Abstract Globally observed trends in aging indicate that older adults constitute a growing share of the population and an increasing demographic in the modern technologies marketplace. Therefore, it has become important to address the issue of participation of older adults in the process of developing solutions suitable for their group. In this study, we approached this topic by organizing a hackathon involving teams of young programmers and older adults participants. Below we describe a case study of that hackathon, in which our objective was to motivate older adults to participate in software engineering processes. Based on our results from an array of qualitative methods, we propose a set of good practices that may lead to improved older adult participation in similar events and an improved process of developing apps that target older adults.

Learning theories describe how people learn. There is a large body of work concerning learning theories on which to draw, a valuable resource of which the domain of software engineering educational research has thus far not taken full advantage. In this chapter, we explore what role learning theories could play in software engineering education. We propose that learning theories can move the field of software engineering education forward by helping us to categorize, design, evaluate, and communicate about software engineering educational approaches. We demonstrate this by: (1) surveying a set of relevant learning theories, (2) presenting a categorization of common software engineering educational approaches in terms of learning theories, and (3) using one such approach (SimSE) as a case study to explore how learning theories can be used to improve existing approaches, design new approaches, and structure and guide the evaluation of an approach.

         This research is motivated by empirical data, the potential for problems in the field with regard to the growing problem of propaganda in the spread of Islam. Deployment is meant as the spread of Islam through the study of classical texts, recitals in taklim to male and female students who live in boarding Bustanul Wildan as well as to the communities in surrounding and also spread through the typical tradition traditional pesantren like tahlilan, berzanji, Rajaban, Muludan and other events. Pesantren Bustanul Wildan be of interest to researchers as objects related research.          Research conducted at the Islamic Schools Bustanul Wildan. The paradigm used in this study is a constructivist paradigm (qualitative). constructivist paradigm, uses the case study method. The conclusions of this research are: First, Pesantren Bustanul Wildan in the spread of Islam that is the communication patterns of action, interaction and transaction.Keywords: Communication, Pesantren, Preaching Islam
