“…The survey shows as in figure 2 that 98% of the students need additional courses to enhance PLL which is supporting what has been mentioned by previous studies conducted in Saudi Arabia. Studies conducted at King Saud Universities, King Abdelaziz Universities, Tabuk University and also several investigations at different universities in Saudi Arabia state that students struggle with PLL and need more support [5][6][7][8][9].…”

“…Also, they point out that the rate of failures is high at universities. Moussaet al [9] conducted an experimental study at King Abdul-Aziz University in computer science department and indicate that students struggle with programming courses and need technological assistance. Indeed, students at universities still need more effort to increase their ability to comprehend programming [10].…”

Severalstudies stated that Computer Science (CS) students at Saudi Arabia universities face difficulties in programming languages learning (PLL) and need more assistance. Fortunately, Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) have been recognized as modern meansthat could be acceptable amongst CS learners. This piece of research aims to clarify the importance of enhancing PLL via MOOCs in Saudi Arabia. This research applied a quantitative research approach that utilized questionnaire as a research instrument. The survey was distributed among CS students to illustrate the current situation of the students’ need and acceptance of MOOCs on PLL. The investigation included 132 participants from different departments in the faulty of Computer Science (CS) at Umm Alqura University and Taif University in Saudi Arabia. The questionnaire results show that 98% believe that they need additional courses in PLL and 94% are accepting the idea of utilizing MOOCs on PLL, on the other hand, the results also show that 77% of the participants have not attended a single PLL course via MOOC. Other results and future research are discussed as wel

“…This problem is referred as the students' conception of the term object as a simple record of a database. The students do not understand the aspect of behavior and variation as a function of the object's state (Hadar, 2013;Jordine et al, 2015;Karahasanović et al, 2007;Moons & De Backer, 2009;Moussa et al, 2016;Olsson & Mozelius, 2015;Rajashekharaiah et al, 2016;Sajaniemi et al, 2007;Sanders et al, 2008;Sheetz, 2002;Sheetz et al, 1997;Sien & Chong, 2011;Tegarden & Sheetz, 2001;Thomasson et al, 2006;Xinogalos, 2015;Yang et al, 2018).

“…The students even refer to the difficulty in distinguishing between class and object. They generally assimilate class as a collection of objects, rather than an abstraction (Benander et al, 2004;Biddle & Tempero, 1998;Gorschek et al, 2010;Hadar, 2013;Hubwieser & Mühling, 2011;Karahasanović et al, 2007;Lewis et al, 2004;Moons & De Backer, 2009;Moussa et al, 2016;Musil & Richta, 2017;Nelson et al, 1997;Rajashekharaiah et al, 2016;Sajaniemi et al, 2007;Sanders et al, 2008;Sheetz, 2002;Sheetz et al, 1997, Sien, 2011, Sien & Chong, 2011, Tegarden & Sheetz, 2001, Thomasson et al, 2006Xinogalos, 2015;J.

“…The students do not know how to determine the number of methods needed or what labels or names to assign to them. They do not understand how to reuse methods or their proper placement (Berges et al, 2012;Gorschek et al, 2010;Hubwieser & Mühling, 2011;Karahasanović et al, 2007;Moons & De Backer, 2009;Moussa et al, 2016;Olsson & Mozelius, 2015;Sajaniemi et al, 2007;Sanders et al, 2008;Sheetz et al, 1997;Tegarden & Sheetz, 2001).

Ranking of problems and solutions in the teaching and learning of object-oriented programming

2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This study describes the most relevant problems and solutions found in the literature on teaching and learning of object-oriented programming (OOP). The identification of the problem was based on tertiary studies from the IEEE Xplore, Scopus, ACM Digital Library and Science Direct repositories. The problems and solutions identified were ranked through the multi-criteria decision methods DEMATEL and TOPSIS in order to determine the best solutions to the problems found and to apply these results in the academic context. The main contribution of this study was the categorization of OOP problems and solutions, as well as the proposal of strategies to improve the problem. Among the most relevant problems it was found: 1) difficulty in understanding, teaching and implementing object-orientation, 2) difficulties related to understanding classes and 3) difficulty in understanding object-oriented relationships. After doing the multicriteria analysis, it was found that the most important solutions to face the problems found in the teaching of OOP were: 1) use of active learning techniques and intrinsic rewards and 2) emphasize on basic programming concepts and introduce the object-oriented paradigm at an early point in the curriculum. As a conclusion, it was evidenced that there is coherence between the literary guarantee that gives support to the problems and solutions in the teaching of OOP presented in this study and the approaches that experts in the area of development highlight as relevant when they identify weaknesses in the process.
