“…Not much instructional material was available in 1986 (cf. Bailes and Salzman, 1989;Savitch, 1989), and similar courses are mostly of a more recent date. So, the course and the material have been developed from scratch.…”

“…In 1986, functional programming was taught only as a facultative subject for students with reasonable experience in imperative programming. Not much instructional material was available in 1986 (compare Bailes 1989, Savitch 1989, and similar courses are mostly of a more recent date. So, the course and the material have been developed from scratch.…”

In the period 1986–1991, experiments have been carried out with an introductory course in computer programming, based on functional programming. Due to thorough educational design and evaluation, a successful course has been developed. This has led to a revision of the computer programming education in the first year of the computer science curriculum at the University of Twente.This article describes the approach, the aim of the computer programming course, the outline and subject matter of the course, and the evaluation. Educational research has been done to assess the quality of the course.

“…• Consequently, if chosen for an introductory programming course, their use sets a tone oriented towards and facilitating an "engineering" approach toward software development throughout the curriculum, rather than an amateurish one in which formal methods and the like are regarded as mere options (Bailes, Salzman, & Rosel, 1989). • Although there remain some applications for which functional language implementations fail to provide adequate execution performance, the entire field of rapid prototyping is a perfect one for the application of tools and techniques that emphasize the economical production of correct software (Henderson, 1986;Turner, 1985a).…”

Discovering Functional Programming Through Imperative Languages

The pedagogical desirability of functional programming is effectively swamped by an overwhelmingly imperative-language-oriented culture. Because a meaningful subset of the functional paradigm is accessible within imperative languages, it is possible to identify a subset of Modula-2 that characterizes the functional paradigm subset. A series of listprocessing problems and their solutions in the Modula-2 subset provides students with ample exposure to the practice and theory of functional programming. Extension to the full functional paradigm and migration to specialized functional languages are managed, in the worst case by initial pseudo-Modula-2 programming involving hypothetical extensions supporting higher-order functions and polymorphism. More powerful solutions to this problem are foreshadowed, in the form of preprocessor implementations of Modula-2-and Ada-derivative functional languages.

“…Moreover, the learning of programming in a functional programming style should have advantages over learning in an imperative style (Springer & Friedman, 1990;Bailes & Salzman, 1989). At the University of Twente, first year students in Computer Science receive a course in functional programming, which forms the base of the programming curriculum (Joosten & van den Berg, 1990).…”
