Enhancing Programming Understanding through Conceptual Schemas in Introductory Courses
This paper discusses an experience with programming courses using identification and formal representation of programming schemas and their potential for automatic analysis. A relation with Bloom’s taxonomy has been used to support the classification of these schemas. We intend to use these tools for classification as well as feedback routing with respect to source code produced by programming ...
متن کاملTesting our conceptual understanding of V1 function
Here we test our conceptual understanding of V1 function by asking two experimental questions: 1) How do neurons respond to the spatiotemporal structure contained in dynamic, natural scenes? and 2) What is the true range of visual responsiveness and predictability of neural responses obtained in an unbiased sample of neurons across all layers of cortex? We address these questions by recording r...

This study performs an exploration of the relationship between introductory IS textbooks and the body of knowledge represented by the set of “super classic” IS publications. Textbooks play a critical role of introducing the IS field to IS majors, describing what constitutes mainstream IS knowledge and communicating to other disciplines and their stakeholders the value of the IS field. The goal ...
متن کاملUsing Conceptests to Assess and Improve Student Conceptual Understanding in Introductory Geoscience Courses
Conceptests are higher-order multiple-choice questions that focus on one key concept of an instructor's major learning goals for a lesson. When coupled with student interaction through peer instruction, conceptests represent a rapid method of formative assessment of student understanding, require minimal changes to the instructional environment and introduce many of the recognized principles of...
