Understanding the Relationship Between PBL Principles, Personality Types and Learning Profiles: An Initial Analysis

Abstract

This a Research Full Paper. The requirements of Software Engineering need a learning environment that is not only practical but true to the reality of the market. As a student centered approach, Problem-Based Learning (PBL) enables students to be collaborative and attitude-oriented during problem-solving. Despite this, PBL has its cultural challenges. Thus, this work intends to better understand how the students learn and behave through student meaningful learning profiles and Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). Based on the principle that these students participate or participated in a discipline that used the PBL method and are students of a course in Computer Science area. In this context, this article proposes a descriptive study to make initial analyses and kick start the research. Based on this study and its early results, we can conclude that learning dimensions require greater stimulation and is perceived an initial relationship between personality profiles and meaningful learning profiles.
