Ocenjivanje veštine timskog rada programera - studija slučaja

Abstract

Dobri programeri moraju posedovati različite programerske (tehničke) veštine i znanja, ali i odgovarajuće lične osobine i veštine kako bi se uklopili u radno okruženje. Jednu od najvažnijih ličnih veština u ovom smislu predstavlja timski rad, odnosno veština kolaboracije. Međutim, u obrazovanju se često zanemaruje ova veština, pogotovu u kontekstu programiranja. Pošto se ne izdaju diplome i sertifikati za timski rad, niti se on ocenjuje, poslodavci moraju da testiraju kandidate prilikom zapošljavanja (često su to testovi ličnosti), a kasnije i da ih dodatno obučavaju za timski rad. U ovom radu je prikazana studija slučaja koja obuhvata organizovanje kursa programiranja u kome se osim tehničkih znanja i veština iz odgovarajućih tehnologija, podstiče razvoj i procenjuje kolaboracija studenata. Posebne pedagoške rubrike i pokazatelji su napravljeni u tu svrhu i korišćeni su uporedo sa softverskim alatima za kolaborativni rad programera. Upotrebljeni su digitalni otvoreni bedževi kao način za priznavanje postignutog nivoa kolaboracije, ali i ostalih programerskih veština. Ovi bedževi, osim podataka o tome koji je nivo veštine postignut i ko ih izdaje, omogućuju direktan pristup onome što je konkretno urađeno, kao i kriterijumima vrednovanja postignuća. Stoga, oni mogu biti korisni i poslodavcima i kandidatima za posao.

Good programmers must be versatile. They need to possess various programming (technical) skills and knowledge, but also appropriate personal traits and soft skills to fit into the work environment. Perhaps one of the most important soft skills in this context is collaboration. Unfortunately, this skill is often overlooked in education, especially in the context of programming. And since diplomas and certificates for collaboration are not issued, the employers must themselves test applicants on a job interview (they often use personality tests) and later train them to work in teams. This paper presents a case study that deals with organizing a programming course in Java. The course, in addition to technical knowledge and skills in relevant technologies, fosters the development and assessment of students’ collaboration skill. Special pedagogical rubrics and indicators were developed to support these processes and were used along with software tools for collaborative programming. Digital open badges were used as means of acknowledging the achieved skill level - both for technical skills and collaboration skills. These badges, in addition to the skill level achieved and badge issuer data, contain digital evidence of the work performed, as well as the assessment criteria. Therefore, they may be useful for both employers and job applicants.
