Visual Programming Pedagogies and Integrating Current Visual Programming Language Features
Master's Thesis, Tech. Report, Robotics Institute, Carnegie Mellon University, August, 2009
Abstract
This Master's Thesis presents research on pedagogic visual programming languages for computer science education. In it we review previous work, discuss current concepts and tools, and propose further work with initial ndings for a new visual Java environment called JubJub. JubJub was created as part of this research to support customizable sets of visual bocksl in order to easily interface with diverse sets of educational material. JubJub was inspired by many features of current pedagogic and visual languages, as well as interviews with experts in the eld of CS education and visual programming languages. A prototype of JubJub was created and used in a pilot test, the results of which will direct future development of JubJub.
