An organizer for project-based learning and instruction in computer science
Zahava Scherz, Sarah Polak · 1999
The computer science (CS) educational community has recently realized the potential of project-based learning (PBL) in CS education. The new CS curriculum for high school students in Israel consists of 3 to 5 courses --- one of which requires a final project instead of the traditional final examination. PBL demands many changes in students' learning habits and requires new instructional methodology. This paper presents the rational and objectives of a PBL organizer that was specifically designed for a project oriented logic programming high school course. The PBL organizer gradually supports both students and teachers in project development processes.
