Abstract:
This paper presents an Action Research study for incorporating new learning and teaching methods into a Web Development module at a U.K. University, addressing the problems of varied experiences amongst the students with programming languages and computational thinking. Active learning concepts were introduced using three experiments involving Learning by Teaching, Jigsaw Puzzle, and Observations from Videos. These experiments were aimed at enhancing the students learning capabilities and computational thinking. All three experiments have achieved positive results among the students who were evaluated using formative assessments during their practical sessions. The study has found that Active Learning concepts can enhance student learning capabilities and give them more control over their own learning
