A constructivist framework for integrating the Java paradigm into the undergraduate curriculum
Said Hadjerrouit · 1998
The educational use of Java at the introductory level is still in its infancy and effective teaching strategies are only beginning to emerge. Java is a new technology designed to promote a new computing paradigm. To produce a new generation of students skilled in Java, undergraduate computer science should be taught from the perspective of developing a strong Java foundation. This paper describes a pedagogical framework motivated by principles found in the constructivist learning theory for integrating the Java paradigm into the undergraduate curriculum.
