Using a Computer-Supported Cooperative Problem Solving Environment to Teach Undergraduate Computer Science StudentsCooperative Skills and Requirements Elicitation

随着共享而不是个人的工作数量的增加， 工作继续增长，我们被迫重新审视 人们工作的方式。 这一建议表明，在今天的工作中- 在这个地方，计算机科学家必须精通技术和 以及沟通技巧。 这也表明，我们作为 教育工作者，必须准备教我们的学生如何工作 在协作环境中， 生产力 为此，我们建议采用现有的 计算机支持的协作问题解决环境， 教计算机科学本科生引出 软件需求。 我们认为， 启发和合作技能是高度相关的， 因此，可以通过使用 计算机支持的协作环境。 通过这样做，我们 将能够扩大我们的解决问题的技能， 学生，从而释放到计算机科学社区 更高效的程序员 环境将鼓励 合作的工作，但提供教师的能力， 来监控个人和团队的表现。 通过 这个系统，学生将能够学习要求 同时，也是一种很好的方法。 有在大型团队项目中合作的经验。

As the number of jobs in which shared rather than individual work continues to grow, we are being forced to re-examine the way people work. This proposal suggests that in today's work- place, computer scientists must be adept at both technical as well as communication skills. It also suggests that we, as educators, must be prepared to teach our students how to work in collaborative environments that improve programmer productivity. Towards this end, we propose to use an existing computer-supported cooperative problem solving environment to teach undergraduate computer science students to elicit software requirements. We believe that requirements elicitation and cooperative skills are highly interrelated and, as such, can be taught more effectively through the use of a computer-supported cooperative environment. By doing this, we will be able to expand the problem solving skills of our students and, thus, release into the computer science community more effective programmers. The environment will encourage cooperative work, and yet provide instructors with the ability to monitor individual as well as group performance. Through this system, students will be able to learn requirements elicitation techniques and, at the same time, gain valuable experience in working together on large team projects.
