Description
Summary:Within this thesis, we present our suggestions why playful learning in software engineering education is useful to mediate generic competences in academic teaching. Therefor we identified competences which are addressed by playful learning and mapped them to demanded generic competences in software engineering. Due to the well compliance, we analyzed current implementations of playful learning and their design regarding the mediation of required soft skills. Based on the lack of effective implementation, we close our paper with an exemplary design for playful learning.
