Modelo de simulación basado en agentes aplicado a la aprobación de materias del área de programación en las carreras de Ingeniería en Sistemas Computacionales y Computación de la Universidad Católica de Santiago de Guayaquil.

Abstract

The objective of the degree work is to determine the causes and the extent to which students fail the subjects of the programming area, not everything is as simple as saying is a bad student, each person is a different world, with its own problems and difficulties, which can affect the educational level of any student. In the collection of information, the techniques used are interviewing teachers, survey and observation to a specific classroom in the programming area were used, resulting in five categories which encompass the variables found. Once these causes were determined, a simulation model based on agents was made to test these data and compare their results, thus being able to determine the most influential causes in the rejection of a subject, this information will be useful to be able to take measures at the institutional level to reduce this problem to the minimum possible and to serve as an analysis in future research.
