Abstract

The traditional JAVA course examination is just a list of questions from which we cannot know students’ skills of programming. According to the eight abilities in curriculum objectives, we designed an assessment standard of JAVA programming course that is based on employment orientation and apply it to practical teaching to check the teaching efficiency of this assessment standard itself. Procedural assessment standard avoids disadvantages of traditional final examination. It puts emphasis on quality control of learning process. Through tracing and comparison of students during the last three years, procedural assessment has realized the unification of testing contents and curriculum objectives, improved students’ abilities and laid the foundation of employment for the future.

Highlights

JAVA Programming is a public elementary course in universities with strong practicability and operating property
There are still two problems: 1) Questions in online examination are set by course teachers
2) Due to the lack of unified standard of procedural assessment, scores of the same experimental course can be different graded by different course teachers, which do not develop advantages of procedural assessment

Summary

.Introduction

JAVA Programming is a public elementary course in universities with strong practicability and operating property. Study on innovative Java language teaching model and reform for other programming language reveals the importance of students’ ability to master (Stroustrup , 2002; Wu & Chen, 2013; Zhou, Wei, & Pei, 2014; Zhu, 2008). The writer designed a set of procedural assessment standard based on employment orientation, which was selected major of information management and information system in our college as study object and divided it into experimental group (in 2015) and control group (in 2013, 2014). Practice has proved that the satisfaction degree of students in experimental group is higher and their enthusiasm of participating in domestic major competitions is higher too. This laid a solid foundation of employment for the future
