Estratégia de monitoramento e análise de engajamento de estudantes em cursos de banco de dados.

Abstract

Monitoring students engagement makes it possible to enrich the education system. With it, it is possible to obtain information related to the dedication and performance of students in certain activities. However, regarding Database courses, there is a shortage of strategies to monitor student engagement, making it difficult to conduct research and analyze student performance. Faced with this problem, we developed a mechanism capable of monitoring the students' interaction with the database and generating a set of data involving the use of the Data Definition Language and Data Manipulation Language commands performed. Subsequently, with this mechanism, we've monitored 95 students enrolled in the Database Course of the Computer Science course at the Federal University of Campina Grande. With this, we've carried out a case study, in which we used, in addition to the information collected from the databases, other information related to the participation of students in the discipline, such as the grades obtained and the submission of practical scripts. In this way, we have contributed with a tool capable of monitoring the practical activities of students and extracting information that can be useful in the educational system.
