O teu mestre: A distance learning platform (results)

Abstract

We live in a an age of change regarding mentalities and a consequent time of change in the learning processes. In this sense, it is necessary to create new methodologies and alternative practices to learn, teach and, more importantly, to learn how to learn. In recent years there has been a widespread commitment to use Information and Communication Technologies as a tool to support teaching. It is in this context that this work is inserted. The aim is to validate a digital educational resource of school that will be able to contribute to the aid of students of traditional education and also of those hospitalized and/or prevented from being present in the classroom. The proposed model was validated through a case study developed during the second and third periods of the 2014/2015 school year, involving special education students, in a hospital context, students of Mathematics A of the 12th grade of a Porto school and high school mathematics teachers.
