Paolo Casari; Sabrina Maniero; Andrea Rosani; Federica Picasso; Anna Serbati – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2025
Contribution: An innovative teaching experience carried out at the University of Trento using team-based learning (TBL) in a large computer networks class. The impact of TBL on the students' learning and satisfaction was investigated. Background: Active learning pedagogies, including TBL, play an important role in enhancing higher-order cognitive…

Rocio Ramos-Rodriguez; Maria Calle; Garis Coronell; John E. Candelo Becerra – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2024
Contribution: Team-based learning (TBL) with a transdisciplinary (TD) approach is applied in one introductory programming course with different cohorts. The approach reduces the failure rate in the course. In addition, the approach helped students understand the application of programming to different engineering professional areas. Background:…

Marques, Maira; Ochoa, Sergio F.; Bastarrica, Maria Cecilia; Gutierrez, Francisco J. – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2018
Carrying out real-world software projects in their academic studies helps students to understand what they will face in industry, and to experience first-hand the challenges involved when working collaboratively. Most of the instructional strategies used to help students take advantage of these activities focus on supporting agile programming,…

Varney, M. W.; Janoudi, A.; Aslam, D. M.; Graham, D. – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2012
Following the success of summer-camp-based programs, a new program has been developed for in-school sessions focused around LEGO robotics to foster interest in STEM topics at a young age. The program has been implemented in a very diverse school, and preliminary results on the efficacy of the program are presented. (Contains 1 table and 6 figures.)

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.…
