This paper focuses on challenges in mentoring software development projects in the high school and analyzes difficulties encountered by Computer Science teachers in the mentoring process according to Shulman's Teacher Knowledge Base Model. The main difficulties that emerged from the data analysis belong to the following knowledge sources of…

The main purpose of this study is to identify the levels of the necessity and applicability of the courses offered in the Departments of Computer Education and Instructional Technologies based on the views of the fourth grade and graduated students. In the study descriptive research model was used. The population of the study were final-year and…

Adaptive learning and teaching strategies are increasingly demanded in order to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the education process, but few intelligent education systems exist, which are dynamic and able to satisfy individual students' requirements. In an attempt to overcome these limitations, we have developed a multi-agent…

Troubleshooting a corrupted Windows operating system (OS) is a must-learn experience for computer technology students. To teach OS troubleshooting, the simplest approach involves introducing the available tools followed by the "how-to's." But how does a teacher teach his or her students to apply their knowledge in real-life scenarios and help them…

Purpose: The purpose of the research reported in this paper was to examine the potential usefulness of animated learning materials for supporting students with dyslexia in a UK higher education setting. Design/methodology/approach: An experiment was conducted with a set of 13 undergraduate computing students with dyslexia and a control group of 13…

The recent explosions of computer use and accessibility in both academic and work settings have made computer literacy almost mandatory, yet there are many individuals who are unfamiliar with computers. Previous research has partially attributed computer attitudes to past mathematics experience and gender of the user. This study empirically…

This paper discusses some of the ways one can study graphics on the Apple II microcomputer. Much attention is given to specialized use of software packages used in dumping graphics, and the saving or storing of binary files of graphic images. Knowledge of BASIC at more than a cursory level is required, but a step-by-step procedural outline is…

The application of theoretical models of instructional strategies to the design and the implementation of a computer-controlled instructional system and to the development of a practical course of instruction in computer programing is briefly described. (Author)

Reports on a study indicating that there are no significant differences in student learning when they are taught FORTRAN by the grammatical approach and the whole program approach. (IRT)

A review of the relationship of computer technology to the modern school system, and a suggestion for computer science courses that should be required for teacher or administrator certification. (RA O)

The Carroll Center for the Blind (Newton, Massachusetts) conducted a survey to locate and determine the effectiveness of computer training programs for the visually impaired. It found that existing programs need to encourage expanded services and better inform rehabilitation professionals. Names and addresses of five active, comprehensive programs…

Human resource managers must determine which computer skills and systems will be important to the future success of the department and develop expertise in those areas. (JOW)

Functional programming, in which the connection to mathematics is simple and direct, is described. A language such as Logo illustrates the relationship between functional programming and mathematics in more detail. (MNS)
