متن کاملVariation in Approaches to Lab Practical Classes among Computing Academics
As part of a wide-ranging phenomenographic study of computing teachers, we explored their varying understandings of the lab practical class and discovered four distinct categories of description of lab practicals. We consider which of these categories appear comparable with nonlecture classes in other disciplines, and which appear distinctive to computing. An awareness of this range of approach...
