Replicación MIND#2 (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jss.2016.06.104)
replicación Interna basada en MIND#1 el experimento original
Estudio original Objetivo: To study whether mindfulness practice (cause) improves productivity in conceptual modelling (effect) on Software Engineering students (population).
Descripción: Taking as a sample population the students of the 2nd year ISEIS course of the Software Engineering Degree at the University of Seville (sample), one group (experimental group) attended 10-minute mindfulness sessions for 4 weeks, 4 days per week (experimental group treatment), while a second group (control group) attended a public speaking workshop as a placebo (control group treatment). Students completed two conceptual modelling exercises, one before and one after the treatment (pre-post experimental design), which were scored against a reference solution (measurement procedure). The performance of both groups was compared in terms of quality (similarity to the reference solution) and productivity (similarity in percentage per unit time)(metrics).
Lugar and Fecha El experimento base se llevó a cabo en ETSII of University of Seville en the first semester of the 2013-2014 academic year.
