ABSTRACT
The relationship between the university and its audience has been
changed, the place that only used to graduate students of high social
standard, nowadays it graduate students of all social classes. As a
result, there are students who can not only play the role of student,
some have to work to maintain themselves, becoming a student
with partial dedication. These students, in most cases, end up not
enjoying all the possibilities that the university offers and may
be impaired by losing experiences that would assist you in your
academic life. In this context, the purpose of thiswork was to use the
active methodologies: problem-based and collaborative learning in
Software Engineering teaching to help students who are partially
dedicated, adapting alternative ways to fix knowledge. For the
application of the proposal, some students were invited, and divided
into two classes, in which one of them used the traditional method
and the other applied active methodologies were used. In addition,
the class that used the active methodologies, had the help of app
created so that they could prepare for the class. To obtain the results,
forms were available to verify the students’ opinion regarding the
applied method. These were satisfactory, since according to the
them, the problem-based and collaborative learning proved to be
beneficial, the app also brought advantages such as its practicality,
easy-to-understand content, and the possibility of using in free
time.
