| description | Curriculum design is the systematic process of establishing how a learning process is designed, developed, supported, and delivered. This process is supported by software tools which can help improve curriculum alignment and facilitate the design of courses or programs. This article aims to analyze software proposals for curriculum design support that consider using models, methods, and techniques in software development. To do this, a systematic mapping of studies was conducted, including six research questions. This study includes 45 articles published from 2011 to 2022. The results indicate that 60% use some model, method, or technique in software development. Most software uses some models, such as ontologies, UML diagrams, or IMS-1D models. Although most articles use some model, method, or technique, there is a lack of use of software engineering models such as UML diagrams, which are standard in the software industry and research. |
