A Redesigned Pedagogy in Introductory Programming Reduces Failure and Withdrawal Rates by Half
It is well documented that introductory computer programming courses are difficult and that failure rates are high. The aim of this project was to reduce the high failure and withdrawal rates in learning to program. This paper presents a number of changes in module organization and instructional delivery system in teaching CS1. Daily out of class help sessions and tutoring services were applied...
متن کاملTeaching Introductory Programming
From the educational point of view, learning by mistake could be influential teaching method, especially for teaching/learning Computer Science (CS), and/or Information Technologies (IT). As learning programming is very difficult and hard task, perhaps even more difficult and extremely demanding job to teach novices how to make correct computers programs. The concept of design pedagogical patte...
متن کاملIntroductory programming by collaborative method “pair programming”
Learning programming skills and algorithmic way of thinking is a difficult task, particularly in the introductory programming courses. Many students find programming difficult because traditional teaching methods do not adapt well to the process of coding and problem solving, as it is a skill best learned through experience. In the paper we present an application of “pair programming”. It belon...
متن کاملIntroductory Programming: Examining the Exams
This paper describes a classification scheme that can be used to investigate the characteristics of introductory programming examinations. The scheme itself is described and its categories explained. We describe in detail the process of determining the level of agreement among classifiers, that is, the inter-rater reliability of the scheme, and we report the results of applying the classificati...
متن کاملComputability in an Introductory Course on Programming
The programming approach to computability presented in the textbook by Kfoury, Moll, and Arbib in 1982 has been embedded into a programming course following the textbook by Abelson and Sussman. This leads to a course concept teaching good programming practice and clear theoretical concepts simultaneously. Here, we explain some of the main points of this approach: the halting problem, primitive ...
