A Vision in Teaching Programming
Authors: , ,
Abstract: Teaching and studying programming is a big challenge for both teachers and students alike. For teachers it is always the matter of explaining to students how to explore the programming world with all its dimensions like syntax, coding, algorithms, etc in order to view it clearly and in the correct manner, noting that computer programs are part of our daily life. On the other hand students struggle when they study programming; either they are studying it for the first time or those who have an adequate programming background. In this paper we will focus on programming and on our experience (vision) in teaching programming at ALHOSN University in UAE, programming languages that are taught in UAE higher education institutes, the methodologies we are following in teaching programming for novice students, the main problems they encounter in learning programming and the problems solving techniques we adopt at ALHOSN University in order to make programming more fun than just passing a course. Also the paper will emphasize the tripod of programming (Thinking, Writing Algorithms, and then Programming), in a more scientific methodology.
