Resumo(s)
Nos anos 90, Donald Norman, hoje professor emérito da Universidade da Califórnia, usava
pela primeira vez o termo experiência do usuário ou user experience (UX), sabendo que o
termo transcendia o design de um ambiente digital, hardware e software e adentrava os
campos dos afetos e da subjetividade, da percepção e experiência humana. Um curso na
modalidade EAD, caracterizado como uma prestação de serviço a um consumidor adulto,
carregado de julgamentos, expectativas, habilidades e estratégias, proporciona-lhe
experiências não somente dentro dos ambientes virtuais de aprendizagem, mas também em
suas interações com e-tutores, conteúdos, com outros estudantes e com a própria instituição.
Nesse contexto, é importante entender mais a fundo as variáveis que levam um aluno a formar
sua percepção acerca de cursos nessa modalidade, ajudando instituições provedoras a
potencializar os pontos críticos de sucesso, enquanto antecipa e, oportunamente, rechaça
aquilo que causa os alunos a desistirem da tão sonhada certificação. Sendo assim, esta
dissertação investigou amplamente o termo experiência do usuário, suas expectativas e
frustrações ao longo de cursos na modalidade de e-learning, que podem levar à evasão. Sob
uma perspectiva naturalista e através de uma técnica de análise de conteúdo, esta investigação
exploratória qualitativa, objetiva contribuir para a melhor compreensão das experiências
vividas pelos alunos na modalidade e-learning e suas descobertas, alimento para práticas que
contribuam para a retenção. A abordagem utilizada foi a de uma entrevista semidiretiva
aplicada a um universo de quatro informantes que tinham experiência como alunos na
modalidade de e-learning. As descobertas estão presentes nas interações ou na qualidade
delas, nos aspectos sociais, isto é na intaração entre alunos, entre tutor e alunos e entre alunos
e conteúdo, qualidade de feedback dos e-moderadores, sentimentos quanto aos critérios de
avaliação, tratamento impessoal e massificado, ergonomia, aulas síncronas, materiais
disponibilizados, gerenciamento de tempo,
escolha do curso, design instrucional, empatia e sensação de presença do e-moderador,
percepção do aluno de sua própria evolução e apropriação dos conhecimentos, sensação de
pertencimento, dentre outros fatores ocultos que contribuem para o êxito ou desistência dos e-alunos.
In the 90’s, Donald Norman, current professor at UCLA, used the term user experience (UX) for the first time, fully aware the term transcended the design of a digital environment, hardware and software, and tapped into the fields of subjectivity and affection, perception and human experience. An online course, regarded as service rendering, targeting adult customers, impregnated with judgements, expectations, skills and strategies, provides them with experiences not only with virtual environments but also with e-tutors, contents and the institution itself. In such context, one must more deeply understand the variables that form a student’s perception of courses in the online mode, helping institutions to potentiate their success factors, while they also identify and phase down the ones that lead students to give up their dream certification and drop out. Therefore, this dissertation has investigated the term user experience in depth and breadth, as well as students’ expectations and frustrations in elearning that may lead to evasion. Under a naturalistic perspective and through content analysis, this qualitative study aims to contribute to a better understanding of experiences lived by e-students and new findings, food for retention best practices. The methodology used was semidirected interviews applied to four respondents with varied and solid e-Learning experiences. Findings are present in interactions and in their quality, social aspects or connections among students, teachers and contents, feedback quality and frequency, students feelings, rubrics, massification of customer service, impersonal treatment, ergonomics and well-being, self-regulatory skills, course choosing, instructional design, empathy, emoderator presence perception, sense of belonging, among other less evident factors that will contribute to either students’ failure or success in e-learning experiences.
