一句话:通过混合式夏令营向14名自闭症高中生教授团队合作与编程,并总结教育者建议。
本文是一篇经验报告,关注自闭症学生在进入软件行业前缺乏团队合作训练的问题:他们的教育常集中于社交技能,而混合式教学又带来沟通、协作和组队困难。作者规划并运行了一个混合式夏令营,面向14名自闭症高中生,将团队合作与编程教学结合,并使用开源软件开展软件开发实践。总体而言,夏令营在教授开源软件开发技能方面取得成功。基于实践,作者总结了经验教训,并为在混合式环境中面向自闭症学生的教育者和研究者提供建议。
Teamwork skills are increasingly important for students to have as they enter the workforce, especially in software development positions. However, autistic students do not get to practice teamwork since much of their education is focused on learning social skills. The hybrid mode of education comes with challenges, including communication and collaboration issues and teaming difficulties, however, this method of teaching and learning can be difficult for students with autism. In this experience report paper, we discuss our experience planning and running a hybrid camp to teach teamwork and programming to 14 autistic high school students. Overall, our camp was successful in teaching students software development skills with open source software, and, from our experience, we detail our lessons learned and provide recommendations for educators and researchers working with autistic students in a hybrid setting.
