Programming aids for the teaching of programming

This paper describes a system of library segments which have been written to help in the teaching of programming to undergraduates at Nottingham. Each segment contains input for a number of problems in a very specific area of programming, together with checks that the student has solved the problems satisfactorily. The system is implemented in Algol 68-R.     

Case-based teaching using the Laboratory Animal System for learning C/C++ programming

Teachers and students often consider learning programming a difficult pursuit. Face-to-face learning alone cannot provide effective teaching or efficient solutions for learning. A case teaching model can make students active in programming courses, even as it relies on solid learning theory and pedagogical strategies. This paper reports a study based on a case teaching model in C/C++ programming. The Laboratory Animal System (LAS) is a standalone case for management of laboratory animals. This paper includes an overview of LAS architectural design and user interface by C/C++ and presents the design, implementation, and evaluation of the model, as well as its implications for learning computer programming. The case method provides an interactive learning environment for students. Based on a survey of student feedback, students can learn C/C++ programming and gain knowledge more quickly and effectively using the case teaching model than through some traditional methods of teaching.     

基于案例的《C程序设计》教学探讨

传统的《C程序设计》教学方法存在很多不足,提出一种新的基于案例的教学方法。该方法采用"案例-理论和概念"的教学模式,具有突出实践性,体现真实性,实现互动性,发挥学生主体性等显著特点。案例设计是该方法的前提和基础,指出了设计案例时需注意的问题,并结合实例进行了说明。案例教学可极大提高学生学习的兴趣,增强学生在课堂上的参与感,改变原来课堂"满堂灌"现象,从而提高教学质量。     

On the complexity of some inductive logic programming problems

The bounded ILP-consistency problem for function-free Horn clauses is described as follows. Given at setE ⁺ andE ^? of function-free ground Horn clauses and an integerk polynomial inE ⁺∪E ^?, does there exist a function-free Horn clauseC with no more thank literals such thatC subsumes each element inE ⁺ andC does not subsume any element inE ^?? It is shown that this problem is Σ ₂ ^P complete. We derive some related results on the complexity of ILP and discuss the usefulness of such complexity results.     

On the design of a special-purpose scientific programming language

Observations on the design of the special-purpose scientific programming language SL/1 are presented. SL/1 is intended for applications programming of the Control Data Corporation Cyber 203, a very high-performance vector processor, which is mainly used for scientific computation. The language design has been heavily influenced by the hardware characteristics of this machine and the needs of the Cyber 203 user community. Various aspects of the design of SL/1 are discussed and measurements of their use are presented. In addition, unexpected similarities between the resulting design of SL/1 and the design of FORTRAN are examined and several reasons for the continued widespread use of FORTRAN are suggested.     

Using the programming walkthrough to aid in programming language design

The programming walkthrough is a method for assessing how easy or hard it will be for users to write programs in a programming language. It is intended to enable language designers to identify problems early in design and to help them choose among alternative designs. We describe the method and present experience in applying it in four language design projects. Results indicate that the method is a useful supplement to existing design approaches.     

Handin — a system for helping with the teaching of programming

A system has been implemented that enables students on a programming course to hand in programs for assessment without the need for printed listings to be generated. The system test runs all submitted programs using standard sets of data, and then facilitates the marking of these programs by the staff teaching the course. The implementation of this system is described, and the experience gained from using it is discussed.     

A distributed system for learning programming on-line

Several Web-based on-line judges or on-line programming trainers have been developed in order to allow students to train their programming skills. However, their pedagogical functionalities in the learning of programming have not been clearly defined. EduJudge is a project which aims to integrate the “UVA On-line Judge”, an existing on-line programming trainer with an important number of problems and users, into an effective educational environment consisting of the e-learning platform Moodle and the competitive learning tool QUESTOURnament. The result is the EduJudge system which allows teachers to apply different pedagogical approaches using a proven e-learning platform, makes problems easy to search through an effective search engine, and provides an automated evaluation of the solutions submitted to these problems. The final objective is to provide new learning strategies to motivate students and present programming as an easy and attractive challenge. EduJudge has been tried and tested in three algorithms and programming courses in three different Engineering degrees. The students’ motivation and satisfaction levels were analysed alongside the effects of the EduJudge system on students’ academic outcomes. Results indicate that both students and teachers found that among other multiple benefits the EduJudge system facilitates the learning process. Furthermore, the experiment also showed an improvement in students’ academic outcomes. It must be noted that the students’ level of satisfaction did not depend on their computer skills or their gender.     

Learning programming via worked-examples: Relation of learning styles to cognitive load

This paper describes an experiment that compared learners with contrasting learning styles, Active vs. Reflective, using three different strategies for learning programming via worked-examples: Paired-method, Structure-emphasising, and Completion. The quality of the learners’ acquired cognitive schemata was assessed in terms of their post-test performance. The experiment investigated variations in learners’ cognitive load, taking both the learning strategies and the learners’ learning styles into account. Overall, the results of the experiment were inconsistent. In comparing the effects of the strategies during the learning phase, the study found significant differences in cognitive load. Unexpectedly, no differences were then detected either in cognitive load or in performance during the post-test (post-test). In comparing the effects of the learning styles during the learning phase and the transfer phase, medium effect sizes suggested that learning style may have had an effect on cognitive load. However, no significant difference was observed in performance during the post-test.
