The evolution of mobile computing outlined a new setting for teaching and learning applications. In this scenario, the existing educational applications, despite having several benefits and facilities, present problems and challenges that need to be explored. In software reuse field, we have observed a growing adoption of patterns, which allow using a reusable general solution to a problem which occurs frequently. This study aims at the identification of studies showing the use of patterns during learning applications lifecycle. Thus, in this work we conducted a systematic mapping in which 37 scientific articles were analyzed. The results are relevant to outline the current landscape of the area and they also highlight discussions that may guide future investigations in m-learning and t-learning, considering educational and pedagogical aspects.

At the end of 2019, there was an outbreak of pneumonia in Chinese territory that quickly spread across the globe. Due to its infection characteristics, several face-to-face activities that brought many people together had to be rethought. In this critical scenario, teaching was abruptly changed into a modality called Emergency Remote Education (ERE). Thus, many professors had to adapt materials and resources from traditional teaching to the ERE modality without any previous planning and organization. The main goal of this study is to present how ERE has been conducted by professors in the field of Computer Science in Brazil. To achieve this goal, we prepared an electronic questionnaire, which was answered by 137 professors from 69 Brazilian educational institutions. The main results achieved by this research include the impacts observed and the strategies that have been practiced by such professionals. In short, we identified that ERE provided a rupture in Computer Science Education, as the lack of pedagogical strategy and absence of remote learning experience. Many of the problems are the result of the pandemic, but the lack of efficient crisis management by political entities and the social inequality made ERE more challenging for CS professors in Brazil.

Abstract

Despite Software project management (SPM) being one of the most relevant topicsin the area of software engineering that should be addressed in computing programs, SPM skills of recent graduates are not satisfactory yet. In this context, besides being important to know there are skill deficiencies, we also need to gather specific information on how to adjust and improve the education on the corresponding topics. In this paper we attempt to identify what knowledge deficiencies in SPM can persist after a student graduates from a computing degree program. We surveyed practitioners that graduated and worked as software project managers to gather the knowledge deficiencies from the industry perspective. In general, the results indicated that there is a number of professionals who seeks postgraduate programs to fill the deficiencies of the undergrad programs.
