Typically, software professionals are trained in undergraduate courses as a way of preparing to the industry. However, there is a shortage of qualified professionals in relation to Software Process field in the Brazilian industry. Thus, software companies have to provide skills related to the Software Process areas through training. To address this problem, this PhD research aims to analyze the recommendations for the Software Process education in curriculum guidelines of computer courses in Brazil. In addition, we will examine which of these recommendations are relevant to software professionals. Furthermore, we propose a teaching approach that aims to meet the goals of these curriculum guidelines through models and quality standards for the process and software product widely adopted in the Brazilian software industry.
