Implications of MBTI in Software Engineering Education
This work addresses the problem of personalized teaching for software engineering students, but it appears incremental as it adapts existing MBTI concepts to this domain.
The authors tackled the challenge of addressing individual learning differences in software engineering education by developing teaching practices inspired by the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), aiming to cater to diverse personality styles without specifying concrete numerical results.
A number of approaches exist to aid the understanding of individual differences and their effects on teaching and learning. Educators have been using the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) to understand differences in learning styles and to develop teaching methods that cater for the various personality styles. Inspired by the MBTI, we developed a range of practices for effective teaching and learning in a software engineering course. Our aim is to reach every student, but in different ways, by devising various teaching approaches.
