methodologies for teaching and learning in software intensiveenvironments, it is important to draw a distinction between training and education. Training isusually understood to be the acquisition of a specific set of skills in order to master theperformance of a specific task, with little emphasis on theory. [1]. This is not to say that theory isnot important, and in fact implicit in most professional training is the fact that an understandingof the underlying theory and abstractions already exists in the trainee. In contrast, education ischaracterized by the transmission of knowledge and understanding for use in subsequentdynamic applications [1]. Implicit in education is the exposure to theory as at least part of thelearning experience. Step by step
