Software Engineering Education in Brazil: A Mapping Study

The teaching-learning process of Software Engineering (SE) has been widely discussed by several Brazilian authors. This concern reflects the demand for qualified professionals, since quality in teaching can contribute to the improvement of software development. To do so, there is a need to move beyond the expository format to incorporate new approaches and techniques. From a systematic mapping of the literature in Brazil, which included an automatic search in Google Scholar, manual searches in two journals and four important Brazilian events in the area of computing education, complemented by snowballing, articles with proposals for games, tools, teaching methodologies and integration between disciplines were identified and analyzed to support the software engineering education. The results contribute to the evaluation of the state of the art in the area.
