APLICANDO A ESTRATÉGIA DE AVALIAÇÃO AUTÊNTICA EM UMA RESIDÊNCIA DE SOFTWARE BASEADA EM PBL

Abstract

The ICT industry is emerging as an exciting andchallenging environment – flexible and dynamic, andtherefore, It demands for ICT professionals who should notonly understand the technology, but also a wide vision of theproblems, business understanding, entrepreneurshipbackground and interpersonal skills, which are related tothe practical experience of software engineering [1]. Takingthe Problem Based Learning [2] as a reference to implementpractical and real problems, a Program for teachingSoftware Engineering for Mobile Devices inspired inMedical Residency [3] was established, called MobileSoftware Residency, in which students learn by doing in areal working environment. To validate the effectiveness ofthis approach with respect to the objectives of the program,a method of authentic assessment was defined and applied,showing that this approach brings relevant results towardsthe effectiveness of the learning.Index Terms ⎯ Authentic Assessment, Mobile Software,Problem-based Learning, Software Residency.
