LEARN : Evolução de um jogo de tabuleiro para o ensino de Arquitetura de Software

Abstract

With the increasing technological development of society, it was possible to create systems that help people's daily lives. With this discovery, better structuring of the systems created was soon necessary. With this in mind, the Software Engineering discipline was created, which is dedicated to studying the best way to generate efficient and effective software, monitoring the development of the software from its idea until after its use. Furthermore, with notable importance, the software creation process was divided into stages, one of which was the Architecture Project. This stage is characterized by defining the scope of the system components and how they will be interconnected. In fact, the importance of this phase in the construction of the program is evident. Aiming for better learning, teachers seek to adopt active methodologies to teach students, with games being a viable and effective choice. This work proposes an evolution of the LEARN game, which aims to teach Software Architecture. Based on the data collected and analyzed using the "Grounded Theory" technique, the points for improvement of this tool were analyzed. With this specification, the changes were implemented and an analysis was carried out using the MEEGA+ method. The result of this study had a total of 32 responses and an accuracy greater than 100 points on the MEEGA+ quality scale, thus pointing out the game as an excellent aid in teaching Software Architecture.
