Teaching and learning essential computer science skills: the UNIX example

Published: 01 June 1996 Publication History

Abstract

The sources of difficulty in learning particular concepts are not always identifiable by either the educators or the students. While the theme of this paper may initially be UNIX, this is used as a mechanism for discussing the main thrust of the paper, which is concerned with general issues relating to the teaching and learning process. Difficulties may arise which are inherent to the subject matter, a product of the teaching/learning experience, or as the result of existing misconceptions. Some of these factors are discussed in terms of the UNIX example, and generically in terms of a qualitative approach to teaching and learning. It makes a case for the adoption of a teaching perspective that addresses the student perception of their own learning.
