Abstract
When learning programming, it is important to improve one’s own code. In this study, we have proposed an evaluation function that uses robot programming and a ranking system based on evaluations, and have developed and evaluated a code-sharing platform that allows users to learn only code with similar ranks. Although the evaluation confirmed a certain learning effect of the developed system in an experimental environment with a small number of participants, it is desirable to increase the number of participants in an environment where the code is shared. Therefore in this paper, we conducted a class for second-year university students and verified whether the same learning effects could be obtained in a large-group environment. The evaluation results suggest that the learning effect and the motivation to learn are enhanced in the same way as in a small-group environment.
