" O uso do SIGAA como ferramenta de aprendizagem no curso de Letras Inglês da UFPB "

Abstract

This works intends to analyze the use of SIGAA (Integrated System for Management of Academic Activities) as a learning tool in the Letras English course (morning and evening shifts). This research was based on the Parâmetros Currículos Nacionais and on theoretical texts from Zacharias (2016) and Jung (2007) as well as on the SIGAA Federal University of Paraíba (UFPB) and Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN) websites, and resources from the Superintendence of Informational Technology (STI) and Pro-Rectory of Personal Management (PROGEP). A research by sampling was performed with the student body of Letras English and the data analysis was done qualitatively and quantifiably. In order to reflect about the use of SIGAA, we turned to literacy and digital literacy theories so as to understand how this system can be employed as learn too. Our analysis found that few technology tools from SIGAA are being used as learning resources. Besides that, the student body felt that more support could have been given by the University to help them use the system. On the other hand, SIGAA has brought students closer to their professors and the majority of those who took part in this survey are satisfied with SIGAA due to its agility and convenience.
