Improving Teaching of Python and C# Programming Languages in Higher Education through Subject Integration

Abstract

This article describes that in the rapidly evolving field of computer science, effective teaching of programming languages is crucial for preparing students to meet industry demands. This article examines the integration of Python and C# programming languages in higher education curriculums through subject integration. Subject integration involves combining multiple disciplines or subject areas to provide a more holistic approach to teaching. By blending Python's versatility and simplicity with C#'s structured object-oriented paradigms, students gain exposure to diverse programming paradigms, fostering a more comprehensive understanding of coding principles. The study proposes that integrating Python and C# into projects, algorithms, and data structure courses can enhance students' problem-solving skills and adaptability to various coding environments. It also discusses how leveraging shared topics between Python and C#, such as object-oriented programming, can create synergies that deepen conceptual understanding.
