Application of PBL Based Sandwich Teaching on C Programming

Abstract

Computer thinking is the training target of computer basic courses. AS an important computer basic courses, C programming requires frequent practices. Traditional LBL-based teaching are very inefficient for such a highly practical course. This article analyzes the disadvantages of traditional LBL-based teaching at first, and then illustrates how PBL-based sandwich teaching is applied to the curriculum of c programming. By comparing PBL-based sandwich teaching with traditional LBL-based teaching, advantages of the latter are found by examination results and questionaire. At last, the paper summarizes the difficulty when teachers implement sandwich teaching at universities in China now and our future work.
