Abstract
The use of gamification as a teaching method has been increasingly tried in Software Engineering courses. Some studies carried out by the research community seek to understand gamification and its elements in the context of Software Engineering in general. However, an important issue is to analyze gamification as a pedagogical tool capable of affecting the knowledge assimilated by students. In this sense, the aim of this article is to report on an initial investigation about gamification in Software Engineering in order to preliminarily identify evidence of success of how this method brings pedagogical benefits to the teaching-learning process in this area. For this, twelve literature reviews on the subject were analyzed, extending a recent tertiary study on gamification in Software Engineering, in order to collect data to support the protocol of a more specific study in the context of the teaching-learning process in Software Engineering. Software. It was found that the existing experimental studies did not use learning assessment methods and that there is a need to map intended benefits and how they can be effectively achieved.
