Examine issues in teaching and learning of programming in Java with a focus teaching of secondary level students. You will learn teaching and learning of Algorithms; data structures & representation; searching & Sorting; basic software design processes & impacts on society.  You will also learn to develop an educational infrastructure and professional community that supports computing in traditional K-12 environments.

Learning Objectives

By the end of the course students will be able to:

• Read and trace Java programs (in an online and on-paper environment) to demonstrate understanding of the core computing concepts covered in a common university introductory programming course (e.g. sequences, if statements, while/for loops, nested constructs, boolean and compound boolean expressions, object use, object- oriented design, inheritance, data structures [1-D and 2-D arrays and ArrayLists], and recursion)
• Utilize a freely available interactive online textbook (CS Awesome) to support students in learning Java
• Describe various types of assessment options, identify resources for finding and sharing assessments, and select assessments for a specific need
• Support students in developing deep code analysis skills, code tracing skills, problem decomposition, iterative development, and techniques for approaching free-response style programming questions
