Abstract(s)
Com o desenvolvimento de novas tecnologias, nas últimas décadas têm vindo a ser
desenvolvidas novas abordagens de ensino-aprendizagem. Conceitos como mobile
learning (m-learning) afloram e transformam o ambiente de aprendizagem em cenários
móveis e de mobilidade. Com este estudo, pretendeu-se contribuir para o m-learning no
campo da educação em línguas, e em particular verificar como pode enriquecer o
desenvolvimento de competências comunicativas (sobretudo escritas) no ensinoaprendizagem
do português como língua estrangeira (PLE), no ensino superior.
Considerou-se, para esse efeito, a análise e a implementação das apps Kahoot!, Padlet e
Socrative.
Metodologicamente, optou-se pelo estudo de caso, tendo-se implementado inquéritos
por questionário e realizado observação participante. Os dados recolhidos foram analisados
recorrendo a métodos quantitativos (análise estatística) e qualitativos (análise de
conteúdo).
Com base nos resultados obtidos, é possível concluir que a utilização de dispositivos
móveis aliada ao uso das três apps referidas - Kahoot!, Padlet e Socrative - contribui para um maior envolvimento dos estudantes nas tarefas educativas. Foi também possível atestar
que o recurso às apps em análise, principalmente a app Padlet e a app Socrative,
permitiram desenvolver e melhorar competências de compreensão e de produção escrita.
No que diz respeito à app Kahoot!, confirmou-se ser uma app mais direcionada para o
gaming, fomentando maior espírito de competição.
Em suma, consideramos que estas apps, articuladas com estratégias de ensinoaprendizagem
em m-learning, coadjuvam no desenvolvimento das competências para a
aprendizagem do século XXI. Destaca-se ainda que esta abordagem se adequa assim às
mudanças da sociedade atual, provocando desafios pedagógicos e novas formas de
aprendizagem em PLE, prevendo-se alargar a sua implementação ao ensino e
aprendizagem de outras línguas estrangeiras, também no Ensino Superior.
A number of innovative approaches for teaching and learning have been proposed in the last decades thanks to the development of new technologies. New concepts, such as mobile learning (m-learning), have emerged and are turning the learning experience mobile. This study aims at contributing to m-learning within the domain of language education and, in particular, to verify how m-learning can enhance the foreign language teaching and learning processes, with a focus on the development of communication skills (above all written skills) in the learning/teaching of Portuguese as a foreign language (FL) in Higher Education. The study focus on the analysis and use of the follwoing mobile applications: Kahoot!, Padlet and Socrative. With regard to the methodology, we followed a case study. Data were collected through a survey and participant observation, and then it was subject to quantitative (statistical analysis) and qualitative (content analysis) methods. The results of the study allow us to conclude about the positive impact of mobile devices combined with the use of the three applications, Kahoot!, Padlet, Socrative, as far as the level of involvement of the students in didactic activities are concerned. It is also possible to verify that the adoption of those apps has enhanced the development of the students’ written production, which is especially true with the apps Padlet and Socrative. Concerning Kahoot!, the study confirmed that this application promotes a competitive environment and is thus more likely to spark gamification scenarios. In short, we consider that these applications, combined with adequate m-learning strategies, promote the enhancement of learning skills in 21st century. It should also be noted that such an approach is fit for the societal changes that are taking place nowadays, introducing pedagogical challenges and new learning strategies for Portuguese as a FL. We expect to further test and implement this kind of strategies in language learning/teaching, namely in higher education.
