Three decades of active research on the teaching introductory programming has had limited effect classroom practice. Although relevant exists across several disciplines including education and cognitive science, disciplinary differences have made this material inaccessible to many computing educators. Furthermore, computer science instructors not access a comprehensive survey in area. This paper collects classifies literature, identifies important work mediates it educators professional bodies.

Artificial Intelligence and its sub-disciplines are becoming increasingly relevant in numerous areas of academia as well industry can now be considered a core area Computer Science [ 84 ]. The Higher Education sector offering more courses Machine Learning than ever before. However, there is lack research pertaining to best practices for teaching this complex domain that heavily relies on both computing mathematical knowledge. We conducted literature review qualitative study with students...

The ability to transfer learning new situations lies at the heart of lifelong and employability university graduates. Because students are often unaware importance staff do not always explicitly articulate this expectation, article explores idea that metacognition (intentional awareness use awareness) might enhance development transfer. Our exploratory study includes results from a survey 74 118 five institutions in Australia, Belgium, UK, USA. data indicate many majority have clear...

As part of the CETL ALiC initiative (Centre Excellence in Teaching and Learning: Active Learning Computing), undergraduate computing science students at Newcastle Durham universities participated a cross-site team software development project. To ensure we offer adequate resources to support this collaboration, conducted an experience survey amongst teams content analysis their reports. This article reports on findings that investigation, shows success project was often determined by...

COMPUTER SCIENCE ACADEMICS' PERSPECTIVES REGARDING THE SHARING OF THEIR TEACHING-RELATED KNOWLEDGE: QUALITATIVE STUDY

This working group concerns the adoption of computing education (CE) in undergraduate computer science (CS) programmes. Such requires both arguments sufficient to persuade our departmental colleagues and committees, also curricular outlines assist delivery. The goal is develop examples outlines, drawing on any prior experience available.

As part of the CETL ALiC initiative (Centre Excellence in Teaching and Learning: Active Learning Computing), undergraduate computing science students at Newcastle Durham universities participate a year long, inter-institutional group programming assignment. Teams act as “virtual companies” collaborate cross-site to develop software products for real-world industrial clients. This paper investigates emergence autonomous adoption social networking technologies our students' communication...

Abstract Collaborative learning in class‐based teaching presents a challenge for tutor to ensure every group and individual student has the best experience. We present Group Tagging, web application that supports reflection on collaborative, group‐based classroom activities. Tagging provides students with an opportunity record important moments within work enables promotion of professional skills such as communication, collaboration critical thinking. After class, use tagged clips create...

From 2005, Active Learning in Computing partners Newcastle and Durham University (ALiC), part of the UK CETL initiative, introduced a collaborative learning model Software Engineering to level 2 Science students that reflects global industry practice by focusing on cross-site software development. Assessment for this effort focuses measuring students' development both technical transferable skills associated with being engineer. However, it is often difficult student perceive articulate what...

Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) is a challenging subject to study due its highly multidisciplinary nature and the fast change of advancing technology. Keeping pace with these changes requires innovation in pedagogical approach, such as student-authored video, which presented here. In case studies from two UK universities, students were assessed on video making. The results suggest increased student engagement satisfaction, well acquisition design skills taught HCI, not typically elsewhere...

The ability to transfer learning new situations lies at the heart of lifelong and employability university graduates. Because students are often unaware importance staff do not always explicitly articulate this expectation, article explores idea that metacognition (intentional awareness use awareness) might enhance development transfer.

In 2017 the number of individuals who identify as female in UK studying a STEM subject (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) further education is 35% where 94% their peers male choose to study. This decreases higher with 9% females compared 29% males choosing [1]. To address this issue there are many initiatives being set up recruit into courses. However lack research experiences students once they have started degree programme Computer Science.

Active Learning in Computing (ALiC) is the first Centre for Excellence Teaching and (CETL) project Science England. Funded by HEFCE, initiative seeks to prepare students realities of working their chosen field aligning learning experiences transferable skill sets with those sought today's software engineering industry. One way ALiC achieves this introducing cross-site, collaborative group-programming tasks into curriculum. Running over an academic year, approach encourages active interaction...

This paper describes a study of how peer assessment can be introduced to novice programmers support programming knowledge. In the field computer science, is not common approach in beginner courses as generally may have enough knowledge assess their peers effectively. Therefore, this contributes empowering and improving learning quality at early stages. Thus, study's aims are threefold: firstly, identify an appropriate category-based method, secondly, determine framework considered useful...

TEACHING EXPERIENCES SHARING AMONGST ACADEMICS IN SAUDI UNIVERSITIES: COMPUTER SCIENCE ACADEMICS' PERSPECTIVES

Existing knowledge management initiatives, in most cases, make it easier to create repositories for lessons learned. This is accomplished by employing the internet pattern search documents, utilizing web-based technologies facilitate community discussions, or providing support gathering of tacit through utilization group decision systems. However, despite fact that these solutions have been successful short term, generally acknowledged true solution and sharing organizational will be...

The goal of this effort is to aid the VTrans2025 Technical Committee in coordinating and prioritizing multimodal transportation projects. This project delineated process through which a developed implemented for Commonwealth Virginia. Specifically, also tested application That includes developing various forms reports, scoring based on criteria from goals VTrans2025, ranking multiple projects sets weights given criteria, finally implementation funding those Finally, Web-based interface help...

Computing: Ipsative Assessment (C:IA) is a tool developed to help ameliorate the issues potentially causing student dissatisfaction regarding assessment and feedback within UK higher education. Using Newcastle University as case study system was given small group of students trial. This poster discusses some causes that our faced with their feedback, how using we attempt reduce impact these issues.
