Teaching and learning environments of software process improvement are incorporating new strategies for helping to decrease current weaknesses related to basic-sciences formation, motivation, and communication. One of such strategies includes the usage of gamification principles for achieving student competencies related to teamwork, problem solving, leadership, and effective communication. For assessing the teaching and learning strategies, it is required to consider the following features: i) the student competencies; ii) the didactic proposals and techniques; and, iii) the satisfaction level of the students, regarding the teaching strategy. In this paper, an assessment proposal of teaching and learning strategies in software process improvement is presented, with a preliminary validation method based on gamification principles. Finally, a case study for validating a didactic proposal is presented as a pilot of the assessment proposal.

Keywords : Assessment; teaching-learning process; software process improvement; gamification; competences.
