Teaching Programming: The Shift from Conventional to Student-Centred Approach
Abstract
Educators are under constant pressure to update and adapt both their teaching materials and methods, and for today’s teachers the focus is on creating curriculum that is student-centred. Although almost all educators will acknowledge the necessity to put the needs of the students at the forefront, as well as to tailor delivery based on the individual requirements of the students, there is a tendency to believe that all curriculum must have this focus. This paper will suggest that this should not be the case, and that curriculum development for Programming subjects must begin in a more “traditional” approach, before blossoming into a student-centred, constructivist model.
