“…in the courses. These findings are similar to findings in a recent study of gamification in a problem-based learning software engineering course, in which most of the students rated the use of games in the course at the highest possible rank (Ivanova, Kozov & Zlatarov, 2019).…”

Technology-enriched lessons can contribute to improving student engagement and learning in engineering courses. In this study we systematically incorporated Kahoot!, a game-based response system, in two mandatory content-intensive undergraduate engineering courses. In both courses, short quizzes were incorporated regularly at the beginning of the lesson. The questions were mostly about concepts, and students earned bonus points. At the end of the course, the students filled in an anonymous survey regarding their perceptions of the Kahoot! part of the lessons. In addition, the students’ grades in the final test were compared to their gains in the Kahoot! quizzes. We found that student satisfaction with the systematic incorporation of the Kahoot! quizzes was high in both courses. Most students were motivated to review the course content before class and about half were motivated to attend class. Most students perceived Kahoot! quizzes as contributing to their understanding of the course content. We also found a positive association between student success in the quizzes and their performance in the final exam in both courses. The frequent Kahoot! quizzes supplied continuous feedback to the students and lecturers, and the students became more engaged in the course content. Our findings indicate that technology-enriched strategies, specifically gamification techniques, contribute to increased student engagement, motivation, and performance in content-intensive engineering courses.

“…Another possible extension to the modeling assistant is gamification, which can increase student engagement with course material and potentially provide some entertainment value [5] [14]. Different problem statements can be at increasing levels of difficulty.…”

The enrolment of software engineering students has increased rapidly in the past few years following industry demand. At the same time, model-driven engineering (MDE) continues to become relevant to more domains like embedded systems and machine learning. It is therefore important to teach students MDE skills in an effective manner to prepare them for future careers in academia and industry. The use of interactive online tools can help instructors deliver course material to more students in a more efficient manner, allowing them to offload repetitive or tedious tasks to these systems and focus on other teaching activities that cannot be easily automated. Interactive online tools can provide students with a more engaging learning experience than static resources like books or written exercises. Domain modeling with class diagrams is a fundamental modeling activity in MDE. While there exist multiple modeling tools that allow students to build a domain model, none of them offer an interactive learning experience. In this paper, we explore the interactions between a student modeler and an interactive domain modeling assistant with the aim of better understanding the required interaction. We illustrate desired interactions with three examples and then formalize them in a metamodel. Based on the metamodel, we explain how to form a corpus of learning material that supports the assistant interactions. CCS CONCEPTS • Applied computing → Interactive learning environments; • Software and its engineering → Model-driven software engineering; Unified Modeling Language (UML); • Social and professional topics → Software engineering education.

A gamificação é considerada um recurso útil em diversas áreas. Particularmente, entre seus objetivos na educação estão a redução da evasão e o aumento da motivação nas disciplinas e no curso. Por outro lado, muitas das tarefas da disciplina de Engenharia de Software são demoradas e podem, às vezes, ser consideradas repetitivas pelos alunos. Diante disso, este artigo descreve um mapeamento sistemático sobre a aplicação da gamificação no ensino e aprendizagem de Engenharia de Software. As 17 publicações resultantes foram utilizadas para responder às questões de pesquisa propostas e mostraram que a gamificação tem resultados positivos quando aplicada na disciplina de Engenharia de Software.
