| Abstract: |
In this study, we developed a presentation software program (CodEx) for web programming language courses. It has functions to display sample source code, edit it, and display its execution result all in one slide. To evaluate the efficiency of this software (CodEx), two experiments were conducted. First, reviews done by nine teachers proved its efficiency in teaching programming language. Secondly, to evaluate the effectiveness of CodEx, we conducted a micro teaching experiment which compared our proposed teaching method (CodEx) with the conventional method, based on tests and a questionnaire. The tests included fill-in-the-blank questions, and tests of reading and writing programming codes. In the reading test, students taught with CodEx obtained higher scores than those taught by the conventional method. Our findings suggest that this software is better at helping students to understand the mechanism of programming codes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
