Searching methodologies of (re)construction of learnings from the interaction with the computer

Abstract

This article reports a process of Scientific Initiation which aimed to investigate methodologies for (re)construction of learnings from the interaction with the computer. Initially, for the composition of a catalogue of electronic games, searches in the Internet had been made collecting softwares that were capable of triggering different learnings, classified according to the approached thematic and difficulty level presented. Beside this instrument, some activities, traditionally used in clinic, had been translated to be carried through with the aid of the computer and the Internet. In the second part of the work, two clinical cares were carried following the model of the Convergent Epistemology with enrolled children in the Service of Applied Psychology of the Federal University of São João Del-Rei had been carried through. From the presented results, we discuss how the use of electronic games and other activities mediated by the computer can be a possible tool to promote a more interested and less apprehensive approach of the points of difficulty that the school can’t solve by the most traditional methods used in classroom.
