Resumo




This paper presents an investigation on how students' background, previous experience and teams composition may influence the teaching process on active learning environments. Using a survey we were able to get data from students that participated in a two-year mobile application development course. We have found indicatives that the timeframe of an activity and the composition of the teams can have an impact students individual perception regarding the project. Moreover, our results also present indicatives that the number of students participating in a project may impact the students perception of projects.
