ABSTRACT
The use of agile methods in companies is becoming more common,
such as the Scrum method. So, students reported the need to acquire
practical knowledge of agile methods. Due to the COVID-19
pandemic, remote teaching has become the most practical and
efficient way of imparting knowledge through courses and
workshops. Based on the needs of the project's target audience, this
study presents a proposal for teaching a practical approach using
the Scrum method to college students. This paper presents the
methodology used, describing the students' perceptions of the
strategies, didactics, and the resources used. Also, we describe the
real examples of hands-on activities and Kahoot, and the results of
a questionnaire applied to collect feedback. The data obtained were
analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. According to the results
the satisfaction level with the course was high, given the
contribution of students to the practice of Scrum roles. Regarding
the methodology, 100% of the students considered it easy and 85%
were satisfied with the course, in general. In addition, most of the
participants stated that they enjoyed the hands-on activities and felt
quite competent after completing them. Moreover, students state
that they enjoyed the course due to (a) the teaching methodology,
(b) the use of real examples, and (c) the content approach. Thus, the
relevance of good results obtained leads us to discussions about
future actions.
