Using different assessment screens to evaluate students' Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) skills

Essay from the year 2016 in the subject Didactics - Computer Science, , language: English, abstract: Assessing students in classrooms is important. Self-assessment is also another important part in teaching and learning. It helps both teachers and the students to understand where to improve in the school curriculum. Therefore in this paper we have talked on the different self-assessment screens which are available to teach computer programming. We proposed a new way of self-assessing novice learners to evaluate novice Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) learners theoretical and java coding skills. A previous work was published (Hosanee, 2015) where the requirements of a novice OOP tool were identified. An OOP novice learning tool was built. The software consisted of many features. E-assessment was among one of the software. Therefore, in this paper, the assessments screens are being evaluated. Feedbacks received from novice OOP learners confirmed that the screens were simple and students enjoyed answering the questions.
