Plataforma de streaming com ambiente voice thread guiado por aprendizagem tecnológica ativa livre

Abstract

This dissertation focused on the creation, implementation, and evaluation of a streaming platform integrated with the Voice Thread environment, guided by free active technological learning methodologies, aimed at health education, particularly in the context of nursing in radiotherapy and brachytherapy. This work was developed as part of the Professional Master's Program in Health Education at the Graduate Program of the Faculty of Medicine, Federal University of Alagoas, with the objective of exploring the potential of Digital Information and Communication Technologies (DICTs) in professional health education. The research employed virtual ethnography as a methodological approach, enabling the analysis of user interactions within the digital environment through educational videos published on YouTube. These videos were developed based on Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), adapted into an interactive digital format with animations and narrations to enhance content comprehension. The study was conducted in three main phases: development of the streaming platform, collection of qualitative and quantitative data on user engagement, and analysis of comments and feedback provided on the videos. The results indicated that the videos were well received by the target audience, composed of nurse educators, preceptors, nursing students, and other health professionals. Comments praised the clarity, practical applicability, and organization of the materials, highlighting their relevance for both clinical practice and education. The thematic categories identified in the content analysis included material quality, humanization of care, strengths and weaknesses of care processes, educational and didactic relevance, and the impact on patients' quality of life. Humanization, in particular, was recognized as a key differentiator in oncology patient care. Although the majority of users consumed the content passively, the research demonstrated the potential of active methodologies combined with digital technologies to foster greater engagement and autonomy in learning. The inclusion of interactive activities and practical challenges at the end of the videos was suggested as a strategy to enhance viewer participation. This study concludes that integrating digital platforms into health education can expand the reach of educational content and provide a more dynamic and meaningful learning experience, especially when employing innovative approaches such as virtual ethnography and active learning methodologies. The development of interactive digital educational products, such as animated SOPs, proved effective in standardizing and ensuring the safety of care practices, contributing to the technical and humanized training of health professionals. Thus, this dissertation proposes a replicable model for developing innovative educational resources, emphasizing the importance of uniting technology, pedagogy, and humanization to address the challenges of health education. Future initiatives should consider expanding content to other nursing areas and incorporating strategies that promote greater interaction and student protagonism in the teaching-learning process.
