contributions leaning on a complementary perspective. The concepts of learning, adult learning, authorship, and workshop are discussed. The methodology applied is action research. Eight workshops were performed with the students from October to November 2016, in which each participant filled a field diary, from where the data were taken with Textual Discursive Analysis, with the categories: learning, study modification and academic development; and self knowledge. From the analysis of the material collected, it was possible to see the contribution of the workshops for the academic development of the students. Between the conclusions achieved, I highlight the instrumentalization from the applied strategies and the creation of a space for authorship and sharing of knowledge between the participants. The participants showed a sense of belonging to the group and to the workshops space. The learning built along the meetings had effects on the students, affecting their instrumentalization, self-confidence and the recognition of their own constructions.
