Um estudo exploratório sobre a predileção dos alunos nas áreas da engenharia de software

Abstract

This paper aims at analyzing the student preference of Computer Science graduation and Information Systems courses in relation to the areas of Software Engineering (SE). Hence, an inventory was defined in order to measure these preferences. This analysis provided a diagnosis of preference in an attempt to understand or identify patterns of preferences which could serve as inputs for pedagogic actions in the analyzed courses. Moreover, there are also contribution to get a validate scale to use later in quantitative surveys in the SE areas that involves the relationships of predilections whit others constructs.
