Formação de grupos de alunos baseada em múltiplos critérios

Abstract

Group formation is one of the main steps of the collaborative learning. This paper proposes an intelligent method to optimize the group formation process considering multiple criteria: inter-homogeneity, intra-heterogeneity and empathy. The method was evaluated regarding the performance, being compared to the exhaustive and random approaches; And regarding the pedagogical aspect, being compared with random and self-selected methods. The results showed the potential of the proposed method from the computational point of view as well as the pedagogical point of view.
