Gamifying the Teaching and Learning Process in an Advanced Computer Programming Course

摘要: These days, the conventional ways of teaching programming are not attractive to students. For instance, classical lecture and tutorial classes sufficient provides only one-way learning environment. Most students nowadays prefer have more engaging, fun, competitive, collaborative, instant feedback elements can be achieved using gamification increase students’ interest in computer courses. More specifically, we used three techniques one advanced course: pair-programming technique maintain collaboration between students, Kahoot! system provide an interactive quizzes instance feedback, finally Robocode platform teach Object-Oriented concepts a fun competitive fashion. We believe that gamifying process has great potential assist teachers engage new challenging way. This paper presents empirical study was carried out computer-programming course were mentioned applied. A subjective evaluation revealed appreciated techniques. The results also enhanced as well.
