Learning History Transition Graphs for understanding the programming learning situations

Abstract

This research project aims at enabling easier understanding of a learning situation on the basis of a student's learning process (compile error history) in programming exercise currently conducted at universities. We express transition of learning history of a student in graph form of time series (we call it Learning History Transition Graph (LHTG)). Facilitators or a learner can refer to an LHTG along with additional information regarding the learner. Moreover, this paper describes a prototype of the support system for grasping the learning situation introducing LHTG along with the flow of our support. Application of this system enables a novel learning support with an emphasis on context.
