dos Santos Lopes, Maísa Soares; Gomes, Iago Pacheco; Trindade, Roque M. P.; da Silva, Alzira F.; de C. Lima, Antonio C. – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2017
Remote robotics laboratories have been successfully used for engineering education. However, few of them use mobile robots to to teach computer science. This article describes a mobile robot Control and Programming Environment (CPE) and its pedagogical applications. The system comprises a remote laboratory for robotics, an online programming tool,…

Hwang, Wu-Yuin; Su, Jia-Han – Interactive Learning Environments, 2012
In this study, a Surface Computer Supported Cooperative Work paradigm is proposed. Recently, multitouch technology has become widely available for human-computer interaction. We found it has great potential to facilitate more awareness of human-to-human interaction than personal computers (PCs) in colocated collaborative work. However, other…

Pedagogy and Processes for a Computer Programming Outreach Workshop--The Bridge to College Model
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Tangney, Brendan; Oldham, Elizabeth; Conneely, Claire; Barrett, Stephen; Lawlor, John – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2010
This paper describes a model for computer programming outreach workshops aimed at second-level students (ages 15-16). Participants engage in a series of programming activities based on the Scratch visual programming language, and a very strong group-based pedagogy is followed. Participants are not required to have any prior programming experience.…

An Exploratory Study on the Perspectives of Prospective Computer Teachers following Project-Based Learning
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Karaman, Selcuk; Celik, Suat – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2008
This study investigates perceptions of 29 prospective teachers about a course based on Project-Based Learning (PBL) approach. The course, "Authoring Languages in PC Environment (B-320)" lasted in 14 weeks in fall semester of 2004-2005. In this course each prospective teacher carried out a project that requires designing and developing courseware…

The Dissemination of Pedagogical Patterns
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Bennedsen, Jens – Computer Science Education, 2006
Pedagogical patterns have been around since 1995, but several authors claim their impact is limited. However, these claims are based on authors' own observations and not on methodical evaluations of the use and dissemination of pedagogical patterns. This claim is in contrast to the vision of the creators of pedagogical patterns--they think…

Using Blended Learning to Facilitate the Mathematical thought Processes of Primary School Learners in a Computer Laboratory: A Case Study in Calculating Simple Areas
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Naidoo, N.; Naidoo, R. – Journal of College Teaching & Learning, 2007
Primary school learners' first encounters with mathematics in a traditional learning environment often create lifelong "math phobia."(Papert 1980) The situation in a country emerging from an oppressive education system designed to educationally disempower the majority of the population is much worse. The typical scenario in a previously…
