A REVIEW ON REVERSE APPROACH FOR SQL QUESTION GENERATION

Computer Engineering

Structured Query Language (SQL) is a language which inserts, manipulates and retrieves data stored in a relational database. It is an essential knowledge that all computer science students must have. With the aim of making students learn SQL appropriately, the instructor spends a lot of time and effort to prepare SQL exercises for teaching SQL queries to them. However, with time limitation, the SQL instructor or teacher had to reuse the old exercises which have small number of exercises with a lesser amount of diversity in SQL commands. Due to this, the students might not have sufficient exercises to meet their need. And also practicing with the same exercises repeatedly cannot help in improving student’s learning outcome. Thus, instructors or teachers and students or SQL learners, all require a way which can benefits both of them. This paper reviews the ways which uses the reverse approach that is creating the answers first and then the questions are generated from the answers. This methods not only saves the time of instructors in creating exercises but also provides the students or learners with the variety of questions for practice.
