They are effective in their assigned task because they focus on concepts and processes that are difficult or impossible to see without animation. They also use a minimalist approach making the animations as simple as possible, focussed on what is relevant, and interactive. One animation is a program that allows students to explore viewing systems, two are concerned with ray tracing transparent objects, and one visualises the formation of marble.","PeriodicalId":435916,"journal":{"name":"African Conference on Software Engineering","volume":"348 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133009808","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The tasks are considered important because they require students to apply their knowledge to new situations. However, often the tasks have not been considered as a vehicle that can direct learning behaviours in students. This paper aims to encourage academics to start thinking about the tasks they set, in particular it explores characteristics of programming tasks that affect student learning and understanding in a first year undergraduate course as part of a degree in Computer Science at Monash University. Attention is paid to features of programming tasks that led to three poor learning behaviours: Superficial Attention, Impulsive Attention and Staying Stuck. The data gathered for this study which describe the students' engagement in the tasks are provided by students and tutors. The paper concludes with a list of generic improvements to be considered when formulating programming exercises to minimise poor learning behaviours in students.","PeriodicalId":435916,"journal":{"name":"African Conference on Software Engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123696685","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The traditional business computer literacy subject that covers an introduction to hardware and software is no longer sufficient to meet the needs of many business graduates. There is ample evidence to suggest that businesses are only just realising the cost of these non-IS professionals developing applications. This paper discusses a new subject designed to provide students not only with the practical skills necessary to build a small-scale database using a 4GL but also to recognise the wider issues related to end-user development of applications. The paper explores the subject design, how the subject was delivered, whether the students achieved the learning outcomes/graduate qualities, and the current students' perceptions of the subject and its focus.","PeriodicalId":435916,"journal":{"name":"African Conference on Software Engineering","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125214673","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The traditional method of teaching makes a presumption that the student has little to contn'bute to the learning process. Instructions become directives as information is delivered in a continual stream of facts and figures; ¢ommaniccation is tmidh'ectionaJ with limited interactive learning. This poster presentation is a report of a prel/m/nary study on how puzzles (problem solving and lateral thinlcin~ problems) can be used as interactive learnin~ agents for subjects requiring problem solving. Puzzles were viewed as a natural extension of knowledge based systems and were inlroduced into the lecture format. The puzzles were seen as having two initial benefits. The first benefit is an increase in the participation and interaction of the students. Three to four puzzles are employed at various intervals throughout the lecture. The I ~ l e s are of three to five minmes in duration. According to Bligh [1] the imroduction of a period of change during the lecture (a period where either a short break or a change in the teaching method occurs) can have a positive affect on the level of performance of the students The second benefit is as a tool to create an environment of problem awareness. The puzzles used are a natural extension of the learning process in knowledge based systems rather than an intrusion into it. The p-~les require admini~Uation of a level of problem solving ability, lateral-th/nlcin~ ~'lcillg and ~ p ~ l e s complexity is consistent with the aimg and objectives of the subject.

One such tool, the datlab system, has been successfully employed in second year data structures courses and provides facilities for testing students' laboratory work, providing feedback to students, and assigning marks for completed tasks. While the system has proven successful, there is potential for significant improvement in the way that code is analysed and the quality of the feedback that is returned.\u0000This paper reports on new work investigating the use of evolutionary computation as a mechanism for generating appropriate test sequences. Our goal is to synthesize test sequences that efficiently uncover logical errors in student code, provide lecturers with models of common student errors, and provide students with more helpful feedback to use in locating errors themselves. We present encouraging preliminary results showing that significant improvements can be achieved using the evolutionary approach, and discuss some of the challenges in extending this approach.","PeriodicalId":435916,"journal":{"name":"African Conference on Software Engineering","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132271829","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
