Resumo
Learning difficulties in computing courses is a situation perceived in diverse universities
from different countries, cultures and backgrounds. These difficulties directly affect achievement
rates and increase course evasion. We believe in the existence of a foundation
of cognitive processes, that without it, even the most motivated student would have trouble
to transform the received information into knowledge. This work has focused mainly
on the research of candidate methods for cognitive processes assessment with a strong
background theory. With this kind of information would be possible to devise cognitive
interventions, in order to evolve students cognitive level, and consequently, raise their success
rates. A systematic review was conducted and among the many researched methods
we selected Lawson Classroom Test of Scientific Reasoning - LCTSR. Authorized by
its author, we conducted the first translation of LCTSR to Brazilian Portuguese and administered
to students of three undergraduate computing courses: Information Systems,
Computer Science and Software Engineering.We also present results of its administration
that we consider important to reinforce the above suggested strategy
