Abstract

This article describes the process of applying a proposal of students of the course Didactics of Algorithms and Data Structures (DAED). DAED is a course of the degree in Computer Engineering. It is based on the epistemology of Jean Piaget as a theoretical framework and on the theory of didactical situations of Guy Brousseau as a didactic model. In the course, the theoretical concepts are introduced through practical learning experiences. The final coursework is to redesign learning activities for specific content that the students choose. The article highlights a student proposal of learning activities designed to teach about Dynamic Memory and Pointers, and the importance of this learning experience of the DAED students.
