Study design: Systematic Review
Abstract: Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) affect the daily lives of people who use them and knowing the social context, values, culture, and rules, among other characteristics inherent to a society is fundamental to building inclusive, safe, and sustainable technologies. To include the social context in the design of a system and transform it into sociotechnical requirements, Socially Aware Design (SAwD) emerges. Likewise, teaching computing professionals to obtain a more human view of technology, in addition to enabling Software Engineering (SE) practices, which is extremely important for the training of these professionals, teaching SE is a great challenge. This research presents the execution of a systematic mapping of the literature that sought to discover studies that apply SAwD in Education, the techniques, methods, processes, and artifacts associated with SAwD, and the levels and areas of education that use it. It also presents other areas and application domains that consider SAwD in the design and construction process of interactive systems, whose objective is to find and implement socio-technical requirements collaboratively for an inclusive and sustainable design. The results point to the growing use of the SAwD over the years, the importance of including the social context in the development of information and communication technologies, as well as gaps for further research on the application of the SAwD in Education, to propose guidelines for developing games aimed at teaching SE.
