Uma abordagem para orquestração do conhecimento com suporte ao planejamento e à avaliação curricular em ciência da computação.

Abstract

The Reference Curriculum for Degree Courses in Computer Science and Computer Engineering (RC) is a document developed by the Brazilian Computer Society that aims to describe a set of information related to computing education in Brazil. The body of knowledge, a part of RC that describles the knowledge that should be teached to a student during the learning Process, can be useful on the Curricular Planning process, however, unlike the curriculum structure created, which describes relations between disciplines, the knowledge described on the Reference Curriculum only shows hierarchical relations between different levels of this knowledge.To this situation, in this dissertation is proposed an approach that aimed orchestrating the knowledge described on granularity “Subject” of RC,called, in this dissertation,“Knowledge Categories”. For this, the approachis based on the bottom-up and identifies possible relationships between the 57 Knowledge Categories induced from the disciplines of graduate courses and their prerequisites relationships, to thereby identify the Dependence Degree Between Categories (GDep) and Category Occurrence Degree (GOc) relevants for the process of curriculum planning and evaluation. For evaluate approach, ion purposes a case study was conducted involving 474 disciplines from 7 under graduate courses. It was possible to observe the measurement of GRel and GOC of the57 Knowledge Categories from RC. In addition, the application were verified of the metrics identified in the planning processand evaluation of curriculum structures that,on the context observe, showed results that confirmed the use of suchmetrics for a imsproposed.
