Abstract:
From a constructivist perspective, learning is an active, cognitive process in which individuals construct their own knowledge by connecting new concepts with previous knowledge, skills, and experience that serve as points of departure. The purpose of this study is to identify and analyse misconceptions in Software Engineering to use these insights for higher education. Therefore, a systematic literature review as a secondary data accumulation as well as a primary data acquisition covering undergraduates are conducted, analysed, and compared. Concerning the SLR, out of 2,158 publications found, only 20 evidence-based misconceptions/beliefs/myths from 3 papers could be found. The undergraduate survey resulted in 69 misconceptions covering 13 interviews. Additionally, both approaches have been compared.
