Machine-Learning Approaches For Developing An Autograder For High School-Level Cs-For-All Initiatives, Sirazum Munira Tisha Apr 2023

Machine-Learning Approaches For Developing An Autograder For High School-Level Cs-For-All Initiatives, Sirazum Munira Tisha

LSU Doctoral Dissertations

Most existing autograders used for grading programming assignments are based on unit testing, which is tedious to implement for programs with graphical output and does not allow testing for other code aspects, such as programming style or structure. We present a novel autograding approach based on machine learning that can successfully check the quality of coding assignments from a high school-level CS-for-all computational thinking course. For evaluating our autograder, we graded 2,675 samples from five different assignments from the past three years, including open-ended problems from different units of the course curriculum. Our autograder uses features based on lexical analysis …


Extracting A Body Of Knowledge As A First Step Towards Defining A United Software Engineering Curriculum Guideline, Anton Kiselev Apr 2023

Extracting A Body Of Knowledge As A First Step Towards Defining A United Software Engineering Curriculum Guideline, Anton Kiselev

Doctoral Dissertations and Master's Theses

In general, the computing field is a rapidly changing environment, and as such, software engineering education must be able to adjust quickly to new needs. Industry adapts to technologies as fast as it can, but the critical issue is a need for recent graduates with the necessary expertise and knowledge of new trends, technologies, and practical experience. The industries that employ graduates of computing degree programs aim to hire those who are familiar with the latest technical traits, tools, and methodologies to meet these needs, and the software engineering curriculum needs to respond quickly to these needs. Still, unfortunately, software …


Incidencia De La Implementación De Los Sistemas De Aseguramiento De La Calidad Sobre La Enseñanza De La Ingeniería Civil, Lina María Acosta Jan 2023

Incidencia De La Implementación De Los Sistemas De Aseguramiento De La Calidad Sobre La Enseñanza De La Ingeniería Civil, Lina María Acosta

Doctorado en Educación y Sociedad

La presente tesis, titulada “Incidencia de la Implementación de los Sistemas de Aseguramiento de la Calidad en la Enseñanza de la Ingeniería Civil”, tiene como objetivo general establecer cómo las políticas de aseguramiento de la calidad implementadas por las Instituciones de Educación Superior inciden en las prácticas de aula y estrategias pedagógicas empleadas en la formación de ingenieros civiles. A lo largo de este documento, se exponen la formulación y justificación del problema, los objetivos y los referentes teóricos y conceptuales, para posteriormente explicar el abordaje metodológico. Este se plantea desde un enfoque cualitativo, enmarcado en el paradigma constructivista y …
