Abstract:
Currently is seen the need of students develop various skills for good social life such as critical thinking. Aiming to find alternatives to these problem, this work introduces the COEXA model, supported by inquirybased learning and social web for educational environments. This model encourages the student to be more active in the learning process by creating and answering questions and also interacting with other students. For this, the fundamentals of the approaches were studied and the survey of related works was also performed. This model can be applied in different educational environments, but for this work an instance of COEXA was implemented in AdaptWeb R (Adaptive Web based learning Environment), and to evaluate its applicability, an experiment was accomplished with students. From this experiment, we collected the interaction data from 89 participants and their opinion were collected through a questionnaire survey. Analyzing the answers and the data collected, it was possibl
e to notice that students thought that the possibility of creating exercises to keep their knowledge and interact with others is very interesting, but they had difficulty with managing time, insecurity and doubts about the creation process.
