Gamificação na disciplina de Qualidade de Software: uma análise sob a perspectiva do perfil de jogadores

Abstract

Gamification incorporates various elements that can be combined in different ways, making it relevant to investigate how different gamification systems impact the teaching and learning process, even in similar contexts. This article explores a gamification strategy applied to Software Quality in an undergraduate course in Software Engineering. This gamification strategy uses badges to record student progress, evolving from a previous strategy that used sticker albums. The player profiles of the students were identified to allow an analysis of their motivation and engagement after the experience from the pers- pective of different profiles. There was more significant variation regarding the different types of players, even though most of the perceptions were positive.
