Resumo: Representações externas são muito utilizadas no ensino de bioquímica. As vias metabólicas constituem um tipo de representação externa e envolvem habilidades visuais; estão, portanto, intimamente relacionados à literacia visual (capacidade de interpretar imagens). Há uma preocupação crescente em diagnosticar a dificuldade dos estudantes com a bioquímica. Este tipo de diagnóstico é importante para poder propor soluções pedagógicas que possam facilitar o aprendizado. O presente trabalho tem como objetivo descrever o desenvolvimento e a aplicação de um teste informatizado para diagnosticar a literacia visual, relacionada ao estudo de vias metabólicas, de estudantes de cursos das áreas biológica e da saúde. Inicialmente foram desenvolvidos testes piloto com itens (modelos e questões) que contemplavam habilidades visuais para a compreensão de vias metabólicas mais frequentemente representadas em livros didáticos de bioquímica. Os testes piloto foram aplicados em 2007 e 2008 com turmas de graduação de cursos da área biológica e da saúde. Os resultados obtidos serviram de subsídio para que alguns itens fossem reformulados e outros adicionados. Os resultados obtidos foram tratados com uso do modelo de Rasch, tanto no processo de equalização dos testes piloto (para definir os itens do teste final), como para o tratamento dos resultados obtidos com a calibração de itens-respondentes após as aplicações do teste final. Três grupos participaram da aplicação do teste final e compreenderam 79 estudantes distribuídos entre os cursos de educação física (UNICAMP), enfermagem (UNICAMP) e fisioterapia/nutrição (FAJ). A partir dos dados obtidos utilizou-se o processo de calibração de itens-respondentes, proposta pelo modelo de Rasch, obtendo-se a dificuldade dos itens e as habilidades visuais apresentadas pelos grupos. Os resultados observados sugerem que entre as dificuldades apresentadas pelos estudantes no aprendizado de metabolismo pode ser incluída a dificuldade em se compreender as representações externas de vias metabólicas. Essa dificuldade pode ser minimizada com explicações dos modelos antes de se entrar nos conteúdos específicos. O teste produzido permite o diagnóstico de estudantes ou de grupos. A necessidade de desenvolver práticas de visualização para melhorar a compreensão de conceitos bioquímicos pelos estudantes mostrou-se um aspecto importante no estudo de vias metabólicas
Abstract: External representations are used in teaching of biochemistry. The metabolic pathways are a type of external representation and involve visual skills, are therefore closely related to visual literacy (ability to interpret images). There is an increasing concern regarding the diagnosis of students with difficulty to the biochemistry, this type of diagnosis is important to be able to propose solutions that would facilitate learning. This paper aims to describe the development and implementation of a computerized test to diagnose the visual literacy, related to the study of metabolic pathways for undergraduate students enrolled in courses in the biological and health. Initially, pilot tests have been developed with (models and items) that looked visual skills for the understanding of metabolic pathways most often represented in textbooks of biochemistry. The pilot tests were applied in 2007 and 2008 on undergraduate classes of various courses in the biological and health. The results served as a subsidy for some items were reformulated and others added. The results are processed using the Rasch model, both in the process of equalizing the pilot tests (for set of the final test) and for the treatment of the results obtained with calibration of items-respondents the applications for the final test. Three groups participated in the implementation of the final test and included 79 students distributed among the courses of physical education (UNICAMP), nursing (UNICAMP) and physiotherapy/nutrition (FAJ). From the data we used the calibration of items-respondents proposed by Rasch model resulting in the difficulty of items and visual skills presented by the groups. The results suggest that among the difficulties presented by the students in the learning of metabolism may be included the difficulty in understanding the external representations of metabolic maps. This difficulty can be minimized with the explanations of the models before they enter the specific content. The test produced allows the diagnosis of students or groups. The need of developing imagery to improve the understanding of biochemical concepts by students were an important aspect in the study of metabolic pathways

Full textThis thesis discuss the issue of visually handicapped, who have ingressed or egressed on higher education of São Paulo as information is regarded; identifying how these students realize the information need and how to acquire, understand and use it. Therefore, a bibliographic review has been developed to discuss the historical and conceptual aspects of Information Literacy, as well as its actions aiming students of higher education. The Brazilians visually handicappeds environment was regarded, focusing on higher education and considering the intellectual, technological, access to physical resources and content scenery in which they live in. In this context, a map of abilities and information literacy skills to be developed by visually handicapped was created, starting from Carol Kuhlthaus Information Literacy model named Information Search Process ISP, which shows the development of gathering instruments, the gathering itself and the analysis of the gathered data. Because it is an exploratory study, a qualitative approach was considered, using the user study to create a map of the questions proposed. A semi-structured interview was made with 10 visually handicapped on graduation or postgraduate education. Produced the results from the diagnosis made in the research and study by Christina Doyle which presents a survey of the predicates for a person to be considered \"information literate.\" As a final result, it presents a list of possible actions for the actors of the educational process of the visually handicapped, especially in higher education, can define actions necessary for the development or promotion of Information Literacy programs specific to the visually handicapped, in order to make them competent in information. It was identified that these actions are contained in three dimensions related to the barriers of accessibility: informational, digital and within relationships.

Full textIn this study I examine the concept of visual literacy and the way it is incorporated into, and interpreted by Curriculum 2005, from the perspective of the educational illustrator. In order to come to a better understanding of the notion of visual literacy, I explore the extensive body of literature on this topic, from which it is evident that there is little consensus regarding an academic understanding of visual literacy. An analysis of the way the notion of visual literacy is interpreted and implemented by Curriculum 2005 reveals a considerable lack of clarity on the part of curriculum designers. One of the main reasons for this is the problematic use of a "literacy" analogy in their engagement with the visual mode.

O ritmo acelerado de inovação tecnológica destaca as questões da relação entre usuários, objetos e ambientes digitais, e, evidencia, no contexto das interfaces gráficas, a existência de uma Alfabetização Visual-Digital. O meio digital, construído pela intersecção de diferentes mídias que misturam gêneros visuais distintos, exige dos usuários um conjunto específico de habilidades, uma vez que a instabilidade das interações digitais define uma dinâmica única entre designers, plataformas e usuários. Por isso, torna-se de extrema importância a investigação quanto às diferentes habilidades e processos de alfabetização desenvolvidos por usuários de tecnologia ao interagir na esfera digital. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi pesquisar o impacto da Alfabetização Visual, por meio da aquisição de repertórios, na experiência de usuários no acesso aos dispositivos móveis. Para tanto, trabalhou-se com a hipótese de que um repertório visual limitado é causa direta da ocorrência de uma Alfabetização Digital insuficiente para determinados usuários. Para uma base teórica, foram levantadas a evolução das tecnologias e das interfaces gráficas do usuário (GUIs); além de formalizados os conceitos de Alfabetização Visual e Digital. A partir desse levantamento, foram definidas duas técnicas de avaliação: um Teste de Compreensão Iconográfica e um Teste de Usabilidade. Os resultados finais de ambas as técnicas aplicadas mostraram que a Alfabetização Visual influencia, de fato, no desempenho dos usuários na interação com dispositivos, comprovando que a Alfabetização Digital se relaciona com os repertórios visuais dos indivíduos.
The rapid pace of technical innovation highlights the issues of the relationship between users, digital objects and environments, and, in the context of graphical interfaces, shows the existence of Visual-Digital Literacy. The digital medium, built by the intersection of different media that mix distinct visual genres, requires people to have a specific set of skills, since the instability of digital interactions defines a unique dynamic between designers, platforms and users. Hence, it becomes of the utmost importance to research on the different skills and processes of literacy developed by technology users when interacting in the digital sphere. This master s research proposes as an overall intention to investigate the impact of Visual Literacy, through the acquisition of repertoires, in users access to mobile devices. To that effect, the research hypothesis is that a limited visual repertoire is a direct cause of users deficiency in Digital Literacy skills. For a theoretical basis, the evolution of technologies and graphical user interfaces (GUIs) were raised; as well as outlined the concepts of Visual and Digital Literacy. Succeeding this review, two evaluation techniques were defined: an Iconographic Comprehension Test and a Usability Test. The final results of both applied techniques showed that Visual Literacy does influence on the performance of users in the interaction with devices, proving that Digital Literacy relates to people visual repertoires.

Food media such as cookbooks, magazines, and television programs have become enormously popular in the last 15 to 20 years, but they have remained relatively unexamined in empirical media research. The focus of this project is the audience's perception of visual food media, specifically the capacity for critical evaluation of such media by adult women. `Food-media literacy' is the term coined in this work to describe such critical competence. The first phase of this project began to conceptualize food-media literacy with a pair of focus groups in which participants examined a series of print food advertisements. Discussion in the groups was guided by several of the core questions of media literacy. In the second phase, an experiment was conducted to examine the influence of a slick, professionally styled photo on an adult woman's interpretation of the recipe it illustrated. The primary hypothesis was that such an image would make the subject less likely to respond with confidence that she could follow the recipe and produce a similar result - a self-efficacious response. Other data collected in the experiment were the subjects' food-media literacy, cooking experience, food media use, experience using digital imaging technology, and cognitive style. The primary statistical analysis did not detect a significant relationship between the quality of the photo illustration and the subjects' self-efficacious response. Secondary analysis revealed that cooking experience was the only factor that influenced self-efficacy. Additional analyses confirmed the validity of the food-media literacy scale, and revealed important insights regarding the role of experience with digital imaging technology, and subjects' perception of food media as a genre.

Full textAn estimated 18.8 % of South African adults aged 15-49 are currently living with HIV. While HIV literacy campaigns and other strategies have aimed to reduce HIV incidence, there remains a general lack of knowledge of the biomedical nature of the disease. This not only inhibits attempts to reduce HIV transmission, but also discourages voluntary counseling and testing (VCT), accessing clinic care and the uptake of antiretroviral therapy. This dissertation identifies the essential role played by community health workers and treatment activists who offer 'HIV literacy' in their communities and assist the formal health care system. The aim of this study was to complement these initiatives with the development and analysis of a visual and participatory HIV literacy workshop.
