This study investigated the effects of teaching students to program the computer with an instructional approach that emphasizes student collaboration and structured design concepts. Sections of a high school computer science class were assigned randomly to one of two methods of programming instruction (individualistic-traditional or team-structured). The results from analyses of variance revealed a significant effect in favor of the team-based structured programming methodology on students’ programming performance and attitude toward programming. In addition, there were significant positive correlations between student ability to design solutions to programming problems and total programming performance and attitude toward programming. The findings are discussed with respect to implications for programming instruction in high school computer science classes.

Deductive Computer Programming

Zohar Manna · 1988

Abstract : It is generally agreed that providing a precise formal semantics for a programming language is helpful in fully understanding the language. This is especially true in the case of logic programming like languages for which the underlying logic provides a well-defined but insufficient semantic basis. Indeed, in addition to the usual model theoretic semantics of the logic, proof, theoretic deduction plays a crucial role in understanding logic programs. Moreover, for specific implementations of logic programming, e.g. PROLOG, the notion of deduction strategy is also important. Computer program languages.

DIGITAL COMPUTER SIMULATION: COMPUTER PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES

Philip J. Kiviat · Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC) · 1969

The report discusses simulation languages, their characteristics, the reasons for using them, and their advantages and disadvantages relative to other kinds of programming languages. Simulation languages are shown to assist in the design of simulation models through their 'world view,' to expedite computer programming through their special purpose, high-level statements, and to encourage proper model analysis through their data collection, analysis, and reporting features. Ten particularly important simulation programming language features are identified: modeling a system's static state, modeling system dynamics, statistical sampling, data collection, analysis and display, monitoring and debugging, initialization and language usability. Examples of each of the four simulation languages, GPSS, SIMSCRIPT II, SIMULA, and CSL, are used to illustrate how these features are implemented in different languages. The future development of simulation programming languages is dependent on advances in the fields of computer languages, computer graphics, and time sharing. Some current research is noted, and outstanding research areas are identified.

Computer based instruction in computer programming

Paul Lorton, John Slimick · 1969

Since February, 1969, a computer based course in computer programming has been running at an "inner city" high school in San Francisco, California. Each day ninety high school juniors and seniors in classes of fifteen interact with a course designed to teach the fundamentals of computer programming for business applications. For fifty minutes a day each student is on-line with a computer located thirty miles away on the Stanford University campus. The purpose of this paper is to describe the rationale and the major components of the software system used to implement the project.

COMPUTER PROGRAMMING - AN ALGORITHMIC APPROACH: Algorithmic Programming

Nadire Çavuş · 2010

The main aim of this book is to teach the computer programming logic, which is the fundamental necessity for programming. A person can become a good programmer if he or she has learned the logic of computer programming. Computer programming is not a career that can be learned in a college, university, or by reading about programming. The only way to become a good programmer is to sit down in-front of a computer and write programs. The fundamental concepts learned from books should be expanded, more complex examples should be tried, and you should attempt to extend your limits so that the knowledge gained can be turned into valuable practical experience. Although there are numerous books on teaching programming languages, the numbers of books on teaching the actual logic of programming are rather limited, and are not in general more than a dozen or so. Thus, this book has been prepared for those of you who perhaps have little or no programming logic experience, but who want to become computer programmers. Simple and understandable language is used throughout the book since the aim has been to make it interesting, enjoyable, and teaching for the new comers into this field.
