Software engineering lecturers are faced with the teaching of concepts which sometimes not easy for inexperienced students to understand. Therefore, it can be useful consider and use non-traditional methods improve studentspsila learning. In this paper, we discuss problem-based learning how its understanding concepts. We present factors should exist in 'pure' then describe one authors used a class who were required understand information flows through software diagramming techniques,...
Education providers experiment with different pedagogical strategies that depart from traditional modes of delivery. Problem-based learning (PBL), which enhances and leverages practitioners' competencies skill-sets, is one such strategy. Transitioning to PBL can prove challenging for course design teams. This paper provides evidence-based insights into this transition by detailing how a management development programme 10 frontline managers transitioned pilot Drawing on the six stages...
Software Engineering graduates are expected to enter the workforce with both technical and soft skills. In addition, software quality is a topic that becoming increasingly important because of educational industry requirements. engineering lecturers need bring their research into classroom. Bringing all these together can pose lecturer dilemma not easily solvable. This paper presents how problem-based learning, pedagogical methodology popular in medicine other disciplines, be used accomplish...
Purpose This paper aims to explore how in Irish small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), problem-based learning (PBL) could possibly provide a paradigm which addresses two key research objectives: What are the needs challenges faced by SMEs? How PBL satisfy these through integrating formal informal learning? Design/methodology/approach An action methodology was adopted using Lewin’s (1994) cycle. In reconnaissance stage, surveys focus groups were conducted with purposive sample of SMEs...
For over ten years, the first author of this paper (IR) has been teaching Software Quality in traditional fashion where students are presented with materials through lecture and tutorial format. Her experience that concepts difficult to convey, particularly if do not have prior industrial experience. Additionally, standards topics which can become very boring teach learn. These difficulties resulted an uninteresting learning environment it is hard gauge what learning, any, undertaken by...
