Supplementary Materials and Competency Matrix for "Advancing Transformative Agency in Educommunicative Ecosystems: Contributions to Critical Ocean Literacy in Brazil"

Abstract

This repository contains supplementary materials supporting the manuscript “Advancing Transformative Agency in Educommunicative Ecosystems: Contributions to Critical Ocean Literacy in Brazil.” The manuscript examines how an interinstitutional educommunicative ecosystem formed through the Brazilian Future Ocean Panel (PainelMar) and its Brazilian Ocean Horizon (HOB) program co-designed transformative competencies for critical Ocean literacy and Ocean governance. The supplementary materials document the participatory qualitative synthesis, competency-based learning framework, and Theory of Transformative Agency (TTA)-based scoring procedure used in the analysis. The materials include generative questions, documented educommunicative pedagogical practices, seeds of good practice, learning objectives, knowledge/skills/attitudes competencies, course modules, the AI-assisted and human-supervised coding protocol, the TTA competency scoring matrix, and contextual information on PainelMar/HOB. Version 2 corrections (30 September 2026): SM VI corrects two column labels: the seventh TTA column is 1.2.4, previously duplicated as 1.2.3; the twenty-sixth is 3.1.3, previously mislabeled 4.1.3. All 92 competencies, 3,036 scoring cells, row totals and comments are unchanged. The verified aggregate score is 442. SM V explicitly locates the full TTA dictionary in Table 1 of the accompanying article. Creator names and order are aligned with the accepted article, including Adayse Bosolani, and the README citation is updated.
