In this paper, we propose a new teaching-learning model with two-step feedback on programming language learning, which is a basic preliminary learning for programming. Programming learning is aimed at improving problem solving skills and thinking by experiencing problem solving through programming. For programming, the learner must know how to work with the computer and what to do with it. To do this, concrete thinking should be established and described in an accurate programming language. In recent, most studies have focused on the effects of programming learning and have not studied the effects of education on language itself. Therefore, in this study, the teaching-learning model for programming language education is presented and applied to the field, and the results are compared with the existing instructional-teaching model.

In this paper, we try to explore basic factors that defines easy-to-learn programming language and easy-to-learn development environments for novice students who have not been exposed to computer programming language education. For these purpose, we investigate and analyze computer programming languages that are widely used in industrial environments, and present the summary and analyzed results. From the experimental results, most novice programmers understand computer programming languages in terms of procedural programming languages rather than in terms of functional programming languages or object oriented programming languages. Furthermore, we have found that, for effective education of basic level programming languages, factors of development environments are much more important than factors of programming paradigms that the computer programming languages are based on.

Programming novices have various difficulties when they learn C language for the first time. Novices have a large burden for understanding of a C language grammar, and have a tendency to focus on the grammar rather than problem solving. Moreover, it requires programming domains to arouse student's interest for software development. This paper presents a programming environment for C languages education focusing on a problem solving. To this end, this paper defines Tiny-VPL that is a simple visual programming language for NXT robot programming and presents robot programming environment using Tiny-VPL. This paper also presents an environment for NXT robot programming using Mini-C language which is a subset of C language. For the purpose of helping to understand the C syntax and semantics, the visual and interactive conversion system of Tiny-VPL to Mini-C is provided. Our programming environment can arouse student's interest through robot programming and can be used effectively for C language education focusing on problem solving with graphical and interactive conversion of the visual language Tiny-VPL to the textual language Mini-C.

Most programming languages are designed based on English. It becomes another barrier in learning programming languages in non-English speaking country. If a programming language is presented using a native language, the education cost of programming will be much cheaper and the programming itself can be much more fun. However, designing the programming languages based on native languages has not been much focused or published up to now. It is partly because the evolution of popular programming languages is so fast, and partly because the efficiency of programs is much stressed than the source code. But, the designing of programming languages based on native language is not a small issue, especially if we reflect on the education of programming. In fact, there have been significant efforts reported in the Korean programming languages so far, but it has not practically been used in the education. This paper introduces yet another Korean programming language, namely Sprout, which is concise and can be easily learned by beginners. To demonstrate the conciseness of Sprout, we have performed two experiments on Sprout. Firstly, we compared the sizes of the programs in Sprout with those in former Korean programming languages. Secondly, we compared the size of Sprout, the language itself, with those of popular programming languages such as C and Python. According to the experiments, Sprout programs are more concise to 10% on average than those in former Korean languages. Furthermore, Sprout itself is more compact to 24% on average than other popular programming languages.

As IT technology improves, software is being more and more important. Industry demands higher level of programming ability from university graduates. As a result, programming related courses already take higher possession of electronics department curricula. But even though the environment likewise computer laboratory is improved as much, and professors have tried to enhance the quality of their lectures and educational results, still programming education does not match the demand of our society and industry. In this paper, we introduce the overview of programming education in electronics department, KUT and discuss problems in programming language education especially for the 1st year students, since programming education to the 1st year university students becomes one of the most important part as it deals with fundamentals on programming language and we suggest its improvement directions in regards with students, teaching materials, professors, class size, and class hours.

In designing and implementing of a distributed system, a programming language which can describe and implement the various interactions between distributed processes in distributed systems is indispensible. High level language constructs such as concurrency. process synchronization between distributed processes and mutually exclusive access to common data could be built in a distributed programming language under the proper support of a language kernel. In this paper, we studied the language constructs a distributed programming language must have and specified the kernel supports necessary in implementing that high level language constructs.

As the computer becomes pervasive in everyday life, the programming arises as an essential technique. To support the education of programming, Republic of Korea has launched a plan to develop the official courses of programming by 2018. However, the programming education in Korea tends to be difficult and the students easily lose their concentration since most of programming languages are based on English. This paper proposes a Korean programming language called Saesark to promote the effective programming education for Korean students. Saesark has been developed based on Java, which supports the object-oriented programming and the lambda expressions. In order to evaluate the educational suitability of Saesark, we compared it with other Korean programming languages in three respects: syntactic features, IDE support, and error messages in Korean. According to the comparison, Saesark is revealed more suitable than other languages. Specifically, the IDE features and the error messages in Korean are expected to be mostly valuable in educating novice programmers.

As the SW-centered society has emerged, SW-based problem-solving capabilities is emphasized in all areas of society. It is a trend that universities are obliged to do SW basic education for non-majors students and they are carrying out programming education. This study derives grammatical elements based on conciseness, generality, and efficiency among the design principles of programming language and based on it, compares and analyzes visual programming language and diagramming language. As a result, the efficiency of Raptor is more powerful than Scratch in the simplicity and generality, and the same tendency can be confirmed in the result of the learner's obtained in programming lesson. We hope that this study will contribute to the design and implementation of programming education based on features of programming language.

The purpose of this study is to develop the programming language teaching materials for the gifted of information with using the game. There are many curricula for teaching the information and technology to the gifted of information. There are not differences between these programs and the general IT curricula. The gifted of information has some complains about his curriculum(58/60, 96.67%). So this study developed the alternative programming language teaching materials for the gifted of information. This study concluded the effects of alternative materials for teaching programming language depend on learners' academic achievement about programming language with game activity. This study also looks forward to being able to indicate new direction to develop the teaching materials for the gifted of information.

Dolittle is a educational programming language that helps students learning principles and concepts of computer science with programming. Learning programming with robot improve learning achievements robot motivate to be interest with programming. However, Dolittle robot programming is a different from Dolittle programming in process of interpretation and execution mechanism. Therefore, students have virtually to learn two languages to control robot and it would reduce the worth of Dolittle as educational programming language. In order to solve this problem, we tried to Unify Dolittle and robot control language using parser that Dolittle program with turtle object convert robot program. But this try couldn't overcome completely this problem because attributes of turtle object is different from robot. In this research we unified Dolittle programming and Dolittle robot programming as a way of adding new robot object in dolittle standard object group. it would improve educational effect of learning programming with robot in Dolittle.
