CAE na rede : construindo um aplicativo para os estudantes do ensino médio integrado

Abstract

Education that has historically been marked by dualism, has been changing and seeking to develop actions that overcome this issue, allowing everyone to have access to comprehensive training. In this process of democratization of education, student assistance policies assume an important role so that students are better able to access and remain in the educational institution, with the necessary support to develop fully. In this context, the present study aimed to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of an application as a tool to facilitate access to student assistance documents developed at the IFFar campus São Vicente do Sul. This is a qualitative and quantitative study, which resulted in two articles. In the first, we sought to identify the perceptions of students in relation to student assistance policies developed on campus and what are their impacts on the permanence of students in the institution. In the second article, the educational product, the CAE application on the network, was evaluated as a facilitating tool for accessing documents on campus student assistance policies. In view of the results, a contradiction was identified at the first moment, where students claim to know the student assistance policies developed on campus, but they do not know their concept and everything that they encompass. The policies that students use the most or have used are food, housing, health and pedagogical assistance. To access policy documents developed on campus, the means most used by students are the institutional website, exchanges between colleagues, welcoming meetings and murals. However, for students these forms of access are partially satisfactory. In the second moment, after using the CAE application on the network, the students were able to evaluate this educational product, where they stated that it was well organized, and that they would use it frequently and recommend its use to colleagues and at welcoming meetings. After browsing, they claimed to know partially what student assistance policies are and everything they involve, continue to point out these policies as important for the students' permanence in the institution. In addition, for students, the application fulfills its function of facilitating access to student assistance policy documents, making research easier and more practical, being a tool that mainly helps students entering the institution. In view of this, it is clear the importance of studies on student assistance policies in integrated high school, as this is a modality that requires students to stay full time in the institution and that makes it essential, actions and strategies that provide conditions for them to students can stay and develop fully. The need to expand spaces for dialogue on the topic is emphasized, seeking to recognize these policies as a social right, aimed at democratizing education and reducing social inequalities.
