Educational Software Repository: A Conceptual Development Approach
Main Article Content
Abstract
The conceptualization of repositories has diversified widely based on their contextual and disciplinary application. In this diversification, there is no specific definition for Educational Software Repositories (ESR). The objective of this documentary research was to develop a concept that would make it possible to specify what an ESR is. The Conceptual Mapping method was applied, which is a critical analysis procedure in four phases: 1) Search for documents relevant to the problem; b) Definition of the criteria for inclusion and exclusion of documents; 3) Data analysis with 8 categories: historical development, notion, categorization, classification, differentiation, exemplification, theorization and characterization; 4) Interpretation of the results under the educational perspective of software. The results show 11 types of repositories: Digital, Institutional, Aggregator, Thematic, Digital Educational Material, Administrative Documents, Learning Objects, Software Components and/or Software Assets, National and Data. The most important finding suggests that an ESR is a digital, institutional and thematic repository, with open access and interdisciplinary application, which stores engineering processes for the development of agile software, components or assets, used in the construction of educational resources and learning objects specifically in the pedagogical area.
