Building Open Student Model based on Assessment Framework of Iteration Programming

Abstract

Programming involves complex skills and knowledge. Novice students encounter many difficulties and lack information for reflecting and improving their proficiencies in programming skills and knowledge. This paper presents a work-in-progress research to design a system with an open student model based on an assessment framework of iteration programming. The assessment framework includes strategies of counter-controlled loop and sentinel-controlled loop, implementation skills of while, for, and do-while, and program tracing abilities. The system presents open student models to students in order to assist students in reflecting their proficiencies in iteration programming.
