Background: Teamwork is central component of any software development organization. Therefore, the assessment of teamwork quality is important for team management in practice. TWQ (Teamwork Quality) is a measure of the quality of intra-team interactions developed specifically for software development teams. Aims: To perform a differentiated replication of previous studies on TWQ to expand the contexts in which TWQ has been applied, to refine the measurement instrument, increasing its reliability and validity, and to identify possibilities for future research on software teams. Method: We performed a crosssectional survey collecting data from all 18 teams in one single software organization and from all members of each team, totaling 123 participants. Results: First, we refined the measurement instrument, achieving a more reliable and parsimonious instrument. Second, our results confirmed findings from previous studies when individual level data was used, but almost no confirmation was found when data was aggregated at team level. Conclusions: Our results partially supported previous studies but raised questions about the validity of the aggregation of individual data to team level measures of the studied constructs. CCS CONCEPTS • Software and its engineering • Software creation and management • Collaboration in software development • Software teams
Abstract. Teaching Computer Science (CS) inNo Brasil, a Sociedade Brasileira de Computação (SBC) entende que os conceitos da Computação devem ser ensinados a partir do ensino básico e incentivam ações dessa natureza, na premissa de que essa área apresente princípios e habilidades que, se trabalhados com os estudantes desde cedo, podem contribuir para o exercício da lógica e resolução de problemas, assim como fomentar o interesse pela área, aumentando o número de profissionais no país.
Abstract. Courses involving Programming and Data IntroduçãoO computador tem transformado o cotidiano das pessoas e a forma como vivem, pensam e agem. Por sua vez os cientistas da computação estão resolvendo desafios e trabalhando em estreita colaboração com várias áreas do conhecimento e especialistas para entender as dificuldades, e para definir o problema de forma tão explícita que pode ser representado em um computador, além de estarem criando novas oportunidades de carreira em todos esses campos (CSTA, 2006). Apesar da capacidade que os setores consumidores de tecnologia tem de produzir demandas de profissionais, a academia não tem conseguido corresponder à força de trabalho qualificada que é demandada, cenário que alguns especialistas caracterizam como uma das principais crises da indústria de tecnologia (CCA e Microsoft, 2012
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
