Title
U-Learning: A Collaborative Experience in the Urban Context.
Abstract
Mobile and ubiquitous technologies provide new learning experiences anytime, anywhere. In this type of learning mode, there are mechanisms that combine real scenarios with ubiquitous technologies, favoring a greater and meaningful exchange between individuals and groups through collaboration. In this sense, this study introduces an experience in the urban context supported by an u-learning environment in professional education. We used a ubiquitous learning platform called Youubi to lead an experiment at a public vocational school in Brazil. The theory of meaningful learning was used to support the interpret knowledge construction phenomena presents in the ubiquitous learning situation. It was proposed learning situations that allowed the exchange of meanings, based on the teachers’ planning based on the urbanization theme of the cities. The method was based on a hybrid-qualitative and quantitative analysis of ubiquitous learning in urban context. The results indicated that the features of the U-learning environment promoted collaboration around the didactic content outside the classroom in a dynamic way, allowing collaboration and knowledge sharing among those involved, mainly strengthening existing meanings and the perception of problems in life related to the proposed content.
