I am a visiting professor at Texas A&A University. I am professor at University of Brasilia, Brazil. My research areas are databases and Computer Science Education.
Computing is everywhere, and the first programming language course, generally called CS1 (Computer Science 1 course), is usually taught by departments of Computer Science to undergraduate students majoring in various subjects. However, the high failure rate in these introductory programming courses is an issue that challenges several universities. In this context, this work-in-progress presents an intervention proposal focused on the class for students majoring in Mathematics. In conjunction with the Department of Mathematics, a CS1 course has been created with adaptations to the course content for the context of Mathematics. The initial validation, performed on mathematics undergraduate students, showed good initial results.
