Abstract(s)
Este artigo baseia-se na análise efectuada a fóruns de discussão no contexto de uma comunidade
virtual de aprendizagem para estudantes de Física e Química, do ensino secundário. Tem por objectivos
desvendar interações estabelecidas nos fóruns seleccionados e analisar os respetivos padrões de
interação a três níveis: individual, grupal e global. Estudámos fóruns de duas naturezas distintas: fóruns
de esclarecimento de dúvidas sobre as matérias escolares e em fóruns de conversas com cientistas
convidados. A análise sociométrica foi efectuada recorrendo ao UCINET 6.268 e NETDRAW 2.091.
Os grafos mostraram um perfil de interação marcado por laços fracos, membros periféricos e poucos
conectores. O envolvimento mais ativo dos jovens ocorreu nas conversas abertas, não associadas às
matérias escolares. Da análise efectuada ficou patente que a atividade na comunidade girou acerca dos
interesses individuais e da trajetória de aprendizagem de cada um. Evidenciou-se a necessidade de
conceber sistemas de aprendizagem sinérgicos que integrem interesses pessoais e aprendizagem formal.
This article is based on the analysis carried out in discussion forums in the context of a virtual learning community for students of Physics and Chemistry, of secondary education. Its objectives are to unveil established interactions in the selected forums and analyze the interaction patterns at three levels: individual, group and global. We studied the pattern of interactions in forums to clarify doubts about school subjects and in forums of conversations with invited scientists. The sociometric analysis was carried out using UCINET 6.268 and NETDRAW 2.091. Graphs showed an interaction profile marked by weak loops, peripheral limbs and few connectors. Students most active involvement occurred in open conversations, not associated with school subjects. It became clear that the activity in the community turned on the individual interests and learning trajectory of each one. We highlighted the need to conceive synergistic learning systems integrating personal interests and formal learning.
