Using the methodology problem-based learning to teaching programming to freshma...
Aires, Joao Paulo; Aires, Simone Bello Kaminski; Pereira, Maria João; Alves, Luís M.This work registers the initial results of a teaching strategy implemented with students entering the Algorithms discipline with a higher degree in Computing. This discipline offered to first-year students records cases of dropout and evasion. Thus, it is necessary to implement teaching strategies to provide engagement, interest, and motivation with the subjects worked on. The main objective is apply an active ...
Aplicando uma metodologia de aprendizagem colaborativa no ensino de programação
Aires, Simone Bello Kaminski; Aires, Joao Paulo; Pereira, Maria João; Alves, Luís M.Este artigo aborda os resultados obtidos na utilização de uma metodologia de ensino colaborativa em uma turma com alunos ingressantes de um Curso de Bacharelado em Ciência da Computação. O grupo no qual a pesquisa foi implementada foi composto de 45 alunos matriculados na disciplina de Algoritmos do primeiro semestre de 2018. Para a estratégia de ensino, foi aplicado o Método Trezentos, que consiste na divisão ...
Active methodologies in incoming programming classes
Aires, Joao Paulo; Aires, Simone Bello Kaminski; Pereira, Maria João; Alves, Luís M.Innovative approaches in teaching programming have been required to improve the success of incoming programming students. This work presents the initial results of a teaching strategy implemented in the Algorithms subject of a Computer Science course. Ninety-five students, enrolled in this subject during the first semester of the course, participated in the research. The reported activity is related with active...
Longevity of risks in software development projects: a comparative analysis wit...
Alves, Luís M.; Souza, Gustavo; Ribeiro, Pedro; Machado, Ricardo J.The study presented in this paper was developed in an academic environment. All subjects involved in this research are enrolled in the Information Systems Master’s Degree of the University of Minho. The main objective of this study is to demonstrate the need for the continuity of studies about the risks presented in software development projects. For this purpose, we analyzed more than four hundred risks and ab...
Year-round element quantification of a wide-ranging seabird and their relations...
Laranjeiro, Maria I.; Alves, Luís M.; Silva, Joana M. da; Pereira, Jorge M.; Norte, Ana C.; Paiva, Vitor H.; Lemos, Marco F.L.; Ramos, Jaime A.Multidisciplinary approaches are essential to diligently assess environmental health status of ecosystems. In this study, year-round chemical elements’ exposure and impacts were assessed on the wide-ranging Cory’s shearwater Calonectris borealis breeding in Berlenga Island, offshore Portugal, North Atlantic Ocean. The aim was to identify potential contamination and oxidative stress sources associated with troph...
C Tutor usage in relation to student achievement and progress: a study of intro...
Alves, Luís M.; Gajić, Dušan; Henriques, Pedro Rangel; Ivančević, Vladimir; Ivković, Vladimir; Lalić, Maksim; Lukovic, Ivan; Pereira, Maria JoãoPrevious research studies on introductory programming courses in engineering education in Portugal and Serbia have indicated that although high motivation and high expectations seem to be reported by students, many students may fail the course. This prompted a further inquiry into student attitudes, behavior, and achievement, and it also led to the introduction of C Tutor, a widely known program visualization t...

O seu conteúdo, a metodologia e as fontes que lhe serviram de base são da sua inteira responsabilidade e são o resultado da experiência acumulada nos mais de vinte anos que já leciona, no proj...
EasyCoding - methodology to support programming learning
Almeida, Marcela Viana Pereira de; Alves, Luís M.; Pereira, Maria João; Barbosa, GlíviaKnowing that the programming curricular units in the first year of engineering courses have a high failure rate and, assuming that this failure is due, in large part, to the lack of motivation and the lack of autonomy of the student to program in context outside the classroom, a methodology based on activity guides using attractive web platforms is proposed. The proposed methodology aims to facilitate both the ...
Classifying empirical studies in an educational context through an experimentat...
Alves, Luís M.; Ribeiro, Pedro; Machado, RicardoWorking in a team for a limited period of time and to deliver a high quality product are some of the skills that students should gain during their studies at the university. Empirical studies in software engineering play an important and significant role in the evaluation of tools, techniques, methods, and technologies before they are dynamically validated in industrial setup. After the presentation of the proj...
Mercury levels in commercial mid-trophic level fishes along the Portuguese coas...
Silva, Joana M. da; Alves, Luís M.; Laranjeiro, Maria I.; Angélico, Maria M.; Norte, Ana C.; Lemos, Marco F.L.; Ramos, Jaime A.; Novais, Sara C.Sardines (Sardina pilchardus) and mackerels (Scomber spp. and Trachurus spp.) are amongst the most common fish caught along the Iberian coast for human consumption and, as mid-trophic level organisms, they constitute essential prey in the diet of several marine predators. Thus, the assessment of trophic ecology, contamination exposure, and stress responses in such organisms provides valuable information on the ...
