© 2016 WIETE. This study aimed to reduce the number of students that failed in the examination of Computer Programming 1, which is a part of the Bachelor of Science Programme in Computer Science at Rajamangala University of Technology Phra Nakhon, Bangkok, Thailand. This subject concentrates on practical teaching. The authors oversaw teaching that subject and collected the academic results of 192 students in the academic years 2013 and 2014. With a traditional method of teaching, it was found that 15.11% of students in the academic year 2013 failed compared with 30.18% of students in 2014. The authors, then, improved teaching management of Computer Programming 1 for the academic year 2015. This improved teaching management used best practice to reduce the number of students with poor results or failing in the examination of the subject in future academic years, as well as another subject concentrating on the practical teaching.
