The level of Collaboration between Academia and Industry (IAC) in Software Engineering is still very low, despite the benefits in promoting innovation. There is encouragement for practical scientific research, but the interaction between these sectors is still challenging. This research aims to analyze the perspectives of undergraduate students, master’s students and academic doctoral students from a computing course, industry and government professionals involved in real projects through the application of the Action Research (AR) method as a criterion to promote IAC. The objective was achieved through the replication of a case study in different projects applying AR in software companies in a context similar to that of the original research. The case study was applied to two private software development companies, 3 real projects developed by academia and a government agency in the state of Pernambuco. Clients and students demonstrated great satisfaction with the results achieved, despite the methodology still encountering some challenges.

摘要

The level of Collaboration between Academia and Industry (IAC) in Software Engineering is still very low, despite the benefits in promoting innovation. There is encouragement for practical scientific research, but the interaction between these sectors is still challenging. This research aims to analyze the perspectives of undergraduate students, master’s students and academic doctoral students from a computing course, industry and government professionals involved in real projects through the application of the Action Research (AR) method as a criterion to promote IAC. The objective was achieved through the replication of a case study in different projects applying AR in software companies in a context similar to that of the original research. The case study was applied to two private software development companies, 3 real projects developed by academia and a government agency in the state of Pernambuco. Clients and students demonstrated great satisfaction with the results achieved, despite the methodology still encountering some challenges.
