Higher education in South Africa must be transformed. An important dimension that can be addressed in the short term, yet will still have a significant positive impact, is the enrichment of courses with relevant content that resonates with students, i.e. to contextualise the study material. This paper focuses on enrichment of a specific introductory information technology (IT) programming course that is taught to first year students at a South African university. This course is problematic as the students fail to grasp the abstract programming concepts that are crucial for higher-order learning. They can then not apply these concepts practically;this is crucial for them so that they can become good programmers. We applied the soft systems methodology, as a reflective practice, to explore the perspectives of the students, so as to enable incorporation thereof in the teaching material and as such contextualise the material. The outcome of this study is contextualised examples and metaphors relating to the key abstract concepts that will be applied in class.

Mobile devices are increasingly being utilized for learning due to their unique features including portability for providing ubiquitous experiences. In this paper, we present PyKinetic, a mobile tutor we developed for Python programming, aimed to serve as a supplement to traditional courses. The overarching goal of our work is to design coding activities that maximize learning. As we work towards our goal, we first focus on the learning effectiveness of the activities within PyKinetic, rather than evaluating the effectiveness of PyKinetic as a supplement resource for an introductory programming course. The version of PyKinetic (PyKinetic_DbgOut) used in the study contains five types of learning activities aimed at supporting debugging, code-tracing, and code writing skills. We evaluated PyKinetic in a controlled lab study with quantitative and qualitative results to address the following research questions: (R1) Is the combination of coding activities effective for learning programming? (R2) How do the activities affect the skills of students with lower prior knowledge (novices) compared to those who had higher prior knowledge (advanced)? (R3) How can we improve the usability of PyKinetic? Results revealed that PyKinetic_DbgOut was more beneficial for advanced students. Furthermore, we found how coding skills are interrelated differently for novices compared to advanced learners. Lastly, we acquired sufficient feedback from the participants to improve the tutor. © 2018, The Author(s).

Many studies confirm the significance of programming skills in the ever-evolving cybersecurity field and its know-how plays a pivotal role in safeguarding critical systems and data. This paper presents a preliminary finding from a pilot study that explores the potential benefits of tailoring a basic Python programming course to cater specifically to the educational requirements of budding cybersecurity professionals. The primary objective is to explore the potential advantages of adapting a conventional programming course to incorporate cybersecurity-focused elements. The pilot implementation of a course went through a series of modifications embedding cybersecurity-centric motivational content, increased emphasis on code analysis skills, hands-on approach to encompass contemporary tools and cybersecurity challenges. The pilot was carried out over a single semester with 36 participants, and its impacts were assessed through the analysis of student feedback, performance metrics, educator observations, and empirical experiences. Preliminary findings indicate a noticeable rise in students' interest in the course, study motivation, and enhanced overall learning experiences. However, the study reveals to a lesser extent improvement in academic performance. These findings contribute to the ongoing dialogue regarding programming education in the cybersecurity domain, emphasizing the potential of tailoring programming courses to align with specific needs by incorporating cybersecurity-focused elements and emphasizing relevant skills, such as code analysis and hands-on experience with contemporary tools and challenges, programming courses can become more valuable and engaging for students seeking cybersecurity careers.

This paper performs a verification of some innovative training methods recently proposed by the authors for training students in Computer Networks and Network Security within the frame of current trends in Technical and Vocational Education, based on a meta-analysis conducted by researchers in Europe, Asia and North America [1]. Focus is set on research methodology, apprenticeship-like training, teaching and evaluation methods and the use of information technologies in technical and vocational education. We conclude that the analyzed innovative training methods are deducted as being representative from the point of view of both conceptual and research papers, being based on case-studies and covering a wide majority of data sources considered valid for Technical and Vocational Education. Further development of the training methods by the authors is aimed through the introduction of a new "Internet of Things" course at the "Gheorghe Asachi" Technical University of Iasi, Romania.

programming skills have gained increasing attention in recent years because digital technologies have become an indispensable part of life. However, little is known about the roles of fade-in and fade-out scaffolding in online collaborative programming settings. To close this research gap, the present study aims to examine the roles of fade-in and fade-out scaffolding for novice programmers in online collaborative programming. A total of 90 undergraduate students participated in the exploratory study and were assigned to 15 fade-in groups and 15 fade-out groups. All of the participants completed the same programming task. The findings reveal that fade-in scaffolding can significantly improve collaborative knowledge building, programming skills, metacognitive behaviors, emotions, and collective efficacy. Goal setting, planning, monitoring and control, enacting strategies, and evaluation and reflection are identified as the crucial metacognitive behaviors. The main contribution of this exploratory study is to shed light on how to design and implement scaffolding for novice programmers.

High failure and dropout rates are reported in introductory programming (IP) courses in different studies despite extensive research attempting to address the issue. In this study, we introduced an ADRI (Approach, Deployment, Result, Improvement) approach in the teaching and learning process of an IP course to improve learning and success rates. All three entities of the didactic triangle (student, instructor, and content) were involved in the research to better understand and execute the proposed approach. The IP course materials were redesigned based on the ADRI approach, and an editor was developed to promote the new approach and encourage students to complete the various stages required in the approach. Two surveys were conducted, and final exam grades over four semesters were compared with determine the impact of including the ADRI approach in the course. We concluded that the ADRI approach provides a positive impact on outcomes that the students achieved during the course. It engages students in practicing their programming skills and provides a new presentation style for examples and exercises which discourages students from taking programming shortcuts. It not only helps to reduce the failure and, significantly, the dropout rates from the IP course but also impacts positively on all students who passed the IP course.

Resumes and social recommendations are often high-level indicators of a candidate's technical skillset. In this paper, we present a method to create a more detailed technology skill profile of a candidate based on her code repository contributions. For this purpose, we annotate user contributions to GitHub code repositories with technology tags found in Stack Overflow questions and answers (Q&A) in an unsupervised manner. We also present SkillMap, a visual representation of candidate skill profile, for quick review and comparison with other candidate profiles. We create SkillMaps for 66 Java programmers and present a preliminary qualitative assessment though manual analysis and interviews of technical recruiters.

Pupils are often first exposed to programming in block-based programming environments like Scratch. Identifying and measuring the previous experience of students learning to program is a key to improve the teaching of programming. In this contribution, we outline an approach to measure and evaluate programming interactions with the block-based programming environment Scratch. First results, obtained with eight upper secondary school students, show that programming skills and patterns can be quantified with interaction metrics measured during program construction. The aim is a more fine-grained identification and assessment of programming skills.
