TY - JOUR A1 - Opel, Simone A1 - Kramer, Matthias A1 - Trommen, Michael A1 - Pottbäcker, Florian A1 - Ilaghef, Youssef T1 - BugHunt BT - A Motivating Approach to Self-Directed Problem-solving in Operating Systems JF - KEYCIT 2014 - Key Competencies in Informatics and ICT N2 - Competencies related to operating systems and computer security are usually taught systematically. In this paper we present a different approach, in which students have to remove virus-like behaviour on their respective computers, which has been induced by software developed for this purpose. They have to develop appropriate problem-solving strategies and thereby explore essential elements of the operating system. The approach was implemented exemplarily in two computer science courses at a regional general upper secondary school and showed great motivation and interest in the participating students.
