Gamification in Software Engineering Education: a Tertiary Study
SBES '23: Proceedings of the XXXVII Brazilian Symposium on Software Engineering(2024)
摘要
As the significance of Software Engineering (SE) professionals continues to
grow in the industry, the adoption of gamification techniques for training
purposes has gained traction due to its potential to enhance class appeal
through game-derived elements. This paper presents a tertiary study
investigating the application of gamification in Software Engineering (SE)
education. The study was conducted in response to recent systematic literature
reviews and mappings on the topic. The findings reveal that the areas of SE
most frequently gamified are Software Testing and Software Quality, with
competition and cooperation being the most commonly utilized gamification
elements. Additionally, the majority of studies focus on structural
gamification, where game elements are employed to modify the learning
environment without altering the content. The results demonstrate the potential
of gamification to improve students' engagement and motivation throughout the
SE learning process, while also impacting other aspects such as performance
improvement, skill development, and fostering good SE practices. However,
caution is advised as unplanned and incorrectly applied gamification measures
may lead to significant declines in performance and motivation. (English
