摘要：AbstractThis study investigated the influence of increasing practice and the inclusion of applied examples (exercises with a direct application or related to real problems) during programming and numerical analysis courses. The results obtained from this experiment demonstrated that examples related to students engineering careers have a very positive impact on learning and awaked up the student interest on programming courses; in comparison with students who just follow examples from a textbook as in an ordinary course. The conclusions of this work were obtained from the analysis and comparison of the statistical information of the students’ performance during 2 programming courses and an additional mathematical course (numerical analysis). Finally, a questionnaire (at the end of the courses) about the methods used for teaching was applied in order to investigate students’ opinion.
