gamES: a User-Centered Design Gamification Framework for Software Development Learning
Abstract
Software development is considered a challenge due to the constant changes in requirements, costs, and risks, the involvement of stakeholders, making it essential to develop solutions that meet the real needs of the user in this context. Thus, to achieve high-quality results, different skills are required, and teaching in this area is a complex activity. This article presents gamES, a framework aimed at teaching software development, integrating the User-Centered Design approach, and Gamification strategies. The methodological discourse was composed of two Design Thinking sessions, a prototyping stage, to gather and refine the requirements, and an evaluation stage for user validation. As a result, a list of requirements and a set of user evaluations had been produced,
which demonstrated ease in understanding how to use the structure, in addition to identifying the elements of gamification.
