Performance in an Introductory Computer Programming Course as a Predictor of Future Success for Engineering and Computer Science Majors
Abstract In most schools, introductory computer programming courses are required for computer science as well as all engineering majors. It is generally believed that the programming courses are not just about programming per se, but that they provide a forum for teaching precise and logical thought processes. Computer programming courses constitute a necessary background for computer science...
متن کاملLogic Programming for an Introductory Computer Science Course for High School Students
This paper investigates how high school students approach computing through an introductory computer science course situated in the Logic Programming (LP) paradigm. This study shows how novice students operate within the LP paradigm while engaging in foundational computing concepts and skills, and presents a case for LP as a viable paradigm choice for introductory CS courses.
متن کاملEvolution of an Introductory Computer Science Course: The Long Haul
University requirements for the material covered in introductory computer science courses have evolved over the years, and those courses must therefore evolve as well. In this paper, we discuss the 7-year evolution of such a course at the U.S. Air Force Academy. In 1995, the main thrust of the course was to develop students’ programming skills to support later programming activities, even for t...
متن کاملIntroductory Computer Science with Robots
Starting in the fall of 2005 our department began a large-scale effort to incorporate hands-on robotics in many of our courses, including our introductory computer science sequence. This followed the establishment of a departmental robotics laboratory and the purchase of a number of different robots. Our efforts include testing a variety of projects and surveying students about their satisfacti...
متن کاملA Virtual Lab Model for an Introductory Computer Science Course
This paper presents a model of a virtual laboratory for an introductory computer science course. The proposed model aims at solving a number of problems involved in the educational procedure of such a course. The model architecture consists of seven modules, each one corresponds to a specific topic of the course. Every module provides several different services in order to assist students to as...
