“…The result of this project was a collection of various Computer Science disciplines, topics and subtopics. It covered a hierarchy of classes and objects modeled in Protégé 1 [16] and, although it is available online [17], it does not seem to be updated. In particular, the authors indicate that they used different curriculum guidelines as a basis [13], for example, those of ACM/IEEE for Computer Science, Computer Engineering and Software Engineering published before the project [18].…”

Background: Software engineering has been formalized to a greater extent since 2000; this can be seen in the development of different bodies of knowledge. Objective: This work aims to contribute to organizing software engineering education knowledge, a sub-area in which formalization is still necessary.Method: We propose a process for the construction of controlled vocabularies. We instantiated this process twice; first, using automatic clustering techniques to analyze over 1,000 articles; and then, we focused on concepts related to teaching techniques and methods.Findings: We present a taxonomy with 60 terms organized in three facets at its highest level. The `teaching approaches and methods' category covers 26 terms with their definitions and most relevant references.Implications: The taxonomy can be used by teachers and researchers to understand the breadth of the field, to place their research initiatives in a broader context and to conduct more rigorous searches in the literature. We believe it is necessary to continue working on the taxonomy's expansion and also to carry out validation activities, if possible, including experts' validation.

In curriculum visualization, information visualization techniques are used to communicate the structure and content of a curriculum to the stakeholders, such as students, lecturers, and administrators. Curriculum visualization has recently drawn a lot of interest as there are growing demands to form larger educational units and to find savings by eliminating overlap. We have developed a novel approach to analyse and visualize the contents of a curriculum. Our software tool for curriculum visualization uses a fast heuristic to automatically lay out a curriculum diagram, provides tools to process the content information, and offers several coordinated views to visualize the curriculum contents and overlap. The approach and software tool have already been used successfully in one survey and two others are underway.
