We are pleased to announce the new Education & Training track at 31st International Working Conference on Requirements Engineering Foundation for Software Quality (REFSQ) 2025, which aims to provide a platform for industry practitioners, researchers, education and training professionals, and academics to share their best practices, tools, and insights on requirements engineering education and training. This track also ofers an open space for fruitful discussions on challenges and opportunities in the field. The primary objective of this track is to foster an exchange among participants, facilitating the dissemination of emerging trends and best practices. In doing so, we aim to enhance competencies in requirements engineering and support the continuous improvement of education and training methods. For our program we accepted five submissions: one extended abstracts and four full papers where the extended abstract is only presented at the workshop and not included in the proceedings. Extended abstract: EA1 Alicia M. Grubb. Towards Requirements For Learning: Lessons from the Learning Sciences The program began with a session featuring the presentation of three full papers: FP1, FP3, and FP4. In the next session, the extended abstract EA1 and the full paper FP3 were presented, followed by a panel discussion on teaching soft skills in requirements engineering. The final session involved group work, where participants collaborated to develop educational materials for requirements engineering courses, focusing on the integration of large language models.
We warmly thank all the reviewers of our Program Committee (PC), who helped in the selection of the papers by providing timely and accurate reviews. The PC members of the Education and Training Track are:
