Abstract

The recent economic growth in Brazil has resulted in a strong demand for human resources qualification. Software Engineering education, in Brazil, offers qualifications at all levels: undergraduate, further education and postgraduate. However, current market demand indicates a mismatch between the academic provision and the industrial demand. To address this mismatch, it is important to take into account the large geographic distribution of Brazil and its regional inequalities. We suggest that innovative strategies in education including Distance Education, Open Education and Open Educational Resources will need to play an important role in the future of professional qualifications in Brazil. This raises opportunities and challenges that can only be addressed by a strong interdisciplinary research and political agenda. This paper discusses the scenario of the Software Engineering education in Brazil and presents research questions and political issues associated with the future of human resource qualification in this area.

软件工程人力资源资格的未来——满足工业需求并受益于教育和技术进步

巴西最近的经济增长导致了对人力资源资格的强烈需求。在巴西，软件工程教育提供所有级别的资格证书:本科、继续教育和研究生。然而，目前的市场需求表明，学术供应与工业需求之间存在不匹配。为了解决这种不匹配问题，重要的是要考虑到巴西的大地理分布及其地区不平等。我们建议，包括远程教育、开放教育和开放教育资源在内的教育创新策略将在巴西未来的职业资格中发挥重要作用。这带来的机遇和挑战只能通过强有力的跨学科研究和政治议程来解决。本文讨论了巴西软件工程教育的情况，并提出了与该领域人力资源资格未来相关的研究问题和政治问题。
