Description

As part of my undergraduate research, I have studied different types of learning approaches, which are ways to enhance students’ knowledge of basic computer science skills. The three most common types of learning approaches are: verification-driven learning, test-driven learning, and problem-based learning. Each method brings something different, but valuable, to a classroom. They all differ from traditional teaching methods, and give students encouragement and advantages in their undergraduate career. All three of these learning methods can be effectively and efficiently implemented in the classroom. However, they are most effective when applied in the earliest CS courses.
