Investigating the effectiveness of early programming-centric models for IT education
Edward P. Holden, Thomas J. Borrelli · 2013
Computer Science and Information Technology education offers significant challenges for both educators and students. Oftentimes students may not have much experience with logic, math and reasoning which may inhibit the transfer of knowledge in early stages. If, on the other hand, students have some prior experience, it may facilitate the understanding of early and mid-term concepts and will hopefully produce a more gradual learning curve for students to follow. This paper discusses a boot camp that was offered to incoming IT students and provides the results.
