The Elements From the Learning Process: A Study About Online Education in the State of Mato Grosso/Brazil

摘要

The learning process exists when you have interaction, interactivity and mediation. This paper proposes to identify the relationship between such elements, when you have mediation by Digital Technologies of Information and Communication; in fact, it connotes learning. Based on research done on Virtual Learning Environments, we sought to analyze if these elements are present on the learning pathways of students, and if it affects their permanence on the courses. As a result, we verified if there would be a consolidation of interaction, interactivity and mediation in the triad subject-environment-subject, enabling the learning process. This is a qualitative research case-study. The collection of data focused on the Virtual Learning Environment, Moodle, with teachers, students, and tutors as subjects and its source as the undergraduate courses from the Brazilian Open University of the Federal University of Mato Grosso. The conclusion of this research allows for the identification of elements that are part of the learning process, as mentioned, consolidated on Moodle, and points to the learning process and its dynamics, that goes beyond the relationship established in these environments, inducing effective learning pathways.
