Programs and Algorithm Learning Environment by Visualizing Relations among Program Codes, Operations and World Model

Abstract

We propose a method to construct an educational system that supports learners to relate their understanding on concrete operations to both generalized algorithm and program codes. The system has functions visualizing relations among program codes, a sequence of operations achieving the purpose of the target algorithm, and status of the domain world. We implement the system and perform preliminary experimental evaluation. The result suggests that our system has some educational effects as we expect.
