Constructive Alignment and SOLO Taxonomy: relationships with the Khan Academy Domain System

Abstract

Information and communication technologies are tools that have been used in many areas and, in the educational field, they have given margin to the development of virtual environments with new pedagogical possibilities. Considering the incorporation of these tools in teaching and learning process, this research turned to analyze the Khan Academy environment as virtual support to conduct complementary activities of mathematics study with students which have difficulties about math subjects and/or in a state of lag, based on the theory on Constructive Alignment, by John Biggs. In view of the analyzes of the virtual environment according to the theoretical reference, a relationship was established between forms of organization of the virtual environment with its levels of dominance, and the forms of organization of the educational process supported by the theoretical validity. Following the qualitative patterns of the conceptual theoretical study, the discussions in this article argue about the connections between the related platform structures and the development stages of SOLO taxonomy and, besides that, it foments analyzes, thoughts and findings about the forms of organization, monitoring and evaluations of the educational process based on information and communication technologies.
