MPS.BR Game: proposta de jogo educacional para apoio à aprendizagem do MPS.BR

Abstract

The software process is one of the areas studied in Software Engineering. In this context, the Association for the Promotion of Excellence in Brazilian Software (SOFTEX), I take a national initiative, called the Brazilian Software Process Improvement Program (MPS.BR), to improve the quality of the software processes of Brazilian associations. In order to apply more engaging strategies in the teaching-learning process, the use of games as a media for the dissemination of knowledge has been an approach adopted by teachers in recent years. With that, the present work presents a game proposal called “MPS.BR GAME”, which aims to help the student to fix, exercise and learn about the maturity guide of the MPS.BR software. The game was developed and evaluated by a group of students from the Federal University of Ceará (UFC) Russas campus, from the Software Engineering and Computer Science courses. The results indicated that, in general, players have feelings that the game teaches about this content, thus concluding that the MPS.BR The game can be used to aid in learning the content of the MPS.BR.
