Abstract

PEREIRA, Dauster Souza et al. Hypermedia in Mobile Devices for Self-Directed Learning about Health: the caregiver’s perception. Rev. iberoam. tecnol. educ. educ. tecnol. [online]. 2021, n.29, pp.27-35. ISSN 1851-0086.

This study aims to understand the perception of the caregiver, caregiver (usually a family member) and person with special care in the self-directed learning process in a non-formal context using mobile hypermedia. The research is applied, explanatory, qualitative and quantitative and experimental design. The self-directed learning analysis of this study included the perspective of characteristics (process) and application. The results of the experiment showed that participants had self-directed learning skills, such as making notes of important points (75.6%), self-confidence (82.9%), emphasizing important points (87.8%) and whether accounted for the learning process (87.8%). Despite the positive aspect of self-directed learning, some skills were assessed as fragile: ability to relate theoretical knowledge to everyday life, full understanding that study immediately before a test is not permanent, and that motivation does not guarantee focus (even motivated can be distracted and deviate from your goal).
