Validation d'une approche ? basee sur exemples ? pour l'apprentissage de la programmation

摘要

Although computers and programs have now become essential in experimental sciences as analysis or measurement tools, many students still find learning Computer Science is extremely difficult. Many studies have characterized the errors and difficulties encountered by novice programmers. From some years, we explore the use of a particular paradigm, programming by examples, to lower these difficulties.The work being presented here intends to be a first evaluation of this approach, in connection with the difficulties reported by the authors. Two experiments of MELBA, the tool developed in the context of the project, are thus described and discussed.
