Visiting Scholar Jose Valente, "Integration Curriculum and IC"
Discussant: Paulo Blikstein
The class deals with a brief historical view of the implantation of informatics in education in Brazil, focusing on two important points. One, the issue of teacher training; and the second on the integration of technologies into the curriculum. Training for this integration took place in the development of the projects: One Computer per Student (Projeto UCA – Um Computador por Aluno) and Inquiry Based Learning (ABInv – Aprendizagem Baseada na Investigação). Many lessons were learned from these projects. The text for reading presents a summary of the main achieved results.
Jose Valent has recommended that everyone read a short article he wrote, called "Inquiry Based Learning Project: a study of doing science with elementary". The article is attached to this email.
