Brief Program Description
|
The HtDCH Project builds on the foundations
of the TeachScheme! project to present a systematic
design of class based programs in an object-oriented language (Java).
A series of design recipes guides the student through the definition
of class hierarchies representing problem data, the design of methods
for these classes, and the design of abstractions arising from recurring
patterns of program structures. The design recipe is a pedagogical
framework and intervention tool that defines the design steps with
identifiable, measurable outcomes, and guidelines for achieving and
assessing these outcomes. Students following this curriculum gain a
solid understanding of object-oriented computation in any language,
and programming discipline in general.
The project web site has links to the curriculum
materials, software, and announcements about summer workshops and courses
for teachers.
