Franklin Puker de Sousa — 2025-04-25

Write a book for teaching computational tools to students and professionals in the area of Engineering can be a hard work for those interested in doing so. Plus, beyond the complexity of the subject itself and the didactics required for the book, are rare scientific productions available in literature that cover the modes of development of books for educational purposes. Therefore, to meet the need to offer support to potential authors, this article presents the steps that led to the elaboration of a didactic book, involving the step by step for the guide development, the teaching-learning strategies applied, and the process of catalog record and publication of the book. For this purpose, we present, as a case of study, a guide developed for teaching simulation of building performance. With this study, we pretend to provide the future authors a detailed method for the development of academic books, focusing on teachers linked to Engineering courses, where research and publications in this sense are rare.

Good practices for publishing high impact research on teaching and learning

María de la Caridad Smith Batson — 2025-04-25

Publishing research papers on teaching and learning is increasingly difficult in this information-overloaded era; however, strategic approaches can be employed to disseminate findings within the academic community. The goal is to provide an overview of strategies to this end and to make an impact. This idea arises from three sources of information: my experience as an author and editor, the review of texts for publication, some in fields other than education, and results of an exploratory study of exemplary research manuscripts over two years. I delve into the need for a rigorous and methodologically sound study, as a guarantee of validity and reliability of the results. Threats of plagiarism, techniques for a compelling and engaging narrative, and how to successfully navigate the peer review process and addressing reviewer comments to improve manuscript quality are explored. I emphasize the importance of maximizing the scope and impact of research results, graphing them, as ways to provide illustrated and accessible knowledge. Finally, recommendations and examples are offered that address steps to follow to elaborate a good article, the content of each of its parts, the style of writing, the value and importance of references, to improve the visibility and relevance of the work and to contribute to the advancement of teaching and learning practices, in the light of current thinking.
