METODOLOGIAS ATIVAS E MATERIAL DIDÁTICO DE INGLÊS NO ENSINO SUPERIOR TECNOLÓGICO: PERCEPÇÕES DE GRADUANDOS ACERCA DE SUAS APRENDIZAGENS

Abstract

The changes in contemporary education have reflected the recognition of the importance of promoting autonomy and student protagonism in the learning process, taking into consideration not only the knowledge of subject content but also the development of new competencies, skills, and attitudes. Consequently, there is an increasing encouragement of the use of active teaching methodologies. Based on these premises, two instructors from the Faculty of Technology in São José dos Campos developed an alternative teaching material to be used during English classes. The objective of this work was to assess students' perception regarding the results obtained with this material. To conduct this study, a selected group of undergraduate students was invited to respond to a questionnaire consisting of five open-ended questions. This data collection instrument allowed for the gathering of both positive and negative impressions from students, as well as suggestions to improve and motivate their communicative and investigative autonomy and performance. The results obtained indicate that the use of this new material facilitates communication and interaction among students and with the content and objectives proposed in the activities, contributing to the success of learning.
