A Concept Map based Teaching of Compiler Design for Undergraduate Students

Abstract

In undergraduate engineering, most of the subjects do not have the open visibility of the Industry and Research requirements. Students are interested mostly on subjects which are useful for Industry placement. They do not show interest in non-open visibility subjects if an instructor teaches by simply following the textbook. Considering this, we presented a concept map based teaching methodology with Research and Industry assignments and problems. The proposed methodology focus on improving the teaching quality and students’ understanding level. In this paper, we have taken the Compiler Design subject and presented the concept map. To understand the effectiveness of the proposed methodology, the students feedback was collected and evaluated using the sign-test and the students’ submitted problems and assignments were evaluated to understand their level. The analysis results show that most of students studied Compiler Design with interest as a result of proposed teaching methodology.

Interrelatedness patterns of knowledge representation in extension concept mapping

“…The extended concept map design effectively streams scheming work and creates a robust knowledge base (Foley et al, 2018). Extension concept mapping supplies associated activities for effectively arranging the expansion structure (Boffey et al, 2010;Subramanian et al, 2022) and improving problem-solving. The extended mapping activity helps students improve the prior map and correlate it with additional relevant information to increase meaningful learning.…”
