O impacto no aproveitamento do tempo e qualidade do aprendizado: estudo de caso sobre mentoria em informática

Abstract

The effectiveness of teaching methodologies directly impacts academic performance and the quality of learning. In this context, classroom mentoring was adopted as a strategy to enhance content comprehension and optimize teaching time. This study analyzed the effects of implementing mentoring in Integrated High School education, investigating its influence on learning and time management in the classroom. The research employed both qualitative and quantitative approaches, using structured questionnaires, diagnostic activities, and a final task, involving second-year students from the Environmental Technology course at a federal institution located in Pedro II, Brazil. The results indicated a significant increase in student engagement, improved content comprehension, development of academic autonomy, and better use of pedagogical time. The presence of mentors allowed doubts to be resolved without disrupting the class flow, reducing rework and enabling more time for content deepening. Therefore, it is concluded that mentoring is an effective and complementary strategy to traditional methodologies, fostering a more collaborative environment and strengthening the student’s role as an active agent in their own learning.
