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中，使其更有趣，更重要的是，使学生在毕业后为高年级课程和it行业做好更好的准备。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，而且还激励并准备他们使用面向服务的范式进行实际的软件开发解决方案。该项目通过结合一种通过Web服务技术集成面向服务范式的现代新颖方法，彻底检查了目前在介绍性编程序列中使用的方法。该项目的目标是：(1)通过使用面向服务的体系结构(SOA)/Web服务作为向学生展示真实世界编程场景的方法，提高对编程入门课程的兴趣。(2)通过使用SOA/Web服务作为框架来吸引学生学习基本的核心编程概念，从而提高入门编程课程的性能。(3)创建一系列以SOA/Web服务为中心的编程入门课程，认为这些课程对信息技术领域的雇主有益且相关。智力优势：实验组实验的研究结果提供了关于将面向服务的范式用于引入程序序列的有效性的有价值的信息。参与该项目的讲师的研究成果提供了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。开发的系列课程向学生展示了一种新的教学模式，使他们能够体验IT行业的实践。更广泛的影响：这个项目的可交付成果位于一个存储库中，便于教师和学生进行探索。实时Web服务托管在存储库中，供教育工作者将其整合到教室中。面向服务的范式对不同的组具有高度的适应性。进行教师研讨会，以转移、进一步传播和提供对课程材料的反馈。

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.
