标题：The Development of Problem-Based Learning and Concept Mapping Using a Block-Based Programming Model to Enhance the Programming Competency of Undergraduate Students in Computer Science
摘要：The purpose of this research is to develop problem-based learning and concept mapping by using a block-based programming model (PBL-CBp model) and to evaluate the appropriateness of the PBL-CBp model. The research will be divided into two parts. The first part will be about learning style development and will study the theories and ideas which relate to problem-based learning,the programming process and the concept mapping and block-based programming. It will synthesise the steps in the problem-based learning method,and the steps in the program process and design the learning steps by using problem-based concept mapping and block-based programming. The second part will consist of an evaluation of the appropriateness of the model. An appropriateness questionnaire for the PBL-CBp model will be created and the PBL-CBp model will be submitted to five experts for improvement.
关键词：After evaluation of the appropriateness of the PBLCBp model;the results show that this PBL-CBp model could be used to enhance the programming competency of undergraduate students in computer science.
