Integration of educational free software to the teaching-learning process in computer careers

Abstract

Educational software, which takes advantage of the freedoms of free software in the teaching-learning process, has potential in subjects related to computer programming. Although authors have researched about educational software development and the integration of technologies to the teaching-learning process, we have not found an integration model that addresses the use of free software freedoms in the teaching-learning process of subjects related to computer programming. The present work aims to analyze the integration of educational free software to the teaching-learning process, in order to obtain the necessary elements that allow its study and evaluatin. The research included the analytical-synthetic method and the modeling with a systemic-structuralfunctional approach. We propose two dimensions, each with 5 sub-dimensions, which respond to the proposed objective.
