| Abstract Type: | Contributed Poster Presentation |
| Abstract: | The revolutionary new field of Quantum Computing (QC) continues to gain attention in industry, academia and government in both research and education. At educational institutions, there is a proliferation of introductory courses at various academic levels signaling a growing interest and recognition of the significance of this field. There is a great need for empirical investigations of the effectiveness of learning materials and pedagogical approaches in this new interdisciplinary field. These investigations can serve as the basis for curriculum development and learning and assessment resources. In this poster, we present an empirical investigation done at an R1 University using the multiple case study method. The research methodology involves conducting interviews with students, analyzing the interview transcripts to identify students' strengths and difficulties, especially on specific topics covered by a set of mini-tutorials, and comparing the two cases of students taught with and without the mini-tutorials. |
