Assessment and SoTL - Research
Abstract
This presentation will discuss a study which investigates how students perceive they integrate knowledge from one discipline (sustainability) with tools from another discipline (Computer and Information Science) to solve problems in introductory computer programming courses. The study uncovers the ways in which students bring knowledge from seemingly disjoint disciplines together, as well as identifying specific elements of information students perceive as important in solving the problem. The results of this study will provide attendees with insight into the methods by which students integrate knowledge from distinct disciplines, as well as potential avenues for both student engagement and integrative learning.
