Patterns for Teaching Software in Classroom.

Abstract

This paper presents pedagogical patterns for the general context of teaching software concepts in classroom settings. These patterns are targeted at people who teach other people, whether in industry or at universities. The patterns are presented in Alexandrian Form, in conformance with the patterns of the Pedagogical Patterns Project. Four pedagogical patterns have been identified: SHOW IT RUNNING, SHOW PROGRAMMING, MAKE IT THEIR PROBLEM and MAKE THEM MAKE IT THEIR PROBLEM.
