Abstract

This Research Full Paper presents an analysis of the challenges and advantages on applying MOOCs in software engineering teaching and training contexts. Software engineering is a constantly evolving discipline in which educators are involved with a constant flow of new tools, resources and techniques in software development. This scenario makes the act of teaching and contributing to the students’ academic education more complex. The insertion of educational technologies brings contributions in this context, causing a transformation in the current scenario of teaching. An example of these new technologies are the MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) – open and online courses that are available in providers in partnership with reputable universities. Considering this scenario, this paper aims at identifying the challenges and trends of MOOCs application in software engineering domain, by means of a systematic mapping of the literature (SML). During the SML it was performed an analysis of 5100 papers and selection of 96 primary studies. The outcomes indicate that there is a potential in using MOOCs on teaching or training, as they are an alternative to offer courses applying traditional methods of learning. In addition, the challenges of this direction are analyzed and discussed.

软件工程教学与培训背景下的mooc:趋势与挑战

本文分析了mooc在软件工程教学与培训环境下的优势与挑战。软件工程是一门不断发展的学科，在这门学科中，教育工作者参与了软件开发中不断涌现的新工具、资源和技术。这种情况使得教学行为和对学生学术教育的贡献变得更加复杂。教育技术的引入在这一背景下做出了贡献，导致了当前教学情景的转变。这些新技术的一个例子是mooc(大规模开放在线课程)——由供应商与知名大学合作提供的开放和在线课程。在这种情况下，本文旨在通过系统的文献映射(SML)来识别mooc在软件工程领域应用的挑战和趋势。在SML期间，对5100篇论文进行了分析，并选择了96项主要研究。结果表明，在教学或培训中使用mooc是有潜力的，因为它们是使用传统学习方法提供课程的另一种选择。此外，对该方向面临的挑战进行了分析和讨论。
