Estrategia de aprendizaje de la programación a partir de proyectos en ingeniería de sistemas.

The adoption of teaching and learning strategies is one of the challenges required today by teachers who conducts programming courses in engineering and who conducts training processes either in the secondary school or at the university level. The objective of this article is present the methodology, the results obtained, and the corresponding analysis of an investigation made in parallel with two groups of computer programming over three years. With one we adopted the learning methodology based on projects and with the other one the traditional teaching and learning methodology was maintained. The results show that when the corpus of knowledge of computer programming is related to the development of specific projects, since the beginning, a great impact is generated in the learning of programming by students because the knowledge requires meaning. The conclusions indicate that is very convenient to adopt a project learning methodology in a computer programming course. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
