Uma Análise Curricular das Disciplinas de Algoritmos e Lógica Computacional em Cursos de Licenciatura em Informática e Computação

Abstract

This paper describes an analysis of the structure of the curricula of computational logic and algorithms in a degree in Computer Science compared to a national panorama of these components. The evaluated aspects such as time, supply period and contents were analyzed by students and teachers of the course and compared with a mapping of 34 documents from other courses of the same nature. The results of this work are important because they indicate dimensions and perspectives of the components, and can be used in revisions of courses and debates in the Central Structural Core. Resumo. Este artigo descreve uma análise da estrutura dos planos curriculares de lógica computacional e algoritmos em um curso de Licenciatura em Informática em comparação com um panorama nacional desses componentes. Os aspectos avaliados como carga horária, período de oferta e conteúdos foram analisados por discentes e docentes do curso e comparados com um mapeamento realizado em 34 documentos de outros cursos de mesma natureza. Os resultados deste trabalho são importantes porque indicam dimensões e perspectivas dos componentes, e podem ser utilizados em revisões de cursos e debates nos Núcleos Centrais Estruturantes.

Application of a Teaching Plan for Algorithm Subjects Using Active Methodologies: An Experimental Report

“…The difficulties faced can be reflected in the high failure rates of subjects in computer programming that, for [12] and [17], usually reach failure averages that are around 40 to 50%. The algorithms subject, as one of the bases for the development of skills related to programming, is usually offered in the initial semesters of courses in computing, usually in the 1st or 2nd semester of courses that have it, and its workload usually varies from 60 to 80 class hours [18], [19] and [20].…”

A Second Experimental Study the Application of a Teaching Plan for the Algorithms Subject in an Undergraduate Course in Computing using Active Methodologies

“…Programming knowledge involves learning algorithms, since this subject is the basis for the development of skills and abilities that will be useful throughout a programmer's life. Knowing this, the subject of algorithms is usually offered in universities in the first semesters of computing courses, with a workload that can vary between 60 and 80 class hours (Falkembach et al, 2003;Saito et al, 2015;Bulcão, 2017). In Brazil, organizations such as the Brazilian Computer Society (SBC) and guidelines such as the National Curriculum Guidelines (DCN) on Computing work strongly in the preparation of documents that serve as a basis for the curricular construction of computing courses.…”
