Este trabalho relata desafios encontrados na inclusão de alunos surdos no ensino da Computação e resultam da observação da trajetória de um acadêmico matriculado no Curso de Ciência da Computação. Os desafios apresentados e as ações desencadeadas não têm por objetivo fundamentar uma teoria abrangente ou mesmo estatística, mas sim suscitar discussão reflexiva frente às suas especificidades. Dado o aumento do número de alunos com essa deficiência no ensino superior, é importante que esses desafios estejam claros para que as universidades possam se adequar a esta realidade.
Abstract. The participation of women in workgroups is essential to any kind of job. Nowadays Computer Science has little presence of women. Consequently, it is necessary to motivate girls to choose Computing as a career. This paper describes an experiment consisting of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) activities that were used to demonstrate that Computing is more than only programming. The activities were based on the concepts and materials of the Computer Science Unplugged Project. Besides, this work presents the results with the HCI activities performed in the context two Brazilian projects. The results are qualitative in nature and provide insights about HCI activities to elementary school student girls. Fifty-two girls from two different cities and four different public schools participated. All students developed the five tasks designed by CSU materials and were able to articulate concepts of HCI.
O Empreendedorismo, obrigatório nas grades curriculares dos cursos de Computação no Brasil, envolve o desenvolvimento de habilidades interdisciplinares para a resolução de problemas e para o desenvolvimento de novos negócios. Tendo em vista a necessidade de adequação dos Projetos Pedagógicos de Cursos (PPC) de graduação para abrigar a curricularização da extensão sem, com isso, aumentar a carga horária total dos cursos, temos buscado formas de integrar as ações extensionistas nas disciplinas existentes. Este artigo apresenta um relato de experiência de duas edições da disciplina "Formação de Empreendedores" enquanto atividade integrada de ensino e extensão no Bacharelado em Ciência da Computação da Unioeste, campus de Cascavel, discutindo os resultados dessa experiência.
Due to the rapid growth in the volume of data stored in organizational databases and the human limitations in analyzing and interpreting data, appropriate technics are necessary to allow the identification of a large amount of information and knowledge in such databases. In this context, several techniques and tools have been proposed for enabling the end user to interpret his dataset. In this work we discuss the ways of interacting with cluster analysis tools, taking into account both the clustering and the interpretation stages. We investigate how usability and user experience aspects of such tools can improve the understanding of the discovered knowledge. Moreover, we evaluate the role of visualization methods in the comprehension of groups formed in cluster analysis using Knime, Orange Canvas, RapidMiner Studio and Weka data mining tools.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
