Abstract

Teaching computer programming skills within the university context has proven to be a difficult and challenging task. The cognitive load placed upon the students is heavy, and it is unclear if traditional instructional practices are optimal within the area. Traditionally, student attrition levels have been high, and ways to address such problems need to be considered. This thesis is concerned with ways to improve university course materials and instructional provisions, specifically within the context of teaching advanced programming skills to undergraduate students at the National University of Samoa.
