On COVID-19 Pandemic-Induced Attitudinal Changes in Software Engineering Teaching and Learning

Abstract

This note outlines certain notable changes observed in the attitudes towards and approaches in teaching and learning software engineeringrelated courses following the end of the COVID-19 pandemic. It views these changes from the interrelated perspectives of the primary stakeholders of software engineering education (SEE), namely administrators, educators, and students. It seems that while some changes may be ephemeral and transient, the others may be essential and permanent. From a students' perspective, the transformation of SEE appears to be generally for the better.
