Use of laboratories in Computer Science education: guidelines for good practice Report of the Working Group on Computing Deborah Knox, Ursula Wolz (joint chairs) Trenton State College, USA University Laboratories Atika Laribi de Geneve, Switzerland Daniel Joyce Villanova University, USA USA USA J. Paul Myers Trinity University, Northeastern Rochester USA USA IUSA Elliot Koffman Temple University, Viera K. Proulx University, Joan Krone Denisen University, Kenneth A. Reek Institute of Technology, Abstract This paper explores various aspects of the use of laboratories in teaching Computer Science. The foIlowing six topics are discussed in detail: i scope of courses, ii relationship between lecture and lab, iii pedagogy, iv an Internet repository for laboratory materials, v institutional support and vi technology, The first three items deal with content while the last three are concerned with implementation. This document is part of a continuing effort that the authors envision will result in a laboratory development manual. i Scope of courses: introductory Science as well as Computer Literacy ii Relationship between management issues. iii Pedagogy: assessment. teacher lecture and advanced Computer and non-major courses. and laboratory: curricular interaction, student collaboration, and iv Internet repository: standardization of content materials, recognition for development of laboratory
