Análise de plataformas de dados educacionais o debate da equidade e a influência na compreensão e tomada de decisões dos usuários

Abstract

This article presents a qualitative analysis of platforms that map educational data, with an emphasis on equity, usability, and decision-making. The overall objective is to investigate how these platforms address equity and influence users understanding and decision-making, while specific objectives include describing the platforms interface, analyzing the impact of visual elements on understanding and decision-making, and identifying obstacles faced by users during interaction. Three platforms were selected for analysis - QEdu, Education Observatory, and IDeA - through a descriptive documentary research using books, articles, and websites as research sources. The results revealed that the platforms share the common goal of providing educational data to improve the education landscape, although they address this in different ways, with varied themes of analysis. Furthermore, a concern for equity was observed across all platforms, but areas for improvement in usability and decision-making assistance were also identified. It is concluded that the existence of these platforms is crucial for taking action regarding the educational context, highlighting the challenge of balancing content organization with the vast amount of content available for analysis.
