Title:: Elaboration of Educational Material for the Teaching of Remote Sensing in Developing Countries-EDUCA SeRe PROGRAM. Tania Maria Sausen

Document type:: Monograph

Structure type:: Chapter

Parallel to all the problems already raised, there is one that hardly is remembered or mentioned, but that makes many professionals of the area to not want to be devoted to the elaboration of educational material “to generate educational material implies in time, patience, money and readiness to gather data, to write texts and to lose time with a great amount of details, activity that is tedious many times and weary” and that generally forces the researcher to abandon, temporarily, his research to devote himself exclusively for its preparation Many, after living this experience, simply do not want to repeat it, because in general the same importance is not attributed as research job. What is a contradiction, because without passing through a training and qualification period, done through educational activities, it is not possible to form researchers and professionals in the area of remote sensing, that is in any area. It is necessary to value the professional that is devoted to this activity, giving work conditions and wide diffusion to the educational material by him generated. EDUCA SeRe PROGRAM : Considering all the topics mentioned above, it is being developed in Brazil, through the Latin American Society of Remote Sensing - SELPER/Chapter Brazil and of the National Institute of Space Research - INPE, the EDUCA SeRe PROGRAM, whose objective is to generate educational material, at a low cost and in the regional languages, dedicated to the teaching of remote sensing at primary, secondary and tertiary levels, in such a way that disseminates and makes accessible this technology to the all the society. The program’s specific objectives are : to promote the creation of a critical mass about the use and the application of the regional remote sensing technology, through the dissemination and commercialization of educational material at a low cost; to diffuse, in the teaching staff and students, different products acquired at the present time by existing remote sensing satellite, in such a way that they are widely used; to socialize the knowledge of remote sensing to foment new research projects and applications in the natural resource area; to motivate teaching institutions, such as universities, to take part in the elaboration of educational material for the teaching of remote sensing; to motivate private companies to collaborate in the making of educational material turned to teaching of remote sensing; The great challenge of the EDUCA SeRe PROGRAM is, therefore, to generate educational material with remote sensing data that will be made available, to the public in general, in a wide, accessible way, with regional example and languages and, mainly at a low cost. It is expected that at the end of the program, several educational materials have been generated in the area of remote sensing and that more professionals are motivated to dedicate themselves to its generation. For being of program that seeks exclusively to assist the educational lack and to promote the diffusion of remote sensing in a wide way in developing countries, it can be perfectly adapted to be developed in other areas around the globe, that present same difficulties, being enough to consider the local languages and to use examples with images of the area in subject. This program is divided into five modules, each one of them being constituted in a project, being all of them turned to the elaboration of educational materia! for the teaching of remote sensing: EDUCA SeRe I PROJECT - Educational Notebooks on Remote Sensing Teaching : This project aims to create a series of educational notebooks, approaching the several remote sensing applications in the natural resource area, with wide access through the Internet, to be used in primary, secondary and tertiary teaching. The specific objectives of the project are : to make use of computer science resources, internet and multimedia for the generation of educational material dedicated to the teaching of remote sensing; to provide a wide popularization of the educational material elaborated for the teaching of remote sensing; to turn accessible in a wide way and at a low cost, educational material for the teaching of remote sensing through the internet. Several educational notebooks will be generated, containing remote sensing images and a text, basically on the subject that will be being approached in each notebook. The notebooks will have larger emphasis in the satellite images than in the text, that should only summarize the explanation related to the images that compose it. Each one of them will have 30 or 40 pages at most, depending on the subject, with great amount of images and drawings and they will be published systematically for two years, through the Internet, in SELPER/Chapter Brazil’s homepage; a scientific society that has ramifications all over Latin America. The fact of them being published through the Internet allows that a great amount of colored images is used, because they can be reproduced by colored printer, ink jet, in the computer itself (486, 586 or Pentium 100) of the teacher, student or school. This just implies in the printer’s paper and ink costs. In case the interested does not have access to these types of means, the institution that generated the notebooks can take care of its reproduction and to already collect the price regarding the costs mentioned, that is around US 15.00. Another advantage of publishing these notebooks through the Internet is that as the publication costs are sensibly reduced, it is
