Abstract :
Even though software engineering education embraces the teaching of software measurement topics, there is a lack of guidelines to address this teaching in undergraduate programs. In order to facilitate the education of these topics at the undergraduate level, a set of studies was conducted since 2010 and an educational framework is being developed based on the opinions of experts in the field. The framework provides guidelines for university teachers and instructors to facilitate the teaching and learning process of software measurement for undergraduate students or beginners in the field. The structure of this framework can be applied in other educational fields.
