Abstract

Teaching programming to mixed-background learners poses the challenge of balancing the learning experience in the class. In this research, we investigated the impact of content co-creation teaching approach for a programming module in the master's conversion course. The content co-creation allowed students to create their own problem to solve using the programming skills they learn in class. The class test and questionnaire were used to evaluate the effectiveness of the teaching approach. The results showed that there were no significant differences in test score between students with a computing and non-computing background. The participating students had a strong positive opinion about the teaching approach.
