Abstract

Software Architecture plays a crucial role in ensuring the quality of systems. For professionals to develop high-quality systems, they must have a solid knowledge of architectural patterns and styles. In this context, this work proposes DECORA, a system designed to support the teaching of architectural decisions, facilitating the understanding of complex concepts. DECORA aims to offer an interactive approach that allows students to learn architectural patterns and styles through an adaptive questionnaire, generating personalized recommendations based on the answers provided. The obtained results in the evaluation indicate that DECORA contributes to increasing student motivation and improving the understanding of architectural concepts.
