A Proposed What-Why-How (WWH) Learning Model for Students and Strengthening Learning Skills Through Computational Thinking

In-spite of facilities and ambiances available in an organization, novice students often face challenges to develop a right attitude and framework for productive learning. Through a case study in our university, we explore some difficulties and challenges faced by the freshers to strengthen and enhance their learning skills. We focus on generating questions from trivial to nontrivial level in a systematic way to explore the learning patterns. We propose a learning model, which we popularly call as What-Why- How (WWH) model, for providing a framework to strengthen learning skills. Computational thinking will be a fundamental skill, which can be used by everyone in future to strengthen and enhance learning. It is a thought process that involves formulating problems so that solutions can be represented as computational steps and algorithms. In our work, we integrate the computational thinking approach in our proposed WWH model of learning and develop a novel framework to resolve some of the challenges associated with learning skills of freshers in educational institutions.
