Desenvolvimento e avaliação de uma plataforma integrada para gestão e comunicação no processo de orientação de TCC

Abstract

This work addresses the issue of communication fragmentation and documentation disorder in the supervision of undergraduate final projects between advisors and students. The objective was to develop and evaluate a centralized web platform, named TCSync, capable of centralizing and integrating the main tools for interaction and academic management within a single virtual environment. The methodology adopted was based on Design Science Research, using modern technologies to develop a responsive application based on component architecture. The evaluation of the artifact was carried out through usability tests and questionnaires administered to actual users, who interacted with the system and simulated the roles of students and advisors. The results indicated high system acceptance, with an average score of 9.0 and an agreement rate exceeding 80% or higher regarding ease of use and effectiveness in information centralization. The final considerations indicate that TcSync fulfills its purpose by mitigating academic communication dispersion, organizing delivery workflows, and providing technical feedback. As future work, it is suggested to expand scheduling functionalities and investigate the platform's impact on academic indicators of student retention and project completion.
