- © 2021 IEEE.Average students are satisfied with the learning obtained through the activities indicated in the course program. It is necessary to innovate in the educational process so that students find more meaning in their learning process, incorporating the experience of similar situations in the workplace, motivating a constant improvement and stimulating the development of creative thinking for the solution of problems.Research suggests that when teachers challenge students with problems according to reality, it increases confidence and motivation for learning in them.In the present work, we share the experience of incorporating a 'challenge' in the Analysis and Design of Algorithms course, where through the simulation of a job interview of a software development company, students are motivated to work 'an extra time'.
