A Case Study to Evaluate the Use of i* for Helping Pedagogy Transparency

Pedagogy Transparency is a quality driven concept built from the junction of the new pedagogy movement, based on Vygotsky ́s social interactionist theory, and the notion of information disclosure. Pedagogy Transparency aims the disclosure to students of how they are being taught and why, as to improve their awareness about the learning process. We present a study conducted to evaluate three pedagogies strategies: a traditional one, one applying games, and another applying a combination of games and i* models. The results show that there are gains in applying new pedagogy strategies, in particular the one that is more akin to the concepts of Pedagogy Transparency and uses i* model as a way of information disclosure.
