Niveau transformations: a tool for method classification and lesson planning

Published: 05 November 2014 Publication History

Abstract

We introduce a novel classification scheme for problem solving and programming scenarios in computer science education based on the relations between problem complexity, student capability and features of the technological platform. We extend this to a classification of variation methods leading to alternate approaches to lesson planning and explication/analysis of planning decisions.
