Multi-method integrated experimental teaching reform of a programming course based on the OBE-CDIO model under the background of engineering education

Under the background of engineering education professional certification, the Outcome-Based Education (OBE) education concept of “output-oriented” has been paid more and more attention. The traditional experimental teaching of programming course often focuses on the teaching of theoretical knowledge, and lacks the cultivation of students’ practical ability and innovative spirit. Engineering education puts forward new requirements for the teaching mode of program design course. The experimental teaching of programming courses requires further reform and innovation to cultivate high-quality technical engineering talents with good social responsibility, teamwork ability, and innovative thinking ability. Guided by the theory of engineering education combined with the educational philosophy of Conceive–Design–Implement–Operate (CDIO) and OBE, this paper carried out the reform of experimental teaching of programming course among students majoring in computer science and technology and information security. This teaching reform aimed to better cultivate students’ practical ability, innovation ability, and knowledge-integrated application ability, considering the course concept, course design, course implementation, and course operation, and exploring the practice of teaching process reconfiguration, teaching content organization, and teaching method integration. This multi-integration experimental teaching reform was found to fully mobilize students’ learning enthusiasm, tap into students’ potential, greatly improve students’ comprehensive practical ability, effectively achieve course goals, and lay a solid foundation for subsequent professional course learning. This teaching mode has been practically applied in current experimental teaching and is widely recognized by students, providing a reference for improving teaching quality.

Research on the Civics Teaching of Programming Courses in Colleges and Universities

At present, the programming courses in colleges and universities focus on theoretical and practical teaching, and the integration of curriculum thinking and politics with teaching content is low, which cannot shape students' values and cultural outlook in the process of teaching professional courses. In response to this problem, this paper proposes a systematic framing method of curriculum thinking and politics cases under mixed teaching mode based on project-based teaching of college programming courses, which can effectively improve the teaching effect and promote students' all-round development by tapping the thinking and politics elements.

Research on Construction and Practice of Precision Teaching Classroom for University Programming Courses

Facing the challenges of programming courses teaching in university, this study constructs a precision teaching classroom for programming courses that integrates precision teaching theory. Firstly, this paper analyzes the realization conditions for precision teaching in programming courses, then designs the implementation process of precision teaching including three teaching phases and five teaching links, and finally carried out teaching practice in C Language Programming course. The practice results showed that in the precision programming teaching classroom, teacher-student interactions were more frequent and students had higher programming learning efficiency than in ordinary programming teaching classroom. Compared with the control class, students in the experimental class were more capable of grasping programming knowledge and had better programming problem-solving abilities, and most of them were highly satisfied with teaching design of precision teaching classroom for C Language Programming. Precision programming teaching classroom constructed by this research provides a more optimized and effective teaching method for university programming teaching. On the other hand, this study provides a practical case for the integration and application of precision teaching theory and university curriculum teaching.

Discussion on the Design of Ideological and Political Course and Online Teaching Scheme of Programming Language Course

The ideological and political teaching of programming language course has certain characteristics in content, process and form. The teaching goal takes moral cultivation as the fundamental task to lead knowledge learning and ability training. It requires to establish a correct three outlook, go together and form a synergistic effect. To implement the fundamental task of establishing morality and cultivating people, we must integrate value shaping, knowledge imparting and ability cultivation. For the construction of "ideological and political curriculum" of programming language project-based teaching, we should thoroughly clarify the teaching content of programming language courses, combine the characteristics of programming language courses, deeply tap the ideological and political elements of programming courses, reasonably and effectively integrate into the teaching of programming courses, so as to achieve the educational effect of moistening things silently.

Application of Jupyter Notebook in the Teaching of Programming Courses (Python)

In the teaching of computer language and programming courses, PowerPoint still dominate the classroom teaching process. Teachers usually employ PowerPoint(PPT) courseware to teach grammar and related content, and screenshots of code segments and running results are given in PPT. The disadvantage of this method is that students cannot see the actual program execution process and the program design process, so it is not easy for the students to understand the teaching content and review after class, it is even impossible for the students to understand how to write programs from scratch. Aiming at the problems of using PPT to teach programming courses in domestic colleges and universities, A new software named “Jupyter Notebook” is used to reform the teaching method. The method of teaching reform is introduced, and the benefits of the new approach is described. Compared to traditional PPT, the advantage of Jupyter notebook at different learning stages is summarized. This method is very suitable for the teaching of programming courses such as Python.

Causes of Failure of University Students in Computer Programming Courses : The Case of Wachemo University

Computer programming courses are among the important components of the curriculum to be studied, not only in the school of Computing and Informatics, but also in most of the field including Natural Sciences, Mathematics, and Engineering Science departments. In this research, a study was conducted to investigate and explore the views of students for the failure and difficulties they faced in learning fundamental programming courses. There are many factors that influence the high rate of failure of students in computer programming courses. This paper focuses on the teaching and learning methodologies and strategies that are implemented in teaching of programming courses. This is a major factor for consideration; hence an investigation into the causes of failure of students in computer programming courses from the learner perspective with regard to the teaching methodology used by teachers to teach these courses is relevant and very important concept. Computer programming courses form part of the core concentration areas for students especially studying in school of computing and informatics as an undergraduate degree program. Computer programming students are expected to prove capabilities in the principles of programming and logic that are being taught in the course; even though some of these concepts are highly intellectual and multifaceted. Their opinions to the usefulness of the teaching methods being implemented in computer programming courses were required for. The needs and concerns about the teaching and learning methods are highlighted in the survey and discussed thereby leading to the making of suggestions about the ways to improve the teaching and learning methods that are used in computer programming courses in order to advance understanding of computer programming, when studied by students thereby minimizing failure rates of those students.

The Application of Flipped Classroom in the Teaching of Programming Courses

The emergence of the flipped classroom provides a new approach to college teachers, but different types of courses have their own difficulties in the implementation process of flipping the classroom teaching due to different teaching objectives between the courses. The most important objective is how to play the role of flipped classroom, to overcome the defects of the traditional curriculum for presenting unique advantages, to increase student satisfaction of the curriculum and improve the learning ability of students? This paper is based on years of teaching experience, combined with the specific practice of flipped classroom in recent years for the higher vocational programming courses "advanced interactive animation" teaching as an example, aimed to study the empirical research on the application of flipped classroom teaching mode in higher vocational courses in the teaching of programming courses in term of analysis of the production of MOOC, processes of teaching implement, the students' satisfaction and influence on the students' test scores.
