ANÁLISE DO PBL – APRENDIZADO BASEADO EM PROBLEMAS – SOB O FOCO DA TEORIA DO PENSAMENTO COMPLEXO NA EDUCAÇÃO

Abstract

The mnemonic PBL (Problem Based Learning)
comes to be present in several conferences in Computer
Sciences and Engineering domain of knowledge. The present
paper exposes a theoretical foundation supporting PBL in
education. They are described two practical examples
implemented by the author. The first example belongs to
Assembly Programming discipline in Computer Sciences
undergraduate course. The second example was
implemented in the Computer Programming discipline in
Computer Science and Engineering courses. It is presented a
terminology to support PBL implementations referring to
Complex Thought Theory from UNESCO cathedra. The
correct understanding of PBL proposal can up-grade this
technique to the level of complex educational methodology
approach. Its potentiality will increase same time it can
belong to a more wide educational proposal integrating
itself with other pedagogic modules present in educational
process.
