Exploring Students Perceptions and Performance in Flipped Classroom Designed with Adaptive Learning Techniques: A Study in Distributed Systems Courses

Abstract

In Computer Science, teaching Distributed Systems presents many challenges primarily related to the students' prior knowledge. Some new Learning Approaches emerged and can aid to improve learning processes in this scenario, such as Flipped Classroom and Adaptive Learning. In this context, this paper presents a study of the integration of the Flipped Classroom method with Adaptive Learning techniques for assisting Distributed Systems courses. We conducted quantitative and qualitative analysis to evaluate students' acceptance. We also implemented a quasi-experimental study to evaluate the learning impact on students. Students had a significant improvement in the test score in both approaches.We presented the first ideas to teach Distributed Systems (DS) through the use of the Flipped Classroom Method (FCM) in [Araujo et al. 2018]. In this paper, we go fur-

A Personalized-based Study Guides Tool for Software Engineering Flipped Classes

“…Teachers can prepare guidelines for content delivery and present this material to students before meeting face-to-face. A study guide can be used to curate digital learning materials like videos, podcasts, and content-related texts (such as book chapters, white papers, and scientific papers) alongside self-assessment tests (like Google Forms quizzes) [5]. Once presented with the study guide, learners can explore the content in-depth, building on their prior knowledge.…”

“…Inspired by our prior experiences using flipped classes (showed in [3][4][5][6]), our FC approach to teaching Software Engineering uses three steps: (1) the first step happens before class; (2) the second step occurs during the practical class; and (3) the third step occurs post-class. Before class, professors propose study guides (e.g., a list of videos, a research paper, and read suggestions) to students studying at home.…”

Blockchain e Contratos Inteligentes para Aplicações em IoT, Uma Abordagem Prática

“…Uma alternativa para isto são as plataformas MOOC (Massive Open Online Course), como Udemy, Coursera, edX. Algumas Universidades promovem cursos de extensão ou treinamentos para seus alunos [Rao and Dave 2019, Dettling 2018, Araujo et al 2019.…”

BioBlu App: Tecnologia Assistiva para auxiliar o ensino de Genética Clássica a deficientes visuais

“…Conceitualmente, é uma área interdisciplinar, com o objetivo de desenvolver recursos, metodologias, serviços, dentre outros, adequados à pessoa com deficiência [CORDE, 2009] , como evidenciado nos estudos de [Nogueira e Nielsen, 2011] , [Júnior et. al, 2018], [Araujo, et al, 2019;] , [Roberto e Monteiro, 2019].…”
