Abstract

Programming is an essential skill for students majored in computer science. However, due to the effect of sign language, deaf students have more difficulties in learning programming than average students. A primary reason is that they fail to understand programming logics and have poor English skills. Therefore, we reformed the teaching mode in the programming course by borrowing ideas from computational thinking. The new teaching plan includes concept abstraction, task decomposition, independent thinking, and practice reinforcement. The aim of the plan is to let students take the dominant role in the class so as to change passive learning into active learning. The new plan was applied in a programming course for one semester, the students’ performance in the process of classes and the results from final project show that most of students are fully activated and achieved from the course.
