Teaching SQL

Abstract

In this poster we describe a class experiment focused on a different way of teaching SQL language. Classically students are introduced to SQL programming and start right way to write code lines. Based on my teaching experience this is not the ideal methodology. This poster presents a new approach for teaching SQL programming in the context of a Portuguese University: "in order to write first we have to be able to read". This case study - although in its first steps - clearly recognizes the potential benefits of this approach.
