One of the biggest problems of educational games is the adequate integration of learning content into the game environment. Thereby the main challenge is to create a balance between gameplay and learning objectives and the correct transfer of learning principles into the game design. A useful approach is to identify game components and their specific learning constraints and the relationship between...
Teaching software testing is a challenging task. Especially if you want to impart more in-depth and practical knowledge to the students. Therefore, most lectures still teach in a classic lecture format despite the fact that this way of instruction is in any case the optimal way of instruction for today's requirements anymore. In this paper we present our implementation of an active learning method...
Within this thesis, we present our suggestions why playful learning in software engineering education is useful to mediate generic competences in academic teaching. Therefor we identified competences which are addressed by playful learning and mapped them to demanded generic competences in software engineering. Due to the well compliance, we analyzed current implementations of playful learning and...
Considering the claim of furthering self-directed learning in higher education in general and in Software Engineering education in particular, this paper deals with a new approach on understanding and facilitating self-directed learning. This approach involves the concept of subjective theories, which are expected to influence students' self-directed learning. Therefore this paper presents the intended...
Software Engineering is a very volatile profession that requires a variety of theoretical as well as practical skills. In addition to expertise technical knowledge, graduates have to have a variety of social, methodical and personal competences. The acquirement of these non-functional competences are getting more and more important for a successful software engineer. To fulfill these requirements,...
The increase in complexity of software and its creation over the last decades requires an increase in the quality of the education of software engineering professionals. The number of Universities which answer this call by replacing or extending lectures with simulated software projects is constantly rising. However, the question how to best transfer new technological knowledge needed to be successful...
The professional requirements in Software Engineering have become highly volatile due to the complexities of project development and rapid and innovative changes occurring in the field. Therefore, the development of inter-personal and social competences has gained central importance in the training of software developers. This paper will present a concept allowing to acquire competences by using Case...
