【 摘 要 】

Requirements Engineering (RE) is the most difficult stage of software development for students to learn and forlecturers to teach. Requirements Engineering Education (REE) problems are reported in several studies. Theaim of this paper is to verify that REE problems presented in the literature really exist in practice especially inMalaysia and in Pakistan through an investigation study, and to provide suggestions on appropriatepedagogical approaches to be used in RE courses. Furthermore, we provided a list of strategicrecommendations for RE course implementation and offered a direction framework that can assist in planningfor effectual RE course execution. An investigation was performed on undergraduate software engineeringstudents from the universities of Malaysia and Pakistan using a questionnaire. Results showed that manyproblems reported by students are quite similar to those presented by researchers in the literature. The studentsperceive RE as an important course and the problems reported by students that are less investigated must beexplored in future REE research, and their interest in RE needs to be developed so that they become motivatedto choose this as a profession. The REE problems presented in integrated view are then mapped with the REEpedagogical approaches suggested by researchers. Finally, the paper closes with a direction framework thatcan help to effectively deliver RE course and address REE problems.
