Context: gamification has been used to motivate and engage participants in software engineering education and practice activities. Problem: There is a significant demand for empirical studies for the understanding of the impacts and efficacy of gamification. However, the lack of standard procedures and models for the evaluation of gamification is a challenge for the design, comparison, and report of results related to the assessment of gamification approaches and its effects. Goal: The goal of this study is to identify models and strategies for the evaluation of gamification reported in the literature. Method: To achieve this goal, we conducted a systematic mapping study to investigate strategies for the evaluation of gamification in the context of software engineering. We selected 100 primary studies on gamification in software engineering (from 2011 to 2020). We categorized the studies regarding the presence of evaluation procedures or models for the evaluation of gamification, the purpose of the evaluation, the criteria used, the type of data, instruments, and procedures for data analysis. Results: Our results show that 64 studies report procedures for the evaluation of gamification. However, only three studies actually propose evaluation models for gamification. We observed that the evaluation of gamification focuses on two aspects: the evaluation of the gamification strategy itself, related to the user experience and perceptions; and the evaluation of the outcomes and effects of gamification on its users and context. The most recurring criteria for the evaluation are "engagement", "performance", "satisfaction", and "motivation". Finally, the evaluation of gamification requires a mix of subjective and objective inputs, and qualitative and quantitative data analysis approaches. Depending of the focus of the evaluation (the strategy or the outcomes), there is a predominance of a type of data and analysis.

The software industry is dissatisfied about the preparation level of recently graduated professionals that work in the Software Engineering (SE) area. Thus, companies invest in professional training for the teaching of specific practices. Based on industry training strategies and teaching methods focused on student, this paper presents a framework proposal for the SE teaching/learning. We expect that the use of this framework can help to reduce the shortage in training professionals and consequently meet the software industry's demand. Resumo.A indústria de software apresenta insatisfação quanto ao nível de preparação dos profissionais recém-formados que atuam na área de Engenharia de Software (ES). Assim, as empresas investem na capacitação profissional para repasse de práticas específicas da ES. Baseado em estratégias de capacitação da indústria e em métodos de ensino focados no aluno, este artigo apresenta uma proposta de framework para o ensino/aprendizado de ES. Espera-se que o uso deste framework possa ajudar a diminuir a carência na formação de profissionais e, consequentemente, atender a demanda da indústria de software.
