Enhanced Learning through Blended IC and DCN Strategies in C Programming for Non-Computer Science Students

Abstract

Programming Languages have become one of the core courses even for non-computer science students. The domination of Information Technology markets gives more space job recruitments in software field than in any other core fields in India. However, it is found that, learning C program for non-computer science students is always a difficult task. In this paper, the education research team of department of electrical and electronics engineering has made an attempt through Inverted Classroom (IC) and Desi Chicken Nourishment (DCN) strategies to create a learning environment for C programming class of third semester Electrical Engineering students. Various methods are adopted to promote effective implementation of IC for perfect understanding of the course. The DCN based approach shows a steadfast improvement in programming skills of the non-computer science students.
