Abstract. In this paper, we describe the development of a support system that facilitates the process of learning computer programming through the reading of computer program source code. Reading code consists of two steps: reading comprehension and meaning deduction. In this study, we developed a tool that supports the comprehension of a program's reading. The tool is equipped with an error visualization function that illustrates a learner's mistakes and makes them aware of their errors. We conducted experiments using the learning support tool and confirmed that the system is effective.

“…Earlier programming education studies on reading source code provide a lot of valuable knowledge about a characteristic of programming learners, teaching method, and program-ming learning support system. As a remarkable effort, a framework on reading source code was proposed [5]. Next, Arai et al developed a learning support system for programming beginners that facilitates the process of learning by reading source code, and confirmed that the system was effective [6].…”

The authors have developed a programming learning support system based on source code reading whose primary target is novice programming learners. This system trains its learners by giving questions requiring to answer a variable's value after the execution of a presented source code. This paper shows the details of the developed system and the examination result on the effect and the expectation of reading simple source codes based on the real operation to a basic programming lecture. After the learners had completed one semester of the instruction in programming by utilizing the developed system, we obtained learner's responses by a questionnaire and analyzed it with factor analysis. The analysis result unveiled the characteristic factors and these degrees.

“…Additionally, with the new learning guidelines, the emphasis will be placed on computational thinking, rather than programming itself. Many studies on programming education have been done [3]. As a related study, there is research on programming education for beginners using operation logs [4,5].…”

To support the understanding of programs and understanding of procedures, we think need to automatically generate comments from source code. As a method, we learn the source code and comment pair by Encoder-Decoder translation model using LSTM, thereby generating comments of the source code that was the target of learning. In the Encoder-Decoder translation model, the source code of a program and its pair of comments are learned. However, that method does not know the domain of the program being used, so the comments that can be generated automatically may not be appropriate. In the use of learning, such as programs and algorithms for the purpose of computational thinking, it is possible to obtain relate information, such as problem statements and explanations. Therefore, we propose some methods to improve generated comments by using relate external information, such as question sentences. Also, we generate comments for each line and each block.
