Chunking the Programming Process to Support Student Learning
Session 1B LS 14
Title: Chunking the Programming Process to Support Student Learning
Presenter: Dan Blier, Computer Science Curriculum Specialist, Plano ISD & DFW CSTA President
Session Description: Have you ever wondered why your students do not understand or ‘make sense of’ the programming process? How can we help students to better advocate for their learning needs? This session will explore various instructional strategies students and teachers can use to develop student understanding of programming elements. We will walk through six phases of programming to establish in-class support structures for students that help make programming more transparent. By breaking down the programming process, teachers and students can better identify the obstacles hindering the programming process. Attendees will leave with access to samples of active learning resources to use when guiding and supporting students through one or more of the phases of programming.
