ZAPATA-JARAMILLO, Carlos; GONZALEZ-CALDERON, Guillermo  and  RIVERA, Darliana. PoV-GAME: VIEWPOINTS THROUGH GAMES. Rev. ing. univ. Medellín [online]. 2012, vol.11, n.20, pp.115-126. ISSN 1692-3324.

Information for software applications is delivered by the stakeholders. Software development projects need consistency as an important aspect of such information. In other words, agreement among the different viewpoints must be reached in order to be implemented in the project. Well-known teaching methods try to create capabilities in this field, but they fail in reinforcing them in practice, which is commonly used for teaching in this field. Therefore, in this paper we propose ''PoV GAME'' a new way of ''play-to-learn''. We aim the reinforcement of some basic concepts about software engineering such as consistency in the information handled throughout the project, and the importance of viewpoints in the software product development. Subsequently, we analyze the results obtained after holding the game in several groups of students.

Keywords : Educational games; software development; learning; viewpoints; traceability.
