Ambientes de aprendizagem com suporte das TIC: o caso do Centro de Ciências Sociais Aplicadas da UFRN
(2003) ARAÚJO, Maria Arlete Duarte de; BORGES, Djalma Freire
In a context of extended learning and socialization, higher education institutions need to create new learning environments supported by the intensive use of new information and communication technologies. The creation of such environments and their efficient action require not only the implementation of a computer lab infrastructure, the installation of Internet points and the acquisition and formulation of new applications that facilitate learning, but especially changes in the role of the main actors in the teaching-learning process: the teacher and the student. The teacher must quickly and profoundly master the new material instruments made available to him for the educational task; and the student must leave an old passive position, adopting a more reflective and investigative posture. Reflecting on such problems, the Center for Applied Social Sciences, at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte, with more than 4000 enrolled students, is taking the first steps towards the creation of learning environments supported by information and communication technologies, overcoming, on the one hand, the natural resistances of both students and teachers; and on the other, the limitations imposed by the scarcity of funding resources for Brazilian public universities.
