Outlines • Motivation • Objectives • Methodology • Experiments • Conclusions • Comments
Motivation • Database design entails considerable difficulty • Traditional method vs. Project based learning
Objectives • Integrate both perspectives of a project as an effective database learning method. • Organize, manage and control the development of project tasks and their deliverables by adopting a CMS tool. • Examine the results of two academic years using this method.
Methodology-project-based learning(PBL) • A learning method based on developing projects . • Students plan, implement, and evaluate projects that have real world application beyond the classroom.
Methodology-project-based approach • Project will be done by a student team following the ideas of PBL. • Using a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) and Gantt chart to divide a project into tasks.
Methodology-project-based approach • Students choose the database project topic according to their own interest. • Role playing: developer & client • Evaluation
Methodology-database software and CMS • Students need the use of two computer programs for their development: a database management system, and an XML editor • Approximately 100,000 lines per table were randomly generated
Methodology-database software and CMS • CMS: • Learning method description • Team management • Task management • Communication
Experiment-Research hypotheses Students that follow the project-based method will obtain better results than their counterparts with a traditional method The students that obtain excellent results preferred to follow the project-based method than the traditional one.
Experiment-Research hypotheses The project-based method will influence the whole student group The project-based method will influence the students that only follow a traditional method
Experiment–Results and discussion • The first hypothesis could be only partially supported
Experiment–Results and discussion • The second hypothesis could not be supported
Experiment–Results and discussion • The third hypothesis could be only partially supported
Experiment–Results and discussion • The fourth hypothesis could be only partially supported
Conclusions • Students that follow this method obtain better results than students that follow a traditional learning strategy. • The introduction of such a method in a student subgroup positively influences the whole group.
Conclusions further work: • Individual contribution & free-riders • Examine the effect of the PBL strategy in the long-term
Comments • Advantages • This paper find a new ways for the database course teaching, but the objectives mentioned in this article need more time to keep concerning.
