Case study on the software-supported development of competences in Scenario-Technique

Abstract

The content of university teaching in engineering sciences, particularly in product creation, is characterised by the development of application skills. Changing working conditions require new teaching concepts that are oriented towards the needs of students and practice and consider the acquisition of soft skills. A key method to be considered in this context is the Scenario-Technique. In this paper, a one-day workshop based on a software tool for the Scenario-Technique is presented that focusses on competence development for Scenario-Technique in form of a learning concept. Based on a systematic literature analysis, existing approaches for learning the Scenario-Technique are identified and requirements for a subsequently developed software-supported Scenario-Technique workshop are established. Using a case study, the learning concept is validated in two test phases for comprehensibility, user-friendliness, and practical suitability. The result is a concept that enables practice-oriented learning of the Scenario-Technique.
