Teaching query writing: an informed instruction approach

Published: 30 June 2008 Publication History

Abstract

This paper is intended for those instructors asked to teach an undergraduate introductory class on SQL query writing, which is usually difficult for students to learn. After reading Bruer's Schools for Thought [1], we realized that we need to modify our approach so that it uses informed instruction (instead of traditional instruction) and since have noticed improvements in student performance in SQL query writing.
