Explorando abordagens no ensino de desenvolvimento web: um estudo em cursos de graduação na área de informática

Abstract

Web development is a fundamental skill for professionals in the field, and it's essential for students to acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to become qualified web developers. However, some students and teachers still struggle to find the best approach to maintain students' interest. Therefore, we aim to contribute to the advancement of web development education in the Computer Science field by providing a solid foundation of knowledge and pedagogical practices that can be applied by teachers and educational institutions. The main objective of this dissertation is to present effective strategies for teaching web development in undergraduate Computer Science courses. The work will analyze current approaches to teaching web development in undergraduate courses, identifying the challenges and existing gaps in this process, helping to reflect on innovative and efficient strategies to improve students' education in this area. Both the necessary technical skills, such as programming languages, frameworks, and tools, and broader competencies, such as responsive design, usability, and accessibility, will be considered. To support this analysis and proposal, various articles and works will be used, including a review of specialized literature, comparing approaches, and reflecting on the use of interdisciplinarity. With this work, we aim to reflect on and direct best practices for teaching web development in undergraduate Computer Science courses, necessary for creating guidelines and recommendations for teachers and educational institutions, and improving students' education, preparing them more adequately for the job market. Thus, we contribute to the continuous improvement of teaching methods, aiming to train highly skilled and up-to-date professionals in the necessary skills for web development.
