O design de produto digital como ferramenta de transformação social: desenvolvimento de artefato pedagógico digital interativo para musicalização em uma organização não governamental

Abstract

The purpose of this research consists of developing a Digital Pedagogical Artifact aimed at remote musicalization, within the scope of the Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) Instituto Vida Videira. The study sought to understand four essential elements: the context of musical teaching, the dynamics of education in virtual environments, the social role of Design and the potential of digital artifacts to improve pedagogical processes at the NGO Instituto Videira. The investigation revealed how the application of Design can act as a catalyst in obtaining significant results for digital pedagogical teaching in social contexts. This project had Participatory Design (PD) as its research methodology, and as a basis for the development of the chosen artifact, elements of Garrett's user experience were used. Thus, in the first stage, corresponding to Garrett's Strategy Plan and the first stage of the DP, research was carried out for the theoretical framework, definition of the methodology and tools, structure of the interview and analysis of similar aspects. In the second stage of DP, aligned with the Scope Plan and the Structure Plan, immersive procedures were carried out, including an interview and the application of “Fly on the Wall” DP. During the interview with a teacher from the institution, it was possible to understand both the context of the classes and the organization of the institution in relation to the music school. Using the "Fly on the Wall" tool, it was possible to observe the students' interaction with the environment, the teacher, the instruments and each other, transforming this data into functional and content requirements. In the third stage of the DP, dedicated to generating ideas and prototyping, corresponding to Garrett's Skeleton and Surface Plans, the style guide was defined and prototype solutions were developed, validated through meetings and by Monk's Cooperative Assessment tool. With this, the proposed objectives were achieved. The project highlighted the importance of teaching and music in social inclusion, but identified the need to improve accessibility and the teacher's journey to optimize the experience for everyone involved.
