Virtualization: Cultural Activities As a Complement to Education

PROJECT

Virtualization: Cultural Activities as a Complement of Education

Society is increasingly connected to the virtualization of processes which occurs through the Digital Technologies of Communication and Information – TDIC (Boughzala, Assar, & Junior, 2010). Such virtuality forms a sociocultural complexes, as it involves people with different competences: knowledge, skills and attitudes, each of them interacting with the others’ intentions and interpretations of the world view. This phenomenon occurs in all areas, including teaching-learning (Noveli & Albertin, 2017). The aim of this project is to implement an online course on Cultural Activities as a Complement of Education – ACCE with emphasis on the Curriculum Guidelines of the Accounting Sciences course established by the Ministry of Education and Culture of Brazil – MEC. Specifically, the course intends to identify the profiles of the graduates, mention the necessary skills of the graduates, map the intersections between profiles and skills and learning resources and create a Cultural Activity room in a Virtual Environment of Learning – AVA. The relevance of this course arises from the need to direct and align the competencies of the graduates in Accounting Sciences, ensuring the education inclusive, equitable and quality education based on the guidance of the Ministry of Education and with focus on Sustainable Development Goal 4 of the United Nations in Brazil, which aims to increase the number of young people and adults with relevant skills for decent work or entrepreneurship (UN, 2017).
