Relato de experiência sobre o curso linux ubuntu aplicado no CEEP - José Pacífico

Abstract

This article reports the experience of teaching a practical course on the installation, configuration, and use of the Linux Ubuntu operating system at an educational institution. The main objective was to provide high school students with the opportunity to acquire essential knowledge about an open-source system, promoting digital inclusion and the development of technical and critical skills. The theoretical foundation of the study was based on the principles of free software and the relevance of practical learning in educational environments, highlighting the transformative role of technology in student development. The methodology adopted was descriptive and qualitative in nature, involving direct observation of activities, practical exercises, and assessments to measure the assimilation of fundamental concepts and basic system commands. The results showed a significant improvement in student performance, evidenced by enhanced task execution and a better understanding of the operating system’s fundamentals. In this way, the course proved effective in achieving the proposed objectives. The report emphasizes the importance of integrating theory and practice, suggesting that similar initiatives can decisively contribute to improving students' technological education.
