Datasets of "Framework to help Software Engineering students develop hard and soft skills"

Hard and soft skills are essential for software professionals to perform their daily activities successfully. Thus, professionals must develop such skills from undergraduate onwards. In this context, although there are related works in the literature, no results were found that were aimed at supporting teachers in developing students' soft skills in the classroom. Therefore, this work provides a framework called FraSSD – Framework for Soft Skills Development, based on the active methodologies PBL - Project Based Learning and role-play and on some gamification elements, to help teachers in the challenge of contemplating hard and soft skills in a more meaningful teaching-learning process for students enrolled in Software Engineering subjects. As a proof of concept, FraSSD was applied in two Software Engineering classes. The results were compared through statistical testing, showing an increase in the level of development of soft skills worked on, emphasizing organization, creativity, and teamwork in Class 1 and teamwork, creativity, and leadership in Class 2.
