Book excerpt: Programming Languages: An Active Learning Approach introduces students to three programming paradigms: object-oriented/imperative languages using C++ and Ruby, functional languages using Standard ML, and logic programming using Prolog. This interactive textbook is intended to be used in and outside of class. Each chapter follows a pattern of presenting a topic followed by a practice exercise or exercises that encourage students to try what they have just read. This textbook is best-suited for students with a 2-3 course introduction to imperative programming. Key Features: (1) Accessible structure guides the student through various programming languages. (2) Seamlessly integrated practice exercises. (3) Classroom-tested. (4) Online support materials. Advance praise: “The Programming Languages book market is overflowing with books, but none like this. In many ways, it is precisely the book I have been searching for to use in my own programming languages course. One of the main challenges I perpetually face is how to teach students to program in functional and logical languages, but also how to teach them about compilers. This book melds the two approaches very well.” -- David Musicant, Carleton College
Download or read book Coding for Kids C written by Goldink Books and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-10-02 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you want to learn C++? and grab expertise in this language Have you investigated and desired to learn C++ advance coding? Do you want to offer your youngster a valuable, authentic tool for learning C++ and coding? If yes, then continue reading. This book is for Kids who wish to learn C++ programming but have no prior experience with other programming languages. Of course, knowledge of other programming languages or general computer skills can help you understand this tutorial better, but they are not required. It is also appropriate for those who need a refresher on the language's new features as a result of the latest standards. Many parts of this book give examples of how the newly obtained knowledge in the chapter can be applied. Before moving on to the next chapter, it is recommended that you read these examples and understand each of the code lines that make them up. Modifying and adding additional functions to the sample programs that you completely understand is a wonderful method to gain experience with a programming language. Do not be afraid to change the examples in this tutorial; that is how you will learn! How Is This Book Organized? Each new feature is introduced by answering the following three questions: What is this new feature? Why was it introduced into the language? How does it work? The goals of this book are to Present the subject step-by-step, allowing the reader to absorb each topic before moving on quickly. Use as few and straightforward examples as possible. This frequently inhibits me from tackling "real-world" problems, but I have found that novices are more satisfied when they can comprehend every detail of an example rather than being wowed by the magnitude of the problem it solves. Arrange the presentation of features in such a way that you do not see anything you have not seen before. Of course, this is not always possible; in those cases, a brief explanation will be provided. Maintain adequate focus in each portion so that the lecture time and the time between exercise times are reasonable. This not only keeps the audience's minds active and engaged during a hands-on lecture, but it also offers the reader a sense of success. Provide readers with a firm foundation so that they can progress to more difficult assignments and books I have avoided using any certain vendor's version of C++ since I do not believe that the intricacies of a particular implementation are as important as the language itself while learning it. All this and a lot more. So do not wait! Click on the "Buy Now" button and start your trip for effective learning if you want to become a coding master and surprise your boys with your coding talents.

Download or read book Threshold Concepts in Practice written by Ray Land and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-07-09 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Threshold Concepts in Practice brings together fifty researchers from sixteen countries and a wide variety of disciplines to analyse their teaching practice, and the learning experiences of their students, through the lens of the Threshold Concepts Framework. In any discipline, there are certain concepts – the ‘jewels in the curriculum’ – whose acquisition is akin to passing through a portal. Learners enter new conceptual (and often affective) territory. Previously inaccessible ways of thinking or practising come into view, without which they cannot progress, and which offer a transformed internal view of subject landscape, or even world view. These conceptual gateways are integrative, exposing the previously hidden interrelatedness of ideas, and are irreversible. However they frequently present troublesome knowledge and are often points at which students become stuck. Difficulty in understanding may leave the learner in a ‘liminal’ state of transition, a ‘betwixt and between’ space of knowing and not knowing, where understanding can approximate to a form of mimicry. Learners navigating such spaces report a sense of uncertainty, ambiguity, paradox, anxiety, even chaos. The liminal space may equally be one of awe and wonderment. Thresholds research identifies these spaces as key transformational points, crucial to the learner’s development but where they can oscillate and remain for considerable periods. These spaces require not only conceptual but ontological and discursive shifts. This volume, the fourth in a tetralogy on Threshold Concepts, discusses student experiences, and the curriculum interventions of their teachers, in a range of disciplines and professional practices including medicine, law, engineering, architecture and military education.

Download or read book Active Learning Theoretical Perspectives Empirical Studies and Design Profiles written by Robert Cassidy and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2019-07-11 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book represents the emerging efforts of a growing international network of researchers and practitioners to promote the development and uptake of evidence-based pedagogies in higher education, at something a level approaching large-scale impact. By offering a communication venue that attracts and enhances much needed partnerships among practitioners and researchers in pedagogical innovation, we aim to change the conversation and focus on how we work and learn together – i.e. extending the implementation and knowledge of co–design methods. In this first edition of our Research Topic on Active Learning, we highlight two (of the three) types of publications we wish to promote. First are studies aimed at understanding the pedagogical designs developed by practitioners in their own practices by bringing to bear the theoretical lenses developed and tested in the education research community. These types of studies constitute the "practice pull" that we see as a necessary counterbalance to "knowledge push" in a more productive pedagogical innovation ecosystem based on research-practitioner partnerships. Second are studies empirically examining the implementations of evidence-based designs in naturalistic settings and under naturalistic conditions. Interestingly, the teams conducting these studies are already exemplars of partnerships between researchers and practitioners who are uniquely positioned as “in-betweens” straddling the two worlds. As a result, these publications represent both the rigours of research and the pragmatism of reflective practice. In forthcoming editions, we will add to this collection a third type of publication -- design profiles. These will present practitioner-developed pedagogical designs at varying levels of abstraction to be held to scrutiny amongst practitioners, instructional designers and researchers alike. We hope by bringing these types of studies together in an open access format that we may contribute to the development of new forms of practitioner-researcher interactions that promote co-design in pedagogical innovation.
Download or read book Technology Supported Active Learning written by Carlos Vaz de Carvalho and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-07-14 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book promotes student-centered approaches to the learning process, allowing students to develop skills and competences that traditional, passive learning methods cannot foster. In turn, supporting active learning with digital technology tools creates new possibilities in terms of pedagogical design and implementation. This book addresses the latest research and practice in the use of technology to promote active learning. As such, on the one hand, it focuses on active pedagogical methodologies like problem-based learning, design thinking and agile approaches; on the other, it presents best practice cases on the use of digital environments to support these methodologies. Readers will come to understand and learn to apply active learning methodologies, either by replicating the best practices presented here, or by creating their own methods.
Download or read book Service Learning Pedagogy written by Virginia M. Jagla and published by IAP. This book was released on 2015-02-01 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Service-learning is a powerful method of teaching and learning that has been used effectively for more than two decades. Its efficacy has been researched in a variety of ways and this volume continues to expand that research base. In particular, in this volume, Service-Learning Pedagogy: How Does It Measure Up?, we explore three broad areas of service-learning research and practice that reflect broader discussions of the role of pedagogy in today’s educational reform efforts: Teacher Education, Crossing Boundaries: Deepening Relationships in Service-Learning and New Paradigms/Conceptual Frameworks. Many have called for more rigorous methods when researching service-learning pedagogy. That has been the major impetus for this volume. We seek to generate knowledge regarding service-learning pedagogy, while developing theories about it. We surface some elusive affective characteristics of the pedagogy, which we know has the power to produce transformational learning. To this end, the authors who have contributed to this volume effectively add to the growing body of knowledge in the field and help us get closer to understanding the extent to which service-learning does and does not measure up.
