Enhancing Programming Understanding through Conceptual Schemas in Introductory Courses
This paper discusses an experience with programming courses using identification and formal representation of programming schemas and their potential for automatic analysis. A relation with Bloom’s taxonomy has been used to support the classification of these schemas. We intend to use these tools for classification as well as feedback routing with respect to source code produced by programming ...
متن کاملConceptual Complexity and Algorithmic Information ∗
In this essay we propose that the fundamental philosophical concept of conceptual complexity is captured mathematically by the notion of algorithmic information content, and we discuss the complexity of physical and mathematical theories, the complexity of biological mutations, and the most complex system in biology, the human brain. These are steps in the direction of a mathematical philosophy...

متن کاملIntroductory Biology Students’ Conceptual Models and Explanations of the Origin of Variation
Mutation is the key molecular mechanism generating phenotypic variation, which is the basis for evolution. In an introductory biology course, we used a model-based pedagogy that enabled students to integrate their understanding of genetics and evolution within multiple case studies. We used student-generated conceptual models to assess understanding of the origin of variation. By midterm, only ...
متن کاملUsing Conceptests to Assess and Improve Student Conceptual Understanding in Introductory Geoscience Courses
Conceptests are higher-order multiple-choice questions that focus on one key concept of an instructor's major learning goals for a lesson. When coupled with student interaction through peer instruction, conceptests represent a rapid method of formative assessment of student understanding, require minimal changes to the instructional environment and introduce many of the recognized principles of...
