A DECONSTRUCTIVIST METHODOLOGY FOR SOFTWARE ENGINEERING

Doris Allhutter

2010

Abstract

Grounded within qualitative research on software engineering and science and technology studies, the paper introduces a deconstructivist methodology for software engineering. Software engineering is a socio-technological process of negotiation embedded in organizational and societal contexts. Thus, social dimensions such as hidden assumptions of use contexts (e.g. based on diversity aspects such as age, gender, class or cultural diversity) implicitly inform development practices. To foster reflective competences in this area, the paper suggests using deconstruction as a tool to disclose collective processes of meaning construction. For this purpose, the idea of introducing a deconstructive process to software engineering is linked to approaches of practice-based, situated and context-sensitive learning.
