| dc.description.abstract | Despite a widely-acknowledged shortage of software
developers, and reports of a gap between industry needs and software
education, the possible gap between students' needs and software
development education has not been explored in detail. In
their university education, students want to take courses and carry
out projects that clearly relate to their lives and their goals. This
paper reports on a quantitative study of 297 software development
students. The analysis of the results suggests that software development
education has a predominantly social relevance to students
and also has moderate personal and professional relevance. The
following approaches are recommended to improve students' views
of the relevance of software development education: use various
learning environments; pay special attention to female students,
students who did not have IT as a school subject, and students who
rate their own academic performance as low; update educators on
the latest developments; design programs to appeal to students and
to meet societal demands | en_US |
