This study examines detailed usage of online training videos that were designed to address specific course problems that were encountered in an online computer programming course. The study presents the specifics of a programming course where training videos were used to provide students with a quick start path to learning a new programming language in their coursework. The videos addressed com...

This paper provides a proposal for a tone-based programming/scripting language called MUSIC (the name is an acronym for Music-Utilizing Script Input Code). In a MUSIC program input and output consists entirely of musical tones. Computation can be done through musical transformations of notes and melodies. MUSIC can be used for teaching the basics of script-based programming, computer-aided comp...

Computer programming is viewed and experienced as a subject cognitively challenging to students well teachers. The aim of this study was determine the Information Communication Technology (ICT) teachers’ perspective towards teaching computer in order comprehend how ICT teachers perceive factors that influence their work. Forty-seven participated qualitative study. research method used an analyt...

The tasks of software development have traditionally been done by highly-skilled and well-trained computer programmers. A solid educational background is often required to understand programming languages used in the development. For people who are educationally disadvantaged, the task of computer programming seems remote. It might appear that there is no strong reason for those people to parta...

Although programming assignments in CS515 Data Structures course are reeective of data structure design principles, students' focus is geared towards learning speciic C++ programming skills. Balancing the mastery of fundamentals and the art of programming is still a largely debatable and debated issue in computer science education of introductory computer science (CS) courses. Most educators ag...

In university curricula, the subjects of programming and maths and logic tend to be separated. For instance, in the typical computer-science curriculum, mathematics and logic are taught according to the (dry) mathematical tradition, perhaps with modern concessions to help the less abstract minds. One sort of concession is to illustrate the implementability of selected mathematical concepts in s...
