Development and application of teaching-learning method for learning object-oriented concepts using arduino and physical etoys

Abstract

Programming learning can help people to solve a variety of real world problems by using a computer. Object-oriented programming allows student to analyze and solve the problem from the point of view of objects. In this paper our major goal is to develop teaching-learning method to help learning object-oriented concepts efficiently and to apply the concepts for students. In order to achieve the purpose of the paper, we conducted an experiment with 11 middle school students. The results of the study shows that novice programmer needs to define the object correctly and to plan what they want to create using objects prior to the implementation of the programming language. This study has significance that it propose teaching-learning method to help the learner to learn the object-oriented concepts efficiently. © Research India Publications.
