Abstract

Internal differentiation is a didactic answer to the growing heterogeneity of the knowledge-base of students based on the rising permeability in higher education (e.g., different qualifications for access to university). As part of an appropriate didactic setting, learning tasks are an essential component, among many other factors. The use of differentiated learning tasks as a reaction to heterogeneity can make an important contribution to teaching/learning. The competency development of students can thus be promoted efficiently. As this diversity is discoverable considering coding in particular among software engineering students, this paper focuses on a beginners' programming course.
