SUMMARY:

Context: The software industry's growing demand for qualified professionals highlights the importance and need for valuing Education in Software Engineering in the training of graduates from higher education courses in the area of Computing. Educators are continually challenged to keep up with emerging trends in the area, to identify appropriate techniques and incorporate them into their software engineering disciplines, in order to promote the development of skills and competences that guarantee graduates of courses in the area of Computing an education that reconciles the learning of concepts, processes, techniques and tools provided in the academic environment with the needs and best practices of the software industry. Free, Libre and Open Source software projects provide an opportunity for students and professors of undergraduate courses to work on the content of the software engineering discipline in realistic projects, which bring a real-world experience close to the demands of the world of work. Problem: One of the challenges associated with the use of FLOSS in the EES is how the educator can evaluate the chosen project as a teaching and learning resource, as well as its effectiveness for the pedagogical objective proposed by the activity or discipline. It is relevant to use evaluation methods or models that allow the professor to measure and evaluate the results from his choice, according to the learning requirements necessary after the conclusion of the activity or discipline. Objective: This work proposes the creation of a model to evaluate the effectiveness of using FLOSS projects in the teaching of Software Engineering. The proposed model will be based on the mapping of evaluation criteria that will be structured in order to facilitate the analysis of the scope of the pedagogical objectives planned for the curricular component. Research Methods: Through Content Analysis, the aim is to identify the most relevant technical and sociotechnical skills and abilities for the Software Engineering discipline, according to the main curricular guidelines in Brazil and abroad, and to investigate aspects of interference, both technical and pedagogical, of the use of FLOSS projects in teaching the discipline of software engineering. Based on this information, it is intended to define the evaluation criteria and, through a theoretical dialogue, identify their relationships to propose a Model for evaluating the effectiveness of the use of FLOSS projects in the teaching of Software Engineering. Expected Contributions: The use of methods to evaluate FLOSS projects in the EES can stimulate the insertion of educators in the FLOSS ecosystem, in addition to offering new forms of evaluation to those who recognize and adopt such projects in the classroom, a solution to the real development of skills and abilities associated with theoretical and practical aspects of software engineering, important in the training of professionals from the various areas of the Computing area.
