Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Seman, Laio Oriel; Hausmann, Romeu; Bezerra, Eduardo Augusto – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2018
Contribution: This paper presents the "PBL classroom model," an agent-based simulation (ABS) that allows testing of several scenarios of a project-based learning (PBL) application by considering different levels of soft-skills, and students' perception of the methodology. Background: While the community has made great advances in…

Evaluation of a Didactic Method for the Active Learning of Greedy Algorithms
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Esteban-Sánchez, Natalia; Pizarro, Celeste; Velázquez-Iturbide, J. Ángel – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2014
An evaluation of the educational effectiveness of a didactic method for the active learning of greedy algorithms is presented. The didactic method sets students structured-inquiry challenges to be addressed with a specific experimental method, supported by the interactive system GreedEx. This didactic method has been refined over several years of…
