Self-regulated learning in computer programming : strategies students adopted during an assignment

The SimProgramming teaching approach has the goal to help students overcome their learning difficulties in the transition from entry-level to advanced computer programming and prepare them for real-world labour environments, adopting learning strategies. It immerses learners in a businesslike learning environment, where students develop a problem-based learning activity with a specific set of tasks, one of which is filling weekly individual forms. We conducted thematic analysis of 401 weekly forms, to identify the students’ strategies for self-regulation of learning during assignment. The students are adopting different strategies in each phase of the approach. The early phases are devoted to organization and planning, later phases focus on applying theoretical knowledge and hands-on programming. Based on the results, we recommend the development of educational practices to help students conduct self-reflection of their performance during tasks.

Avaliação externa e seus efeitos : a perspetiva dos atores escolares

"No Capítulo 10 − Avaliação externa e seus efeitos: a perspetiva dos atores escolares, os autores Eduarda Rodrigues, Filipa Seabra, Helena Queirós, Joana Sousa, Conceição Lamela, Natália Costa e José Carlos Morgado apresentam dois estudos de caso, um realizado num agrupamento de escolas e outro numa escola secundária, escolhidos por constituírem “casos” de melhoria das classificações e corresponderem a situações críticas do processo de avaliação externa. Com base nas entrevistas ao diretor, ao coordenador da equipa de autoavaliação e aos coordenadores dos órgãos de gestão intermédia e nos dados de um inquérito por questionário aos docentes, é avaliado o impacto da AEE nas mudanças organizacionais, curriculares e pedagógicas e nos resultados académicos e sociais nas instituições escolares envolvidas" (Bidarra, Barreira & Vaz-Rebelo, 2016; Prefácio).
