ABSTRACT
The teaching of the object-oriented paradigm has become a very common practice in the introduction of computer courses and the difficulties in the teaching-learning process of this paradigm are well known. This paper presents the results obtained from analyzes on the process of constructing UML Class Diagrams, through experiments. For this, a tool was developed to support the teaching-learning process of the object-oriented paradigm, during the construction of Class Diagrams. The main objective of the tool is to collect and analyze the data generated by the students during the construction of Class Diagrams, not only evaluating the final model constructed by the students, but the whole course to obtain this model. With the results generated, the teacher had the possibility to individually assist students with their main difficulties in understanding the object-oriented paradigm. It was observed that after the intervention of the teacher, several students were able to become sufficient in the understanding of the concepts of object orientation, reaching the proposed objectives.

UML diagram refinement (focusing on class- and use case diagrams)
ICSE '17: Proceedings of the 39th International Conference on Software EngineeringLarge and complicated UML models are not useful, because they are difficult to understand. This problem can be solved by using several diagrams of the same system at different levels of abstraction. Unfortunately, UML does not define an explicit set of ...
Generating operation specifications from UML class diagrams: A model transformation approach
One of the more tedious and complex tasks during the specification of conceptual schemas (CSs) is modeling the operations that define the system behavior. This paper aims to simplify this task by providing a method that automatically generates a set of ...
Formalization of UML diagrams and their consistency verification: A Z notation based approach
ISEC '08: Proceedings of the 1st India software engineering conferenceIn this paper, we have suggested a methodology for formalizing some of the commonly used UML diagrams that are used in different phases of software development in Z notation, establish their relationship and then represent the "formalized" diagrams ...
