La estructura EPS como estrategia de aprendizaje del paradigma de programación funcional en Ingeniería de Sistemas
Omar Iván Trejos Buriticá, Luis Eduardo Muñoz Guerrero · Entre ciencia e ingeniería · 2025
The teaching and learning of programming in the context of systems engineering, given the great acceptance that this university training program has, becomes more and more a reason not only for research but also for permanent inquiry to find ways that facilitate said learning. The relevance of the concept of function both from the functional paradigm and from the imperative and object-oriented paradigm invites us to think about methodologies that facilitate and simplify said learning. An experimental test was carried out with two groups in parallel per semester so that one group is a research group, and the other is a reference group, between the first semester of 2020 and the second semester of 2021, inclusive. The results show a notable tendency to favor the learning of the concept of function when there is a structure that enables its understanding, design, and application. It is concluded that to the extent that learning strategies are investigated in relation to the concept of function, learning to program will be significantly simplified in both program development and conceptualization.
