Description

An introductory level SQL Course designed using Google Course Builder's infrastructure for the experimental group. The learning content was separated into three levels: the first covered the database concept, principles of database design, types of databases, database management systems, and an introduction to SQL; the second and third levels had students learn and practice writing SQL statements from simple to complex. At the end of each section, students wrote SQL statements using the "W3 SQL Tryit Editor", an online database editor. The platform was accessible for two weeks and included an introductory video and discussion forums.

Design Implications

Context

Requirements

• Participants first watched an introductory video explaining how to use the platform and how to answer questions within the experiment

Constraints

• The platform was accessible for 2 weeks only, during the experiment process

Target Learners

• undergraduate students in a Basic Computer Applications course

Learning Goals

• knowledge and skills towards using introductory level SQL

Claims

• Undergraduate students taught SQL face-to-face performed significantly higher on the SQL Final Test than students taught with a blended learning method over a two-week experiment [-W]
• The blended learning group showed a slight but statistically significant improvement in SQL test scores from the first-week mid-test to the final test [+W]
