An Analysis of Activity Theory with Creative Inquiry Movements in an Innovative Technology Classroom | Chapter 2 | New Visions in Science and Technology Vol. 3

This chapter of the book looks for examples of technologically enhanced educational environments where Activity Theory (AT) has been employed as a qualitative guideline to determine educational outcomes. The essay also includes a similar literature review for technology-enhanced classrooms that used Creative Inquiry (CI) movements as a guideline for educational data collection. The debate begins with an explanation of distributed cognition because AT and CI deploy methods like pivotal questions and cooperative systems. Case examples of effective use of AT and CI in technology-rich classrooms are provided in the conclusion, which shows the similarities and differences of the two techniques.

Strategies for Improving Computer Science Students' Academic Performance in Programming Skill | Chapter 4 | Current Topics on Mathematics and Computer Science Vol. 4

 For computer science students, programming agility is a must-have talent. On the other hand, both teachers and students have identified teaching and learning programming concepts and abilities as a significant obstacle. As a result, creating effective programming learning approaches and environments has become a hot topic. The study's purpose is to identify ways to improve how computer programming is taught to undergraduate students in the field of computer science and information technology. Because it is too abstract and requires superior analytic skills, computer programming is usually regarded as one of the most difficult subjects in postsecondary institutions. design of research A descriptive technique, actual student grades, and informal interviews with instructors were used in the study. According to the results of a widely accepted evaluation, 47 percent of students in the programming course perform poorly academically. As a result, it was determined that there is a need for improvement techniques that require preparation and implementation in order to improve students' motivation to study, academic performance, and education quality in the field of computer science. Recommendations were made that were both relevant and effective.
