This paper deals with the Scrum methodology as an alternative to pedagogical practices and managing of the software projects, presenting an investigation with the students of scientific initiation of an university from the Brazil's northeast. It was seeking to analyze the accomplishment of the students with the Scrum practices, as well the percepetion of the learning of the methodology, showing the positive aspects and the negative ones through this experience. As a conclusion, the Scrum methodology is indicated to manage projects even when the team has limited or none experience promoting the learning, adding value and satisfaction to the student.
On the Use of Scrum in Project Driven Higher Education
The use of scrum development methodology to promote learning in project driven, interdisciplinary higher education courses in computer science is examined by using theoretical notations and recent research results from the literature. Moreover, empirical data will be gathered from a case study on a research focused, project driven under-graduate course in computer science. Our contribution is to initiate a discussion aiming at increasing the pedagogical awareness on the use of the scrum methodology to promote learning in higher education. Moreover, a further refined scrum method, adapted and more fine-tuned to suit the par-ticular needs in the learning situation at university courses in technology, is proposed.
Implementation of Scrum Methodology for Optimizing the Working of Edcational System
2013
— This paper will contain the implementation of a very successful and high performance oriented concept of SCRUM (Agile Methodology) into a totally new domain area i.e. Education. Scrum and education sector are two very different concepts and are very uncommon to each other.This paper will help us to guide how SCRUM will be mapped and implemented into the working of an education system and how can it improve productivity and better monitoring of the various activities which were done on an unplanned basis. We have provided real scenario based mapping of various stakeholders from SCRUM concept to those in the Education system who will be part of the model and will be responsible in implementing the processes in such a way that SCRUM comes out to be a better implication to them in terms of performance monitoring of the faculties as well as the students.This paper will also help us check the impact of SCRUM methodology apart from the software projects and processes.
Agile Methodology in Educational Leadership: Scrum
Proceedings of the 7th Annual International Seminar on Transformative Education and Educational Leadership, AISTEEL 2022, 20 September 2022, Medan, North Sumatera Province, Indonesia
Education world experiences evolution and revolution adjacent to the development of environment and technology. The actors participating in education world are now facing a future challenge which is volatile, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity (VUCA) due to the rapid change in environment and disruption of technology. This paper is a literature review on Scrum, a framework for growing and strengthening complex product adapted from software development and particularly expressed in educational leadership. Scrum is one of agile methodologies worth of implementing with servant leadership. The theory of Scrum as an agile methodology such as transparency, inspection, and adaptation are described and the map of agile manifesto is defined in educational leadership context.
Effectiveness of SCRUM in Project Based Learning: Students View
Innovation, Engineering and Entrepreneurship, 2018
Project and team management play a major role in the student team’s project performance. This is more evident when projects last a long time and the teams are large. In this work, a student team accepted to use SCRUM as their project management methodology during their Project Based Learning (PjBL) experience. This PjBL experience took place on the 7th semester of the Integrated Master in Industrial Engineering and Management degree. The team had a short period of time to train the technique and apply it throughout the entire semester. Although not very enthusiastic in the beginning of the project, the team gradually became aware of the advantages of SCRUM features, recognizing the feeling of having the project under control and gaining management effectiveness throughout the semester. In the end, the team performed well above the average, being one of the two teams with the highest score of the class.
On the use of SCRUM for the management of practcal projects in graduate courses
2009 39th IEEE Frontiers in Education Conference, 2009
The premises considered by this work are that projects development in graduate courses is important for knowledge consolidation. However, one of the problems is that, usually, students are not prepared to manage and to be managed. This situation causes higher effort waste and is time-consuming. Additionally, the quality is decreased due to poor self-management and inadequate division of activities. Such problems can be minimized if there is a management policy that provides a wider vision of the project's course, allowing the problems to be anticipated in such a way as to correct the flaws as soon as possible. This work proposes the adaptation of the SCRUM Agile Project Management Methodology in the context of the development of academic projects, both in undergraduate and graduate courses, where students are organized in small teams and execute the project in a systematic way. This method was applied during the practical part of the "real-time systems" course, whose project was the development of an automated industrial production line with robot arms, using the LEGO NXT robotic kit. Therefore, this paper will show implementation aspects of the proposed method, difficulties and solutions, which parts of Scrum were effectively adopted and, specially, the learnt lessons.
This paper introduces a pedagogical method derived from agile work practices, particularly the scrum method of project based working. It will discuss how this agile method can be aligned with teaching and learning in formal schooling and project based learning developing an agile pedagogical approach which can lead to: greater agency for both learners and teachers; the purposeful integration of digital tools into practice; and the development of human capability and functioning through a change in learning design. It goes further in conceptualizing the teaching-learning dynamic as a " technology for learning " in so far as technology is definable as a purposeful process of knowledge creation.

Agile methodologies at an educational context: a systematic review
2020
This is a work in progress and the category is research. This paper presents a systematic review on the usage of agile methodologies in educational environments. During history, multiple strategies were created in order to solve the necessity of helping students on building their knowledge. The arrival of new technologies opens new possibilities due to the easy access to information, and this fact transforms student’s profiles worldwide. In this context, it is important to find new ways to assist learners through the journey of learning while improving their motivation. Recently, the application of agile project management methodologies, such as Scrum and Extreme Programming, has emerged as an option to be adopted inside the classroom aiming to improve learning. Due to their capabilities of flexibilization of student’s self-regulation, these methodologies have become an interesting option in an educational environment hence their high adaptability to requirements changes that may oc...
