  Purpose: Software modelling and Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) is
traditionally studied from a technical perspective. However, one of the core
motivations behind the use of software models is inherently human-centred.
Models aim to enable practitioners to communicate about software designs, make
software understandable, or make software easier to write through
domain-specific modelling languages. Several recent studies challenge the idea
that these aims can always be reached and indicate that human factors play a
role in the success of MDE. However, there is an under-representation of
research focusing on human factors in modelling. Methods: During a GI-Dagstuhl
seminar, topics related to human factors in modelling were discussed by 26
expert participants from research and industry. Results: In breakout groups,
five topics were covered in depth, namely modelling human aspects, factors of
modeller experience, diversity and inclusion in MDE, collaboration and MDE, and
teaching human-aware MDE. Conclusion: We summarise our insights gained during
the discussions on the five topics. We formulate research goals, questions, and
propositions that support directing future initiatives towards an MDE community
that is aware of and supportive of human factors and values.
