Tuncay, Nazime; Ekizoglu, Nihat – Online Submission, 2010
Experiencing FPBL (Free Project Based Learning) can develop effective content delivery for both teachers and students. With FPBL where students are free to choose their own projects they become intrinsically more motivated and self-confident. In this research study two groups (control group and experiment group) of students are used and two exams…

Renumol, V. G.; Janakiram, Dharanipragada; Jayaprakash, S. – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2010
Identifying the set of cognitive processes (CPs) a student can go through during computer programming is an interesting research problem. It can provide a better understanding of the human aspects in computer programming process and can also contribute to the computer programming education in general. The study identified the presence of a set of…

Goldman, Ken; Gross, Paul; Heeren, Cinda; Herman, Geoffrey L.; Kaczmarczyk, Lisa; Loui, Michael C.; Zilles, Craig – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2010
A concept inventory is a standardized assessment tool intended to evaluate a student's understanding of the core concepts of a topic. In order to create a concept inventory it is necessary to accurately identify these core concepts. A Delphi process is a structured multi-step process that uses a group of experts to achieve a consensus opinion. We…

Bornemisza, Imre; Boytchev, Pavel – Acta Didactica Napocensia, 2009
When teaching Geographical Information Systems (GIS) it is important to explain the theoretical elements, but it is also necessary to illustrate the basic functions with examples. To help students it is advisable to separate the teaching of fundamentals from the practical application of complex GIS software. A simple programming language like Logo…
