Integrating Service-Oriented Paradigm Into Introductory Information Technology Curricula

计算机科学（31）Web服务可以集成到入门编程序列，使其更有趣，更重要的是，使学生更好地准备高年级班和IT行业毕业后。这不仅以其有趣的活动集合吸引了学生，从而解决了保留问题，而且还激励和准备他们使用面向服务的范式进行真实世界的软件开发解决方案。该项目通过引入一种现代的、新颖的方法，通过Web服务技术集成了面向服务的范式，从而彻底改变了目前在介绍性编程序列中使用的方法。这个项目的目标是：（1）通过使用面向服务的体系结构（SOA）/Web服务作为让学生接触真实的世界编程场景的方法，提高对入门编程课程的兴趣。(2)通过使用SOA/Web服务作为让学生学习基本核心编程概念的框架，提高入门编程课程的成绩。(3)创建一系列以SOA/Web服务为中心的入门编程课程，这些课程被认为对信息技术领域的雇主有益且相关。智力优势：治疗组实验的研究结果提供了有价值的信息，使用面向服务的范式的有效性介绍程序序列。参与该项目的教师的研究结果提供了关于如何将面向服务的范式纳入计算课程的介绍性编程序列的见解。开发的一系列课程让学生接触到一种新的教学模式，使他们能够体验IT行业的实践。 更广泛的影响：该项目的交付成果位于一个存储库中，便于教师和学生探索。实时Web服务托管在存储库中，供教育工作者将其纳入课堂。面向服务的范例对于各种群体具有高度的适应性。教师研讨会进行转让，进一步传播，并提供反馈的课程材料。

Computer Science (31)Web services can be integrated into the introductory programming sequence to make it more interesting and more importantly, make the students better prepared for upper division classes and for the IT industry upon graduation. This not only fascinates the students with its interesting collection of activities, thus addressing the issue of retention, but also inspires and prepares them for real-world software development solutions using the service-oriented paradigm. This project overhauls the approach currently used in the introductory programming sequence by incorporating a modern and novel approach that integrates service-oriented paradigm via Web services technology. The objectives of this project are: (1) Increase interest in introductory programming courses through the use of Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA)/Web services as a method of exposing students to real world programming scenarios. (2) Increase performance in introductory programming courses through the use of SOA/Web services as a framework for engaging students in the study of basic core programming concepts. (3) Create a series of SOA/Web service-centered introductory programming courses considered beneficial and relevant to employers in information technology fields. Intellectual Merit: Research findings of the treatment group experiment provide valuable information on the effectiveness of using service-oriented paradigm for introductory program sequence. Research findings from the instructors participating in the project provide insight on how service-oriented paradigm may be incorporated into the introductory programming sequence of computing curricula. The series of courses developed expose students to a new pedagogical model that allows them to experience what the IT industry is practicing. Broader Impacts: The deliverables of this project are situated in a repository for ease of exploration by instructors and students. Live Web services are hosted in the repository for educators to incorporate into their classrooms. The service-oriented paradigm is highly adaptable for various groups. A faculty workshop is conducted to transfer, further disseminate, and provide feedback for the course materials.
