Object-oriented methodology in pedagogy

Abstract

Concerns the application of the object-oriented methodology to the field of pedagogy - the science of education. Instead of the current structural approach, where the stress is on sequential learning, this paper suggests the use of this new methodology in designing an effective modular structure based on tree-like class hierarchies, and then implementing it in the classroom through a new approach. The latter seeks to introduce new concepts and ideas as classes, thus making it easy for the brain to assimilate the knowledge. The concept of a sample system acting as a practical and hands-on example of what the students learn is also introduced.
