  1. A Student-centred Approach to Implement an Intervention for Teaching Programming at a Distance Mokateko Portia Buthelezi

  2. Overview • Teaching programming at a distance • Computer science programming pass rates • Student-centred intervention The 13th International Conference for Internet Technology and Secured Transactions (ICITST-2018)

  3. Teaching Programming at a Distance • Just in time and just in context learning; • Electronic learning (e-learning) pedagogy; • Benefits of peer programming lost • Intervention necessary to: • improve learning experience; • increase pass rates; The 13th International Conference for Internet Technology and Secured Transactions (ICITST-2018)

  4. ProgrammingPass Rates • Computer programming is difficult to teach post high-school [1; 2]. • Programming courses experience high failure rates worldwide [3]. • Global problem. • Teaching programming online Technology Student Learning Teaching The 13th International Conference for Internet Technology and Secured Transactions (ICITST-2018)

  5. Student-centred Intervention Proposed Student-centred intervention (synthesised by researcher) The 13th International Conference for Internet Technology and Secured Transactions (ICITST-2018)

  6. Conclusion and Future Work • The student centered intervention • Yielded an improved pass rate; • More studies should test the proposed framework to: • improve student learning experiences and; • pass rate. The 13th International Conference for Internet Technology and Secured Transactions (ICITST-2018)
