Integrated Intermodal Model of Online Teaching-Learning: A Proposal Focusing on Edu-Communication and Online Interactions

Abstract

The advent of the pandemic in the years 2020-2021 further deepened the discussion about educational design that was guided by educational communicative practices. The objective of this work was to develop an online teaching-learning model focused on interaction and edu-communication. The study followed the Integrated Mixed Research Strategy in five stages. Firstly, the problem and objectives of the research were identified, by surveying the theoretical framework. Next, a qualitative field study was conducted with qualitative meta-synthesis and content analysis. The information collected revealed a correlation between the content of the articles and the main approaches in the theoretical foundation, pointing to a collaborative learning model in online teaching, with a focus on learning communities, modularization of objectives and content, and emphasis on interaction, being observed a lack in the methodological area of ​​edu-communication and interrelations with interaction. To develop the Integrated Intermodal Model of online teaching-learning, concepts from convergent approaches and theories from the meta-synthesis sample were added. This resulted in a prototype of online educational design for flexible, digital environments, supported by ICTs, promoting reflection, interaction, autonomy, and dialogue. It is important to highlight that the model requires additional replication, review, testing, and validation.
