Teaching and assessment methods in Dutch Computer Science curricula
Researching the difference in teaching and assessment methods between technical and non-technical universities
Developing teamwork skills is an essential part of studying during a Computer Science Bachelor. Though it is unclear which teaching and assessment methods are used in the different types of universities throughout the Netherlands. Thus, there is a knowledge gap in understanding the differences between universities for high-school graduates and program makers. This research compares technical and non-technical universities in the Netherlands based on how they teach teamwork skills throughout their curricula. The respective study guides serve as a basis for a comparative case study where the data is analysed through deductive and inductive coding. The technical university had a stronger focus on large group projects with a more in-depth description of assessment methods. In all other aspects the universities were comparable in terms of how they incorporated teaching methods, learning goals and which kinds of courses contained teaching or applying teamwork skills. These findings can serve as the basis for more research on the differences between technical and non-technical universities and to deepen the constructive alignment of Computer Science curricula's descriptions.
