Checklist Approach for the Development of Educational Applications by Novice Software Developers

Abstract

Innovation and challenges are significant factors that lead to the improvement in technology involving various sectors, including the educational field. New methods and techniques have been introduced in teaching and learning among learners and educators. Modern technology generates an effective learning process that increases the students' interest and understanding of learning activities. Hence, software engineers need to develop high-quality educational applications that include the required elements such as learning materials and types of assessments. In addition, it should align with stipulated guidelines, timelines, budgets, and policies. Adaptation of a checklist approach in developing educational software can improve the quality of the software significantly. The checklist approach appears to be more effective for developers, especially novices with limited knowledge in relevant evidence-based principles. This study investigates the checklist approach for novice software developers in developing educational applications. A survey was employed to gather data from a group of respondents. This study used two types of sampling methods which were purposive sampling and Yamane formula. It shows that 89.19% of the respondents had understood and benefited from the provided checklist.

Within the teachinglearning process, assessment plays an important role because through various teaching strategies, students will achieve meaningful learning in which they will develop competencies, skills and abilities that will allow them to function in society [2].…”
