Abstract:
This study presents a differentiated approach to the Teaching Plan (PE) that can be used in any higher education institution (HEI). The study concentrated on two institutions located in the state of Rio Grande do Sul - Brazil and had as main justification the dissatisfaction of the students in face of the passive presentations of the teaching plans made by the teachers. Knowing that the traditional forms of detailing the Teaching Plan do not meet the expectations of students, the authors of this study proposed something based on active methodologies. Thus, it seeks to awaken the student's interest in this process and especially to make this moment more pleasurable for both the student and the teacher. In the activity proposed in this article, the student becomes the protagonist of the explanation of this very important document in the learning process, he actively participates in the creation of a conceptual map created with the collaboration of his colleagues and mediated by the tea
cher. In order to make this possible, the present study sought to explore technologies that provide interactivity in presential or remote classrooms. Thus, through the Coggle tool it was possible to make classes more attractive based on the teaching plan. Then, after a few months of carrying out the activity, students answered a questionnaire to validate their degree of satisfaction with this proposal. The result was analysed in a qualitative way and obtained more than 90% of satisfaction on the part of the interviewees. As a conclusion of the study, it is possible to state that the proposed activity made the process of explaining the teaching plan more enjoyable and active for the student.
