ABSTRACT
Problems with programming or object-oriented programming (OOP) have been reported in several studies. There is still a lack of studies that explore (particularly secondary school) students' conceptions of OOP.
Many introductory programming classes in German secondary schools use Greenfoot or BlueJ as an Educational IDE (eIDE). Surprisingly, there are almost no studies on the effect of eIDEs on students' conceptions of programming. This Ph.D. research project aims to find an applicable design approach to identify students' conceptions and mental models concerning the used eIDE.

Students' Conceptions of Object-Oriented Programming in the Context of Game Designing in Computing Education: Design of a Ph.D. Research Project to Explore Students' Conceptions in a Long-Term Study
SIGCSE '21: Proceedings of the 52nd ACM Technical Symposium on Computer Science EducationPlaying digital games seems to be an important leisure activity of 12 to 19 year olds in Germany: 63% of them stated to play at least several times a week in 2019. Studies show that dealing with game designing can have a positive effect on programming ...

The meaning of the term 'object oriented' is examined in the context of the general-purpose programming language C++. This choice is made partly to introduce C++ and partly because C++ is one of the few languages that supports data abstraction, object-...

Koli Calling '12: Proceedings of the 12th Koli Calling International Conference on Computing Education ResearchBased on the model of Educational reconstruction that was proposed by Kattmann et al. for Science Education in 1997, we derived a specific framework for the design and development of lessons in Computer Science (CS). We present and explain this ...
