Learning Style Models and Teaching of Computer Science
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper discusses learning style theories with a focus on the VARK model and Honey-Mumford questionnaires. The traditional views are described and a restatement in terms of abilities or skills is proposed. Then the learning style methodology is applied to teaching computer science. A hypothesis is made that most of computer science students share kinaesthetic/activist preference and teaching of computer science is dominated by the kinaesthetic culture.

متن کاملA social construction approach to computer science education
Computer science education research has mostly focused on cognitive approaches to learning. Cognitive approaches to understanding learning do not account for all the phenomena observed in teaching and learning. A number of apparently successful educational approaches like peer assessment, apprentice-based learning and action learning have aspects which are not satisfactorily explained by purely...
