“…In REET, it is essential to combine academic knowledge with practical application to give students experiences relevant to real industry cases. 10 Conventional pedagogical approaches require instructors or peers to actively participate in the practical training, which limits the repeatability and length of the project. Although technological advancements could help address this issue, not many studies utilize new technologies in the field of REET.…”

“…9 Technological tools like games, domain expert systems, and simulations can overcome these limitations of humanhuman role-playing activities by incorporating a digital interview partner. 10 Social robots have been a prevalent source of help, particularly in professions like teaching, training, and education, where success depends on regular practice and attentive supervision. Their interactive appearance and expressions give them a sense of presence that disembodied or virtual entities may lack.…”

Interviewing stakeholders is the most popular technique for eliciting requirements. The success of an interview depends on the interviewer's theoretical knowledge, preparedness, and communication skills. Practice interviews allow students to apply their knowledge and improve their skills through experience. This practical training is resource‐intensive, requiring the time and effort of a stakeholder for each student, which may not be feasible for a large number of students. This paper introduces RoboREIT, an interactive Robotic tutor for Requirements Elicitation Interview Training. RoboREIT addresses the scalability problem of practice sessions with a robotic tutor acting as a stakeholder during the interview and providing feedback after the interview. We performed an exploratory user study to evaluate RoboREIT and demonstrate its applicability in requirements elicitation interview training. The quantitative and qualitative analyses of the users' responses reveal the appreciation of RoboREIT. Our study is the first in the literature that utilizes a social robot in requirements elicitation interview education. RoboREIT's design incorporates replaying faulty interview stages and allows the student to learn from mistakes by a second time practicing. All participants praised the feedback component, which is not present in the state of the art, for being helpful in identifying the mistakes. A favorable response rate of 81% for the system's usefulness indicates the positive perception of the participants.

“…There currently is no 'standard' RE pedagogical strategy, although there have been a number of notable initiatives over the years [2,4]. There are also several possible paths through RE, which is why there are multiple possible courses on RE.…”

“…In the past 50 years or so, RE has evolved from an almost exclusively technically-oriented endeavor addressing mathematical problems to a contextually-, anthropologically-, and socially-sensitive discipline tackling illstructured problems, such as "wicked problems". This change invariably impacts how software requirements engineering education (REE) should be perceived, planned, and pursued [3,4], what the expected role of a software requirements engineer needs to be [2], and what the desirable competencies of a software requirements engineer are to be [5,6].…”

On the Implications of Human-Paper Interaction for Software Requirements Engineering Education

It is broadly accepted that requirements engineering is one of the most important phases of a software project, and requires tools to be effective. For a variety of reasons, paper as a tool has lasted for millennia and remains ubiquitous. This paper makes a case for a contextual, conscientious, and evidence-based use of paper in a competency-oriented approach to software requirements engineering education (REE). It argues that the prophecies for the obsolescence of paper are premature, there are unique benefits in the use of paper, and the decision to use paper should be based on [0, 1] rather than {0, 1}. In this regard, a need-centered conceptual model for human-paper interaction is proposed. The characteristics of paper that make it historically unique are reported and the affordances of paper relevant to REE are discussed. The REE-related activities that benefit from viewing paper as a boundary object and using different types of paper are highlighted and illustrated by means of examples. In advocating polyliteracy, the potential for a convergence of paper and digital media towards a harmonic coexistence is underscored.
