As computer hardware becomes more and more parallel, there is a need for software engineers who are experienced in developing parallel programs, not only by "parallelizing" sequential designs. Teach students a parallelism in elementary courses in computer science this is a very important step towards building the competencies of future software engineers. We have conducted research on "teaching parallel and distributed computing" and "parallel programming" publications in the Scopus database, published in English between 2008 and 2019. After quality assessment, 26 articles were included in the analysis. As a result, the main tool for teaching parallel and distributed computing is a lab course with a C++ programming language and MPI library.
