Abstract

Computing education in Taiwan is ineffective. Most teaching efforts in private vocational schools have been devoted to helping students pass tests through a "spoon-feeding" teaching method. Under such constraints, students may lose their long-term competence in practical terms. In this study, the author conducted a series of quasi-experiments to examine the long-term effects of web-mediated problem-based learning PBL, self-regulated learning SRL, and their combinations on students' computing skills over three years. The author re-examined students' long-term computing skills three years after the start of the related course. Results reveal that effects of web-mediated PBL, SRL, and their combinations on students' long-term computing skills are significant. The implications for scholars and teachers engaged in online learning were also discussed.
