USE OF THE COMPUTATIONAL TOOL “XMIND” TO PREPARE MIND MAPS WITH HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS

Abstract

This article describes the reports and experiences carried out during the period of supervised internship II in the Computing Degree course at the State University of Amazonas (UEA), in a public school in the municipality of Itacoatiara-Am. The supervised internship had a total workload of 210 hours, being divided into Observations/Co-Participation and conducting. The main objective of the internship is to prepare the graduate, based on experiences with the future teaching profession, as well as analyze and articulate theory with practice in the teaching context. The use of technological resources has been gradually growing within the school environment by teachers, enabling students to use various tools as pedagogical support. Technological tools combined with education have become a great resource in the construction of one's own knowledge, without completely depending on classes taught by teachers, in which he argues that “computational tools have been used as pedagogical materials that can leverage the teaching and learning process . During the supervised internship, field observations are carried out, we gather information and survey the class, in order to analyze how the intervention management should be applied, based on a problem encountered. The use of the technological resource “XMind” on the subject “Identity and Diversity”, using the computational tool “XMind” to create Mind Maps focused on the subject. The intention was to present positive and negative aspects, as well as the interest of students, which is undoubtedly fundamental. The use of the computational tool only added to this, as we know that technology is increasingly growing and evolving among young people, and with this the class has become more fun and enjoyable. The general objective of this work was to be able to: share together with students and teachers the teaching of the technological tool “XMIND” to assist and create mental maps, through the subject “Identity and Diversity. Having as specific objectives (i) Use the technological tool to create mind maps, (ii) Establish dialogues together with colleagues and teachers regarding the creation of mind maps, (iii) Promote within the school environment, an environment in which the difference should not be treated carelessly, but rather treated correctly so that there is no violence.
