Abstract

Abstract:  This work presents the development and validation of MOABES, a module of the Network of Friends of Study (RAE). The RAE platform is an educational social network aimed at students in Integrated Technical Education for High School (ETI), developed by the research group Data and Image Mining (MiDI), of the Federal Institute of Triângulo Mineiro (IFTM). MOABES is an educational product, focused on the teacher, resulting from a research done by the Professional Master's Program in Professional and Technological Education (ProfEPT). The goal of this study is to develop a RAE module, which presents good levels of usability and functionality, which analyzes the performance of ETI students in the entrance exams and that provides the teacher with learning indicators capable of assisting him in making strategic decisions for the evolution of teaching and learning processes. Bibliographic studies on Learning Analytics Dashboard and Software Usability Tests, guided the search, choice and development of six functionalities for MOABES, among those we can highlight the Dashboard for the Teacher. The validation of MOABES took place through a usability test involving ten teachers who qualitatively assessed the usability and functionality of the product. From the teachers' opinions, it is possible to perceive the potential of MOABES in supporting teaching action to improve teaching and learning, as well as the agreement of participating teachers in relation to the adoption of MOABES by IFTM as one of its evaluative instruments.

Keywords: MOABES. Learning Analytics Dashboard. Software Usability Tests. Learning Assessment.
