Abstract

This paper reports the students’ perceptions regarding active learning (AL) activities in a pandemic context and the use of AL and related tools to improve soft skills, such as critical thinking and teamwork. This work describes the active learning activities applied in a pandemic context for a Software Engineering course and presents students’ survey results. Based on students’ opinions, we conclude that AL and the associated tools, while promoting soft skills, also promoted motivation and student engagement for face-to-face and remote classes in the pandemic context by minimizing the negative impact it may have caused on the students.
