TPFOSSS: A Modified TPS Technique to Improve Student's Conceptual Understanding of Compiler Construction Course

摘要

TPFOSSS (Think-Pair Free Open Source Software-Share) is a cooperative learning activity and modified activity of TPS in which free open source software e.g. Parsing Simulator for Compiler Construction or JFLAP simulator for Theory of Computation etc. Can be used in TPS activity. Providing "think time" in TFOSSPS improves quality of student responses. This activity develops skills of sharing information, improves the interaction, listening, asking questions, summarizing others' ideas etc. In this paper, we present how TPFOSSS works, advantages of TPFOSSS over TPS and experimental results. The experiment carried out is two group experimental studies.
