Uso de jogos como estratégia para o ensino de reutilização de software

Abstract

Software Reuse (SR) is one of the disciplines of Software Engineering (SE) and corresponds to the use of existing software artifacts and knowledge to build something new. One of the main areas of this discipline is software componentization. Despite the advantages offered by SR, the systematic practice has not become a standard in companies, and the lack of education is considered one of the possible causes of this problem, with reports of difficulties related to the lack of engagement, motivation, and student practice. To minimize these listed problems, many scholars are using games as a teaching strategy, due to the various advantages that this strategy can bring, and it is possible to find games in different areas of SE. However, the mapping that was carried out in this work did not find any game created with the specific purpose of teaching SR, that is the goal of this work. In this dissertation, some games were created and evaluated, indicating satisfaction by the majority of users.
