The selection of an appropriate sequence of activities is an essential task to keep student motivation and foster engagement. Usually, decisions in this respect are made by taking into account the difficulty of the activities, in relation to the student's level of competence. In this paper, we present a dynamic model that aims to predict the average performance of a group of students at solving a...
Education professionals are always searching for new ways of promoting learning, either by modifying the pedagogical project of courses or by the adoption of new learning strategies. In particular, this paper presents the results of an effort in order to bridge the knowledge acquired by students within classroom in face-to-face classes with technical skills required in real life situations. The contribution...
Many institutions are offering online courses, as part of their regular schedule, to provide more flexible course offerings to students with the hope of some cost savings in the end. In this paper, we will focus on examining some of the students' ratings and comments that have been reported in student rating of teaching effectiveness (SRTE) surveys, for an online introductory programming course, during...
Some pre-service teachers struggle to understand the elements of learning design. A good grasp of learning design is important in designing effective learning activities. Subsequently authentic tasks, such as massive open online course (MOOCs) were used to expose the pre-service teachers to elements of learning design. A descriptive case study was used. In this case study the purpose was to investigate...
Automated assessment systems have been employed in computer science (CS) courses at a number of different universities. Such systems are especially applicable in teaching algorithmic problem solving since they can automatically test if an algorithm has been correctly implemented, i.e., that it performs its specified function on a set of inputs. Being able to implement algorithms that work correctly...
The objectives of this research were to design and develop the knowledge construction model based on the constructivist theories to support ill-structured problem solving process of industrial education and technology students, to study the ill-structured problem solving process of learners who learnt from developed knowledge construction model, to study learning achievement of learners who learnt...
This paper presents initial results of the Pan-European application of the Tuning methodology to the electrical and information engineering (EIE) subject set. The study is part of the EU funded EIE-surveyor project and aims to review the alignment of the perception of the content and level of the actual development of skills between current students, alumni, academics and EIE employers. Three types...
Formulating and delineating a problem and presenting a solid proposal for follow-up research is a challenge for any strategy or policy analyst. This paper describes how at TU Delft students in policy analysis and engineering management learn how to use a systems approach for exploring and analyzing complex problem situations. Their analysis should result in a clear and consistent problem framing,...
