Teaching Scenario-Based Programming: An Additional Paradigm for the High School Computer Science Curriculum, Part 2

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

This is the second part of a two-part series that describes a pilot programming course in which high school students majoring in computer science were introduced to the visual, scenario-based programming language of live sequence charts. The main rationale for the course was that computer science students should be exposed to at least two very different programming paradigms and that LSCs, with their unique characteristics, can be a good vehicle for that. Part 1 (see the previous issue) focused on the pedagogic rationale of the pilot, on introducing LSC, and on the structure of the course. Part 2 centers on the evaluation of the pilot’s results.
