Towards an understanding of interdependent relationships in the learning ecosystem

Abstract

The objective of the research was to describe the positive interdependence relationships that are contextualized and established in the learning ecosystem, by professors from the university context who belong to a mathematics network. The research was framed in a mixed approach, of applied and descriptive type. The sample consisted of twenty-five (25) professors from the university context. The instruments used were the survey and the semi-structured interview. The study showed that the relationship of interdependence in cognitive presence facilitates access to resources and learning materials, as well as interdependence in the interaction with educators, networks and the relationship between peers results from an integration of the collaboration space and cooperation. It was concluded that the learning ecosystem allows establishing positive relationships of interdependence for the transmission, production of knowledge and nodes of knowledge.
