  4. Practitioner led approach • Critical Incidents (+ve or –ve) • Reflection on Practice & Pedagogy in light of Critical Incidents • Designing Change to Practice & Pedagogy • Implementing Change to Practice & Pedagogy

  5. Overall Pedagogy Based on Kolb, D. A. (1984) Experiential Learning, Englewood Cliffs, NJ.: Prentice Hall

  6. Student Performance pass

  7. Some Possible Problem Categories • "I Can't Program" (? Anxious) • “Can’t program, won’t program” (? Anxious &/or Given Up) • “I think Programming is boring/ not relevant therefore I’m bored” (? Not motivated/ Given up) • "I'm turning the handle, and doing every exercise with help from my peers and the demonstrators.... but I'm not getting it" (? Going through the motions)

  8. Ways of engaging • Hearts and Minds of Students • Hearts and Minds of Academics • Teaching Assistants (Ex- struggling students) • One-off lectures from Industry • Scaffolding (Vygotsky's Zone of Proximal Development): Relevant Material, Backup Material, Choice • Encouragement and increasing confidence
