Design Centrado no Usuário e concepções pedagógicas como guia para o desenvolvimento da animação educacional.

The production of graphic animation for elementary school has proliferated due to new communication technologies and the need for new resources to aid the learning. However, many animations are just reproductions of printed material, without an appropriate use of technology, unadjusted for the student / user and, not in line with current pedagogical concepts. This paper aims to search in literature the basis for a procedure to design instructional materials (graphic animation) connected to constructivist conceptions by applying User-Centered Design (UCD) principles. With this goal, the authors presents a literature review, compares Vygotsky's principles and UCD, and indicating a possible design process that can help making learning animation more engaged with constructivist approaches and closer to the students.
