Practice and Effects of Algorithm Education through Manual Procedures

Abstract

In alg orithm education, creating a program is as important as understanding the principle of an algorithm . Even if students understand the principle of an algorithm, it is not easy to build an algorithm for programming. Therefore, the authors tried empirical algorithm education with manual activities by using sort algorithms as learning materials, so that the students could understand the principles of algorithms and improve their capability building algorithm for programming. The authors will report the details and learning effect of the educational practice.
