Abstract

The research of the object-oriented visual programming education is related to investigate the instructional method for computer programming, the process for program development for students, and the suitability analysis and design methodology for program development. In order to develop the educational methodology for the students who have the difficulties to study the computer programming and to enhance the abilities for the development of object-oriented programs, in this paper, we suggest the evaluation metrics to apply and assess for the object-oriented programming education. Also, we introduce the visual programming education methodology and curriculum using Alice programming. The evaluation metrics for the visual programming education suggested in this paper, is accepted when the visual programming languages/tools are used in the programming education to assess and analyze the suitabilities for the programming education for students, so to utilize the analyses for abilities of understanding, abstraction, and program implementation by level.

객체 지향 시각 프로그래밍 교육에 대한 연구는 학생들이 프로그램 개발을 진행하는 과정 혹은 프로그래밍을 교수하는 방법론과 프로그램 개발을 위한 적합성 분석 및 설계 방법론을 찾는 것과 관련된다. 학생들이 프로그래밍 교육에서 학습에 어려움을 겪고 있는 객체 지향 프로그램 개발 능력을 향상시킬 수 있는 교육 방법으로 이 논문에서는 컴퓨터 프로그래밍 교육에서 객체 지향 시각 프로그래밍 교육을 적용하고 평가하기 위한 평가 지표를 개발하고, Alice 프로그래밍을 통한 시각 프로그래밍 교육 방법론과 교과과정을 도입한다. 이 논문에서 제시된 시각 프로그래밍 교육의 평가 지표는 시각 프로그래밍 언어/도구를 사용할 때 학생들의 프로그래밍 교육에 대한 적합성을 측정하고 분석하여 학생들의 이해력, 추상화 능력, 프로그램 구현 능력과 학생들의 수준별 적합성을 측정하고 분석한다.
