Um estudo de caso para avaliar a linguagem Égua sob a percepção de alunos do ensino superior

Abstract

In recent years, the number of people interested in computing has increased significantly. However, a reality that affects this area is the large number of dropouts from computing courses in higher education due to frustrations and difficulties with some subjects such as programming logic. This discipline generates confusion due to its complexity and the lack of didactics to pass on this content. Therefore, the objective of this work is to evaluate, through a case study, the acceptance and use of the Égua programming language for teaching computer logic under the perception of higher education students. Therefore, the objective of this work is to evaluate, through a case study, the acceptance and use of the Égua programming language for teaching computer logic under the perception of higher education students. To conduct the case study, the Technology Acceptance Model was used, a set of benchmarks was developed with students from the Software Engineering course, and data were collected through a questionnaire. With the results achieved, it is possible to notice that although the Égua language is still a little premature, it has potential for teaching programming logic.
