Recently, the need for software education is growing and the university is actively opening SW-related liberal arts courses. In order to establish new courses and to operate them effectively, it is necessary to actively collect opinions from students and improve the course every semester. Since 2017, A-university has been operating ‘computational thinking’ subject as an essential liberal arts subject and has been conducting basic software education for all freshman students. To improve the curriculum, we conducted survey for students taking classes. 4,927 students responded to the questionnaire through about 3 years survey.
The purpose of this study is to analyze the data of 4,927 students surveyed and to analyze the perception and trends of perception of college students core software curriculum. Through research, students perceptions is analyzed related to: (1) suitability as a liberal arts essential, (2) usefulness to employment and career, (3) usefulness of convergence with students major, (4) suitability of scratch in this course, and (5) suitability of python in this subject. As a result of the analysis, it was found that university students recognized software basic courses as a necessity of liberal arts in common regardless of the major, and as time passed, the negative perception decreased and the positive perception increased. In addition, python is more appropriate than scratch as a practical tool for curriculum for liberal arts software. |
