Improving Computing Graduates Writing Skill using Constructivism based Blended Learning Model- An Action Research Study

Recognizing that technical report writing is an important employability skill, an action research study was embarked to examine the efforts of implementing writing interventions through constructivist based blended learning model to improve computing graduates writing skills. The research was implemented in 142 term for computing graduates of Prince Sultan University, Saudi Arabia. Data was collected through students' interviews and from Moodle Turnitin, Workshop, Forum and Wiki to analyse the benefits that the students perceived from each intervention to improve their writing for computing discipline. Encouraging results from this research suggest new avenues that the computing instructors can practise in their teaching learning process to help students improve their writing skills. In addition, students' confidence level increased and the approach encouraged a positive attitude towards writing.
