Abstract

In software engineering curriculums at universities, project-based learning often incorporates agile methodologies, such as Scrum, to teach students how to continuously develop high-value software. However, the students’ implementation of Scrum is frequently met with challenges. This study investigates the relationship between the development processes of Scrum and the competencies and attitudes of the students, arguing that the problem may be due to the compe-tencies and attitudes nurtured through K-12 education.
