A Novel Approach to Improve Logical and Critical Thinking through Collaborative Learning and Using Visualization Tools

Abstract

Programming Languages are fundamental subjects in Computer Science and Engineering domain. The programming includes basic knowledge of the language, tools, logic building, critical thinking, and problem-solving. However number of students are facing problems while studying programming language. The reason could be that their logical thinking and critical thinking capacity. Now a day's advanced teaching methodology is the innovative way to boost teaching and learning performance. This paper is based on collaborative learning and use of visualization tools for improving students programming skill as well as their logic building capacity. Visualization of a program, its execution and explanation of program behaviour along with its output help students to advance their logical thinking as well as programming skill. Collaborative learning makes students work in a group and students involve one another to ask for information, evaluate their ideas and monitor work together.
