Preliminary Evaluation of a Problem-posing Method in Programming Classes

AbstractWe propose a method of problem-posing for improving students’ problem solving ability in programming and develop a system for supporting to operate the method in actual classes. In the proposed method students pose problems by modifying examples provided by the teacher, and they evaluate problems posed by other students on the basis of the diversity. This paper describes the overview of the proposed method and the system, and the evaluation of the proposed method by introducing it into fundamental programming class
