Title EMPIRICAL INVESTIGATION OF VALUE-FOCUSED THINKING IN SOFTWARE ENGINEERING EDUCATION

Author(s) MUHAMMAD UMAR SULTAN

Abstract The number of software development projects fail every year which is considered as a big threat to the software industry. Software developers are unable to complete their projects within the allocated time and resources due to a lack of their understanding towards “value-focused thinking”. Value-focused thinking is considered to focus the choices on the vital activities that must happen before solving the problem. To have successful software development, there is a need to build the understandability of value-focused thinking among the students during the education of software engineering. Based on the understandability of value-focused thinking practices, the students play an important role in the industry and deliver a highquality product within the resources and time. In this study, survey methodology is used. A questionnaire as an instrument is used. This study is set out to discover the concept of value-focused thinking in the software engineering education department. In doing so, this study provides the detail about the extent of awareness about valuefocused thinking among the students and faculty of the software engineering education department. Besides, three practices of value-focused thinking are explored and reported with the ways to diffuse these practices in the software engineering education departments. This research is providing a sound contribution to the software engineering body of knowledge by providing an approach that can diffuse values in the software engineering education curriculum. This research will help software engineering students to develop skills for applying value-focused thinking practices in software development.
