An Investigation on the Learning Routine of Software Developers
Abstract
This work describes a qualitative research carried out with professional software developers regarding their learning routines. We investigate participants' perceptions about their learning tasks and strategies used. We consider an interview script based on the Self-Regulation of Learning model. The results indicate the ability to learn is crucial for such professionals and their routines are very similar to that of self-regulated learners.
Keywords:
Learning, Self-Regulated Learning, Software Developers
