Abstract

In this article, Fishbone-based advanced computational thinking (FACT) pedagogy
is proposed by fusing fishbone pedagogy and computational thinking pedagogy
for enhancing teaching-learning process while teaching engineering and science
courses, for engineering and science students respectively. The proposed FACT
pedagogy has been implemented using the concept of X-ray machine in biomedical
instrumentation course and biomolecules, in biochemistry course. Using fishbone
approach, various components of X-ray machine in biomedical course and the
components of biomolecules in biochemistry course are visually explained as
ribs and riblets of a fishbone diagram, without coining the keywords X-ray and
biomolecules in an engineering institution and science institution respectively.
Finally, the targeted concept is arrived and explained. Similarly, the same concepts
of X-ray and biomolecules are coined among students and they are asked to
divide or decompose the concepts into sub-concepts separately. To implement
and evaluate the proposed pedagogy, an engineering institution and a science
institution have been selected and evaluation results have been published in this article. In this pedagogical approach, the same complex concept is taught as a
backward thinking by the teacher using fishbone pedagogy and forward thinking
by the students using computational thinking pedagogy. This combined approach
helps students to understand any complex concept in science courses. Also, it
helps the teachers to easily convey and embed the same among the student
community while teaching science courses.
