Feedback-Enabled MDA-Prototyping Effects on Modeling Knowledge

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing ((LNBIP,volume 147))

Abstract

This paper describes the effects of a feedback-enabled MDA prototyping tool on the validation cycle for conceptual models. We observe the effects of such prototyping method on learning outcomes of novice modelers. The impact is assessed based on the quality dimensions introduced by Conceptual Modeling Quality Framework (CMQF), more specifically with respect to semantic quality being affected by modeling knowledge. The current work proposes an extension to the techniques introduced in previous work in particular, experimenting with the prototyping tool by novice modelers. A positive impact has been observed on the learning achievements of novice modelers improving both modeling and language knowledge.
