Teaching Software Design: A New Approach to High School Computer Science1
نویسندگان
چکیده
New approaches to teaching introductory computer science are sorely needed. Current instruction in programming has been shown to result in relatively poor understanding of the programming language under study, little development of problem solving skills, and little progress toward the central issues of analysis and design (e. g., Dalbey & Linn, 1985; Gorman & Bourne, 1983; Kurland, Pea, Clement, & Mawby, 1986; Linn & Dalbey, 1985; Mandinach & Linn, 1987; National Assessment of Educational Progress, 1988; Pea & Kurland, 1984; Putnam, Sleeman, Baxter, & Kuspa, 1989; Rist, 1986, 1989).

متن کاملA New Approach to Software Cost Estimation by Improving Genetic Algorithm with Bat Algorithm
Because of the low accuracy of estimation and uncertainty of the techniques used in the past to Software Cost Estimation (SCE), software producers face a high risk in practice with regards to software projects and they often fail in such projects. Thus, SCE as a complex issue in software engineering requires new solutions, and researchers make an effort to make use of Meta-heuristic algorithms ...
متن کاملDeveloping Reliable yet Flexible Software through If-Then Model Transformation Rules
Developing reliable yet flexible software is a hard problem. Although modeling methods enjoy a lot of advantages, the exclusive use of just one of them, in many cases, may not guarantee the development of reliable and flexible software. Formal modeling methods ensure reliability because they use a rigorous approach to software development. However, lack of knowledge and high cost practically fo...
