“…Considerando a relevância do BCA e do CA, Slim et al (2015) criaram um modelo chamado Balanceamento de Currículo Baseado na Crucialidade (CBCB -Crucial Based Curriculum Balancing) por meio de Programac ¸ão Inteira que, ao mesmo tempo que balanceia a carga de créditos entre os períodos, move disciplinas cruciais para períodos mais recentes, validando-o por meio de dados massivos reais de um curso superior da Universidade do Novo México. Por objetivar balancear a carga de créditos e utilizar informac ¸ões de crucialidade de disciplinas, torna-se a única abordagem que combina os dois campos do desenvolvimento curricular.…”

“…O CA fornece resultados sobre gargalos curriculares, ao passo que o BCA pode utilizar-se destas informac ¸ões para construir modelos cada vez mais abrangentes. Apenas uma abordagem na literatura, encontrada em Slim et al (2015), combinou os dois campos para a construc ¸ão de percursos curriculDadas estas constatac ¸õesares otimizados. Portanto, estudos posteriores têm a oportunidade de evoluir o campo do desenvolvimento curricular baseado em dados factuais, criando critérios, restric ¸ões e estratégias de resoluc ¸ão do BACP a partir de insights advindos do CA.…”

“…Embora haja a possibilidade de integrac ¸ão do BCA com o CA, apenas o trabalho de Slim et al (2015) combinou os dois campos quando objetivou balancear a carga de trabalho suportada por dados de crucialidade de disciplinas. Salienta-se também, a partir da revisão apresentada, que produtos de software precisam ser desenvolvidos, especialmente no campo do BCA, para que tomadas de decisões sobre currículos sejam mais assertivas, favorecendo o sucesso do estudante.…”

Um dos desafios das instituições de ensino superior e garantir que o estudante não evada do curso e o conclua no tempo ideal. O desenvolvimento curricular que se baseia em dados factuais e uma maneira que busca garantir mais assertividade no (re)desenho curricular. Esta tarefa pode ser realizada através do Balanceamento de Currículo Acadêmico e/ou por meio do Curricular Analytics. Este artigo apresenta a primeira Revisão Sistemática da Literatura sobre o tema. Os resultados mostram uma ascensão dos estudos com abordagens e métodos diversos, porém ainda tímida e com baixo emprego ou disponibilização de ferramentas que apoiem os processos de tomadas de decisão.

“…It is possible to develop different criteria for distributing complexity throughout a plan, and to create optimized degree plans according to these criteria. For instance, Slim et al (2015) recognized the importance of having students complete the most crucial courses in a curriculum, as measured by course complexity, as early as possible in a degree plan, and they provided an algorithm for constructing degree plans optimized according to this strategy. Another approach is to balance out the complexity over the first few years so that no one term is overly complex.…”

The difficulty of allocating a balanced educational syllabus to academic periods of a curriculum, also known as curriculum balancing, has long been a source of consternation for any institution of higher education attempting to connect learners and teachers. The balanced academic curriculum challenge entails assigning courses to academic times while adhering to all load restrictions and prerequisite requirements. The balanced academic curriculum problem (BACP) includes assigning subjects to class hours that fulfill standards even while managing students’ burden in terms of credits, course load, and perquisites that includes subjects covered in the previous semesters/periods. The number of credits every semester corresponds to the academic load. As a result, educational frameworks must be “balanced,” which means the credits for each period should be equivalent in order for students to bear minimum work. As a result, it is desirable to reduce this cost by developing a study plan that employs an algorithm that conducts this work automatically. Using an optimization method, this article provides a solution to the challenge of curricula balancing based on the discrete firefly algorithm (DFA). In research, FA has already been used to solve the BACP problem. However, the basic FA is modified to DFA with a local search mechanism inbuilt that helps to reach optimum solution in less number of iterations. A series of tests on standard and real data instances are done to check the efficiency of the suggested approach, with the objective of producing a platform that would simplify the procedure of building a curriculum system at institutions of higher learning. The results show that the proposed solution obtained a rather rapid solution and hit the recognized optimum in most of the iterations.
