Abstract

Patterns and pattern languages are mechanisms to describe best practices and good designs to capture experience in a way that it is possible for others to reuse this experience. Similarly, pedagogical patterns try to capture expert knowledge regarding the practice of teaching and learning. Issues related to teaching and learning have been increasingly discussed and studied, particularly computational learning applications. In this scenario, the existing educational applications, despite having several benefits and facilities, present problems and challenges that need to be better investigated. Therefore, pedagogical patterns can be a tool to assist in the design of new teaching and learning applications as well as to the improvement of the existing ones. This study aims at the identification of studies showing the use of pedagogical patterns as well as the problems solved when using these patterns. To do so, we have conducted a systematic mapping in which 35 scientific studies presenting 109 pedagogical patterns were analyzed. The results are relevant to outline the current landscape of the area and they also highlight discussions that may guide future investigations on the topic. (AU)
