Abstract

Pedagogical Patterns (PP) are structured discriptions to organize a lecture. These patterns have been catalogued by a project based on collaboration among teachers from Object Orientation community. Pedagogical Patterns tend to demmand a greater effort from teachers and stundents when attendding the tasks estabilished by the pattern. In addition, the preparation for the PP activities consumes a notable slice of the available time to the class. In this work, we experimented some of catalogued patterns, and selected one of them to receive a software tool which supports his activities. Class Concept Map was the selected pattern. This pattern carries the same problems (greater efforts and time consuming) we found in the other catalogued PP. We developed Easy Map software tool to support Class Concept Map Pedagogical Pattern. After this, we performed several experiments with the pattern being supported by the software tool we developed. From these experiments, we extracted results to evaluate the tool as an efficient solution to the problems we had detected in the Class Concept Map pattern.
