Furthermore, it is imperative to assign appropriate time to each topic so as to conduct the course efficaciously. To assist the Database course instructor in deciding these factors, some ground work has been done, which widely ranges from timely published computer science curricula by ACM and IEEE-CS to the articles published in journals and conferences. The major ingredients for this course are the course contents, and the methodology. Based on the course contents and a selected methodology two other factors are incorporated i.e. which textbooks are more suitable for each methodology, and how much time should be allocated to each topic in each methodology. To this end, we have conducted a survey of the top universities of the world, so as to accumulate relevant data that mainly comprises of the detailed course outlines. We have analyzed this collected data, and have also incorporated our own teaching experience, and as a principal contribution of this article we present a consolidated course content domain along with relevant learning outcomes, and different methodologies that can be used for teaching an elementary course in database systems.  \nKey words: teaching/learning strategies; improving classroom teaching; pedagogical issues  \n* Department of Computer Science, University of Management and Technology, Pakistan.

The importance of this course can be highlighted by the fact that it is considered as a core course in computing curricula, i.e. In order to complete the degree a student has to study this course successfully. In many disciplines, there exist, knowledge areas which are offered as a series of courses. As an example, there is a stream of computer programming courses, which includes an introductory course in computer programming, which is followed by more advanced courses in this domain. Furthermore, there are different possible methodologies to teach computer programming which include Object First Approach, Functional First Approach, or Imperative First Approach (Farooq et al. 2014) . Similarly, a series of courses are taught in the area of database systems, and furthermore, different methodologies are used to teach these courses (“Computer Science Curricula 2013”, Jun 2014)(Al-Shuaily et al. 2012)(Wagner et al. 2003) (Springsteel et al. 2000) (Howe et al. 2014) .  \nIn this article we focus on a first course in database management system, and discuss different methodologies which have been used to teach this course. To this end, we have incorporated IEEE/ACM curricula (Computer Science Curricula 2013) , course outlines collected from different top universities of the world, and research articles. As a main contribution, we present the main ingredients of this course which include the course outline that covers the main topics to be covered, we also discuss the time allocation for each topic for different methodologies. Furthermore, we focus on the practical part of the course that may involve projects or practical assignments. Lastly, we incorporate the textbooks which have been widely used by the instructors.  \nThe rest of the paper is organized in the following manner. In Section 2, literature survey is presented, which is followed by Section 3 where we introduce the major ingredients ","cbCaifHXaYzH2TgU","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaifHXaYzH2TgU","pdf",374838,17,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n# Literature Review","[{\"question\":\"What are the main factors considered to conduct an introductory database systems course effectively?\",\"answer\":\"The paper focuses on course contents and methodology, and then determines which textbooks match each methodology and how much time each topic should receive.\"},{\"question\":\"How did the authors collect data to support their proposed course structure?\",\"answer\":\"They surveyed top universities worldwide to gather detailed course outlines, and then analyzed the collected information along with the authors’ own teaching experience.\"},{\"question\":\"What does the paper present as its principal contribution?\",\"answer\":\"It presents a consolidated course content domain with relevant learning outcomes and different methodologies that can be used to teach an elementary database systems course.\"}]","Variants of Teaching First Course in Database Systems - Consolidated course content domain and teaching methodologies | PDF",1792082037,43,{"code":4,"msg":81,"data":99},[100,104,108,112,117,122,127,130,135,138,142],{"id":22,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":101,"show_sort_weight":102,"slug":103},"Story & Novel",90,"story-novel",{"id":26,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":105,"show_sort_weight":106,"slug":107},"Literature",80,"literature",{"id":33,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":109,"show_sort_weight":110,"slug":111},"Exam",70,"exam",{"id":113,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":114,"show_sort_weight":115,"slug":116},5,"Comic",60,"comic",{"id":118,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":119,"show_sort_weight":120,"slug":121},6,"Technology",50,"technology",{"id":123,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":124,"show_sort_weight":125,"slug":126},7,"Healthcare",40,"healthcare",{"id":85,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":29,"show_sort_weight":128,"slug":129},30,"research-report",{"id":131,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":132,"show_sort_weight":133,"slug":134},9,"Religion & Spirituality",20,"religion-spirituality",{"id":133,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":136,"show_sort_weight":133,"slug":137},"World Cup","world-cup",{"id":139,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":140,"show_sort_weight":139,"slug":141},10,"Lifestyle","lifestyle",{"id":143,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":144,"show_sort_weight":113,"slug":145},19,"General","general"]
