Many students with little pre-college exposure to computer science (CS) share widespread incorrect ideas and a negative attitude towards the subject, leading to wrong decisions when choosing their major. In order to support these students, we developed a questionnaire built on Kolb's and Pask's learning style theories. Our aim was to create an instrument that allows to predict student performance...
We present the results of a study of learning types of CS students. In computer science education there seems to be a prevalence of visually oriented teaching methods. However, as the results of our investigation show, the learners may not actually benefit from this trend. This is valuable information in the context of including visually impaired learners in computer science classes - since these...
One of the biggest challenges of the computer science department at our university is handling the enormous heterogeneity of freshmen concerning both their previous programming abilities and their learning behaviors due to their biographical and social background. In this paper, we present the design and evaluation of a preliminary programming course based on the teaching method of Mastery Learning...
The Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities demands inclusive education at all levels, including free access to education for disabled people and leading to an increasing heterogeneity of classes for teachers. Most of the tools used to teach algorithmic thinking and basic programming are oriented visually and hence badly or not at all usable for visually impaired. In this paper we propose...
