Event-driven Programming in Programming Education

During the past two decades, event-driven programming (EDP) has emerged as a central and almost ubiquitous concept in modern software development: Graphical user interfaces are self-evident most mobile web-based applications, well many embedded systems, they often based on reacting to events. To facilitate both teaching practice research education, this mapping review seeks give an overview of related knowledge that is already available conference papers journal articles. Starting from early works 1990s, we identified 105 address practices, present learning resources, tools or libraries support learning, empirical studies EDP. We summarize publications, their main content, findings. While focus bachelor’s level education universities, there been substantial work K-12 level, well. Few courses EDP content—rather it integrated with CS1, CS2, computer graphics courses. The common languages environments addressed Java, App Inventor, Scratch. Moreover, very little deliberate experimental scientific carried out explicitly Consequently, while so-called experience reports, tool papers, anecdotal evidence have published, theme offers wide arena for future. At end article, suggest number directions future research.
