Abstract:
Computer programming is a relatively new phenomenon. Instructional methods in response to this new pedagogy have been many and varied. In the critical interplay between teacher and learner, the learners' perception of the instructional environment is perhaps one of the most important yet least understood variables. Little research has been devoted to understanding the learners' perceptions of the different instructional methods advocated. This study provides an insight into the students' perceptions of two instructional methods, and thus extends the knowledge base for decision making about lea

Abstract:
Nowadays, there are people working within the IT-industry without any major knowledge in programming. Some of them sometimes need to make changes that currently only can be done in the actual code. This project is about finding the best way for non-programmers to make changes in a data-model without having to change the code. The project is divided into three parts where the first two is about finding different ways to solve this problem and then evaluate them through expert evaluation and based on relevant theory. The third part is about taking the result from part one and two and develop it.

Intermittent computer users, generally unable to program, often need more flexibility than current applications can offer them. A first step to providing such flexibility is to consider the psychological issues underlying the users' needs and the communication of these needs. This thesis does this by exploring the possibility of "Automatic Programming" where users communicate their requirements and the computer generates programs to meet them.

It is hypothesised that the development of concepts in formal education can be understood through the ideas of non-literal language and conceptual integration networks.

The central contention is that this applies both to everyday ideas and to those presented to students in formal educational contexts, and that consequently such learning is bes

We consider the artist-programmer, who creates work through its description as source code. The artist-programmer grandstands computer language, giving unique vantage over human-computer interaction in a creative context. We focus on the human in this relationship, noting that humans use an amalgam of language and gesture to express themselves. Accordingly we expose the deep relationship between computer languages and continuous expression, examining how these realms may support one another, and how the artist-programmer may fully engage with both.

Pythy is one such online learning environment that aims to reduce software setup related barriers to learning Python while providing facilities like course management and grading to instructors. To further enable its goals of being beginner-centric, we want to integrate full support for media-computation-style programming activities. The media computation curriculum teaches fundamental computer science concepts through the activities of manipulating images, sounds and

Abstract:
This thesis is concerned with the principled design of a computational environment which depicts an animated view of program execution for novice programmers. We assert that a principled animated view of program execution should benefit novice programmers by: (i) helping students conceptualize what is happening when programs are executed; (ii) simplifying debugging through the presentation of bugs in a manner which the novice will understand; (iii) reducing program development time. The design is based on principles which have been extracted from three areas: (i) the problems that novices enco

Abstract:
The undergraduate Computer Science program at Virginia Tech is the largest in the Commonwealth of Virginia, of which a key component is ``CS 1044: Introduction to Programming'', and is typical of a first course in computer programming throughout the USA. While the student access to learning resources has improved considerably with the development of web-based assets, students are still expected to use the same sophisticated program development tools as are used in industry. The perceived complexity of the learning environment currently in use drives many women and minority students from the

Abstract:
Software forms around a requirement. Defining this requirement is often regarded as the hardest part of software engineering. The requirement however has an additional complexity as, once defined, it will change with time. This change of requirement can come either from the user, or from the rapid advances in 'computer' technology. How then can software succeed to continue to remain 'current' both in terms of requirements and technology in this forever changing environment? This thesis examines the issues surrounding 'change' as applied to software and software engineering. Changing requiremen
