A Teoria das Inteligências Múltiplas como Suporte para a Autoria de Vídeos Interativos

Abstract

This research deals with the authoring productions of interactive videos by professors to trigger human capabilities, based on a conceptual model that is based on Gardner`s Theory of Multiple Intelligences (2000). It was used the experimental descriptive methodology, within a qualitative approach and involved staff from the computer science and education areas, in a context where experimentation created a computational tool for construction of interactive educational content (MARKER). This authoring tool validated the conceptual model, since the interactive application produced by this tool is anchored in Gardner, whose perception the subject, having certain intelligence driven, will have improved their cognitive potential. As proof of concept, four professors produced three interactive applications, using thirty-one interactive features involving the linguistic, logic-mathematical, spatial, musical, interpersonal and bodily-kinesthetic intelligences. From the use of these intelligences it was possible to create entry points or routes to knowledge as Gardner discusses in his theory. The types of media used were image, audio and video. The analyzes show that the audiovisual content were produced in order to trigger a set of intelligences on the learner. Professors, according to the characteristics indicated for each intelligence by Gardner in his theory, were able to make use of innovative forms of authoring educational content. The produced interactive application test was conducted with undergraduate and career school learners in the areas of computer science and health, respectively, with the age group between 20 and 40 years. Considering that skills to use technologies is a requirement of the globalized world, the findings of this study can serve as a basis so that audiovisual content already produced can be reinterpreted.
