An Active Learning, Application-Centered Approach to Teaching the Object-oriented Programming's Synthetic Practice

摘要

In this paper we describe our experiences with reengineering an undergraduate course in object-oriented programming's synthetic practice. The course's learning outcomes require that students have good Software Engineering practices with regard to reusable designs and reusable components. To facilitate a learning environment,we have designed the course by applying practical project,assigned students groups by problem to work together throughout the entire semester. Furthermore, we have provided hierarchical instruction to meet individual learning style, provided a measure of evaluation and assessment which related to enhancing student learning. In this case, the students can study independently, obtain different instructing, talk freely in centralized practice time according to their task. Our results indicate that is very effective in improving the students' performances,which not only help to build a bridge between students and programmer, but also bring them up to a professional level at an end stage in the course.
