“…Additionally, sufficient training must be provided to teachers who teach lower secondary students on the fundamentals of CT so they can effectively express this idea. Students will lose interest in coding in their potential professional careers if this subject is not taught successfully (Thorat & Kshirsagar, 2021). When studying CT skills, students must have an established basis in problem-solving skills before they can create basic programme code.…”

Coding is the act of writing code, whereas programming is the act of developing functional software or computer programs. A set of instructions or a set of rules expressed in a specific programming language are referred to as "computer code" in computer programming. Students pursuing certificates in vocational studies are now starting to learn about programming. At the lower secondary level, these students received preparation in computational thinking (CT). This concept paper identifies three primary problems with coding and computational thinking among vocational students: (i) CT's inadequate educational foundation; (ii) lack of interest in programming, and (iii) absence of measurement of CT literacy level in programming for vocational students. The uniqueness of this concept paper is in its ability to elaborate on coding challenges in programming and computational thinking abilities. The results of this study imply that screening should be done before bringing on new pupils. Attention should be taken to this article so that novice learners are better equipped to continue learning in a motivated way because they get the fundamentals of coding in programming. The aim of this research is to contribute to a better understanding of the problems and difficulties in teaching computational thinking and programming skills. Vocational colleges and Lead Trainers may engage collaboratively to create this proposed solution with the aim to provide interventions for students who are still novice to programming.

“…This problem is solved by different activities like assignment of small activities to handle the computer, topic-wise short code challenges, writing algorithm and drawing flowchart, and code debugging. They observed that the result and overall performance of students get improved due to such kind of active learning technique [11]. Reddy, P. C. ( 2015), analyzed that making use of software tools to see the intermediate values of a variable during program execution as well as incremental programming approach helps to improve the programming ability of students [12].…”

“…Teaching programming courses has a lot of challenges, especially for first-year C programming courses. The first engineering students come from different backgrounds, some of them are having a problem with communication skills, less confidence, unfamiliar with friends, having traditional learning experience using paper -pen, less exposure to computer skills, and having just remembering skills rather than applying skill [10] [11]. At the first-year level, some students are having anxiety about Computer Systems [11].…”

Programming languages are a vital domain for Computer and Information Technology engineering. The programming languages like C, C++, Java, Python, Mobile Application Development, and Web Technologies are important programming courses in CSE and IT curriculum. Understanding the programming courses includes a basic understanding of the syntax of programming language, logical & critical thinking to solve the problem, use of various editors to write and execute the program. Effective delivery of the programming course creates a great deal of influence on student’s interest in programming and software development. The students lose their interest in programming due to the inefficient delivery of these courses which leads to a gap in technical competency required by the IT sector. The current Covid 19 pandemic exposed the limitation of traditional teaching methods for programming courses. Teaching such programming courses on online mode becomes a big challenge for faculty by considering the skillset required to inculcate amongst the students for learning programming courses. The primary objective of this paper is to overcome these challenges by the effective use of a pedagogical approach for teaching programming courses. The various active learning methods and tools are discussed in this paper that was used to teach the programming language. The result shows that by implementation of such methods & tools you can retain the interest of students in programming courses and thus increase their performance and improve the skillset required in IT industry. Keywords— Computer Programming, Activity-based learning, Visualization tools, logic building, Critical thinking, Continuous Assessment.

“…There have been many different systems developed to help experts make decisions based on their opinions or preferences [2][3][4]. In any case, systems can fail, and there can be errors, called logical errors, which do not affect the functioning of the system but do affect the final result [5], and that may have enormous negative repercussions in financial terms because the systems are supposed to provide good support to decision makers.…”

Theorem Verification of the Quantifier-Guided Dominance Degree with the Mean Operator for Additive Preference Relations

et al. 2022

Deciding which film is the best or which portfolio is the best for investment are examples of decisions made by people every day. Decision-making systems aim to help people make such choices. In general, a decision-making system processes and analyses the available information to arrive at the best alternative solution of the problem of interest. In the preference modelling framework, decision-making systems select the best alternative(s) by maximising a score or choice function defined by the decision makers’ expressed preferences on the set of feasible alternatives. Nevertheless, decision-making systems may have logical errors that cannot be appreciated by developers. The main contribution of this paper is the provision of a verification theorem of the score function based on the quantifier-guided dominance degree (QGDD) with the mean operator in the context of additive preference relations. The provided theorem has several benefits because it can be applied to verify that the result obtained is correct and that there are no problems in the programming of the corresponding decision-making systems, thus improving their reliability. Moreover, this theorem acts on different parts of such systems, since not only does the theorem verify that the order of alternatives is correct, but it also verifies that the creation of the global preference relation is correct.
