Question Driven Introductory Programming Instruction: A Pilot Study
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Dawar, Deepak – Journal of Information Systems Education, 2023
For most beginners, learning computer programming is a complex undertaking. Demotivation and learned helplessness have been widely reported. In addition to the subject's complexity, low in-class involvement has been linked to poor student performance. This work introduces a novel instructional technique called Student-Driven Probe Instruction…

Yabing Jiang; Kazuo Nakatani – Journal of Information Systems Education, 2025
This research answers the call for Information Systems (IS) faculty to actively embrace rapidly advancing AI tools in teaching. We experimented with redesigning learning activities in two courses, requiring students to use GenAI, to aid student learning and teach responsible use of GenAI. The results show that students in the experimental group…

Student Monks--Teaching Recursion in an IS or CS Programming Course Using the Towers of Hanoi
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Benander, Alan C.; Benander, Barbara A. – Journal of Information Systems Education, 2008
Educators have been using the Towers of Hanoi problem for many years as an example of a problem that has a very elegant recursive solution. However, the elegance and conciseness of this solution can make it difficult for students to understand the amount of computer time required in the execution of this solution. And, like many recursive computer…
