Programming Learning Support System ‘CAPTAIN’ with Motivational Study Model

Abstract

ARCS model is known as a learning model aiming at stimulating and sustain the learner’s motivation to learn. In this paper, the ARCS model is applied for a motivational learning model for programming language learning environment. Features to realize the motivational learning model are proposed, and implemented in the programming training system CAPTAIN currently under development. The proposed system is applied in an actual programming course. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed features designed to realize the motivational learning model is discussed, and future works are pointed out.
