Masters of the Process: A Board Game Proposal for Teaching Software Management and Software Development Process
Resumo
Software Engineering (SE) education has a current challenge to provide sufficient hands-on experience for their students. Game-based learning represents a promising alternative to teach computing in higher education, promoting an "active learning" and serving as entertaining means for drill and practice. This paper presents "Masters of the Process", a board game proposal for teaching software management and software development process competences. For this, the design, construction and evaluation steps of the proposed game are described, as well as the usability results together with a brief comparison among SE board games. As a result, a simple, interactive and multiplayer game was provided, able to teach important SE concepts in a practical, competitive and funny way.
