“…These results can be attributed to the fact that the active teaching methodologies used in the experimental group are particularly focused on students, and carrying out practical and collaborative activities, as well as on the teaching approaches adopted. In view of this, the results obtained are similar to those of several authors who adopted more student-centered approaches and strategies [33], [22], or relied on active teaching methodologies [45] and competence-based learning [23], [46].…”

“…This model advises that practical activities should be carried out in groups in a collaborative way so that there can be an exchange of knowledge and experience between students, and it is possible to replicate the situations that may occur in industry. These practices might arise from employing different methodologies, and include: practical projects [22], PBL [33], [34], serious games [35] or programming dojos [10]. It is advisable that a professor or other professional should supervise these practical activities so that they can coach and mentor the groups, sort out any technical problems, assist in the way the practices are carried out and act as a mediator if any possible conflicts arise in the groups.…”

Software testing is regarded as a key activity in the software development cycle, as it helps information technology professionals to design good quality software. Thus, this is an essential activity for the software industry, although with all its nuances high priority is still not being given to learning about it at an academic level. The purpose of this work is to investigate a teaching strategy for software testing which involves acquiring academic skills within a curriculum based on active teaching methodologies. A teaching model was designed for this to coordinate the different areas of a subject, and then a controlled quasi-experiment was carried out in a post-graduate course to evaluate the application of this model. The results obtained demonstrate that there was a considerable learning gain in the experimental group that adopted the teaching approach when compared with the control group that relied on a traditional approach. The student t-test was employed to determine the learning efficiency.

“…Esses resultados podem ser atribuídos ao fato de que as metodologias ativas de ensino utilizadas no grupo experimental estarem fortemente focadas nos alunos, na realização de atividades práticas e colaborativas. Perante o exposto, os resultados obtidos assemelham-se ao de diferentes autores que utilizaram abordagens e estratégias mais centradas no aluno [Furtado et al, 2021;Portela et al, 2021], utilizando metodologias ativas de ensino [Fonseca e Mattar, 2017] e utilizando o aprendizado baseado em competências [Benniti, 2018;Yoshioka e Ishitani, 2018].…”

O teste de software é considerado uma atividade chave no ciclo de desenvolvimento de software, pois ajuda os profissionais de computação a projetar software de boa qualidade. Assim, esta é uma atividade essencial para a indústria de software, embora com todas as suas nuances ainda não seja dada alta prioridade ao aprendizado em nível acadêmico. Tendo em vista que é um conteúdo que precisa de uma boa quantidade de elementos de conhecimentos prévios e grande parte do seu conhecimento necessita de intervenções práticas, viu-se a importância de se utilizar as metodologias ativas, que vem tendo uma boa aceitação em disciplinas mais práticas de computação. Assim, o principal objetivo deste trabalho é apresentar uma abordagem de ensino utilizada com um currículo e um plano de ensino de uma disciplina de testes de software, elaborados com base em metodologias ativas. Como resultados tem-se um plano de ensino que é construído a partir de metodologias ativas, composto por 32 aulas teóricas e práticas, distribuídas em 4 módulos, baseado em referenciais de um currículo especializado em testes de software, e construído a partir de um mapeamento em diferentes ativos relacionados a testes de software, sendo os principais deles o Guia de Referencias Curriculares da SBC, o guia curricular da ACM/IEEE e o Guia dos conhecimentos de Engenharia de Software SWEBOK. Além disso, dois quase-experimentos foram executados por completo, o primeiro avaliou a efetividade da abordagem de ensino de testes em comparação com uma abordagem tradicional e o segundo além de avaliar a efetividade da abordagem de ensino perante uma abordagem tradicional também fez uma análise da eficiência da aprendizagem na turma. Ambos foram analisados com uma abordagem estatística utilizando a distribuição t de Student bicaudal, que apresentou um certo ganho de aprendizagem para a abordagem apresentada, sendo ele de até p-value = 000007915 no melhor caso.
