@article{Kung2012ComparingTW, title={Comparing Top-down with Bottom-up Approaches: Teaching Data Modeling}, author={Hsiang-Jui Kung and LeeAnn Kung and A. Gardiner}, journal={Information Systems Education Journal}, year={2012}, volume={11}, pages={14-24} }
Conceptual database design is a difficult task for novice database designers, such as students, and is also therefore particularly challenging for database educators to teach. [...] Key Result The findings suggest that database educators should integrate both top-down and bottom-up approaches in database design showing the differences and similarities between the two approaches to improve students’ learning of data modeling.Expand
