Resumo

Increasingly, learning in groups has become present in school environments. This fact is also part of the organizations, when considers learning in the workplace. Conscious of the importance of group learning at the workplace (CSCL@Work) emerges as an application area. In Computer Supported Collaborative Learning(CSCL), researchers have been struggling to maximize the performance of groups by techniques for forming groups. Is that why this study developed three (3) algorithmic approaches to formation of intraheterogeneous and inter-homogeneous groups, as well as a model proposed in this work in which integrates dichotomous functional characteristics and preferred roles. We made an algorithm that generates random groups, a Canonical Genetic Algorithm and Hybrid Genetic Algorithm. We obtained the input data of the algorithm by a survey conducted at the Court of the State of Goiás to identify dichotomous functional characteristics, and after we categorize these characteristics, based on the data found and the model proposed group formation. Starting at real data provided of employees whom participated in a course by Distance Education (EaD), we apply the model and we obtained the input data related to functional features. As regards the favorite roles, we assigned randomly values to the employees aforementioned, from a statistical statement made by Belbin into companies in the United Kingdom. Then, we executed the algorithms in three test cases, one considering the preferred papers and functional characteristics, while the other two separately considering each of these perspectives. Based on the results obtained, we found that the hybrid genetic algorithm outperforms the canonical genetic algorithm and random generator.
